OK, I told friends and family I was not interested in the iPad, and I wasn't. But last week, we were in Vegas and I took my laptop with me which was a pain in the butt. Pretty much the only thing I used it for was Netflix. When I saw that a Netflix streaming app came out for the iPad, I decided to go look at it. Then, I decided to buy it. Check out the unboxing below. A full review will be coming out at the end of the week.

How-To: Uninstall Adobe Air

2010-03-02T16:03:49Z

I have recently had issues with Tweetdeck and they recommended uninstalling Tweetdeck and Adobe Air then reinstalling. Problem is, I had a bit of a hard time uninstalling Adobe Air since they don't give you any instructions on how to do it. On the Mac, most programs allow you to just delete the application, but Air installs some extras and you need to run the uninstaller.

Windows:

Download the Air Application from http://get.adobe.com/air/ (Note the locations you saved it)
From the command prompt, or Start->Run menu type the following:
- c:\\AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -uninstall

Mac OSX:

Download the Air Application from http://get.adobe.com/air/ (Note the locations you saved it)
Mount (Open) the DMG
From Terminal:
- sudo "/Volumes/Adobe AIR/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe AIR Installer" -uninstall

That should take care of it. Note that I didn't test the Windows install but this should be pretty acurate. If you have trouble on the Mac, after step 2 it may be easier to:

cd "/Volumes/Adobe AIR/Adobe AIR Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/"
sudo "./Adobe AIR Installer" -uninstall
