Over 1 Billion Served

It's always nice to witness the birth of a new platform (iPhone). The speed of over a billion apps downloaded from the App Store is amazing. It just illustrates the changing landscape of software development and the nature of technological excellence. If you build good tech customers will quickly come. Software development today is a very different world then days gone past when Aladdin 4D was originally created. We watch and hope and dream for better days in the future.

Just a Little Hash?

A few of you have asked why we sometimes veer off topic on the Aladdin 4D Blog. It's suppose to be about that damn Aladdin 4D after all right? What you don't know is that we do it on purpose and it was slightly inspired by Martin Hashes Minutes. Who is that? Martin Hash is the CEO of Hash Inc. and they have been creating 3D animation software since the late 1980's on the Amiga. Today they are a Windows/Mac shop but they started before many others. Martin used to write some very creative and interesting minutes before Blog times. He too veered off topic many many times! Find out more about Hash Inc. below and get a sample of Martin's Minutes. Thanks Martin for inspiring us just little. Maybe you could make all your minutes available on the web again for everyone to enjoy?
