A story from James Ward...
"/The highlight of the trip was a lightning talk about how one of the
attendees used a Flex app to recover a friend's stolen laptop. The
presenter discovered that the friend's stolen laptop was signed into
Skype so he sent a message to the thief pretending to think that he was
sending a message to his friend. The message asked him to click on a
link which took him to a Flex app that started up the webcam and
recorded the thief's face for a few minutes using Red5. They sent the
video to the police who recognized the thief and apprehended him and
recovered the stolen laptop. That couldn't have been done with
Silverlight, JavaFX, or Ajax!"/
