AutoRunnable application for USB - language-agnostic

I want to make an application which will reside in USB and as soon USB is plugged it will open Google.com in its default browser(It should run in all platform Mac,Windows,Linux). I tried making Autorun.inf file but it didn't help.I will appreciate any kind of help in this matter.

You may want to use a browser resident on the same USB.
There's a version of portable Chrome on portableapps.com

Remote Debugging won't connect

I sort of make shift followed this guide on how to setup remote debugging. Since I am using Adobe Animate to compile my app I assume it has done the majority of the build steps already as I get a similar screen described.
I don't understand though. Here I have port forwarding up on my router so that it goes to my PC. I have TCP port 7935 up and open. Windows firewall on or off doesn't seem to make difference. Windows firewall even prompted me to allow or deny fdb after I ran it. I can't get my phone to connect via remote debugging. I want to be able to send this to my client who is having issue with the app so I can see what's going on under the hood instead of relying on a giant sum of try/catch statements and screenshots. Any help?
I tried a dummy domain and it seems to know that it can't connect to it. When I try mine or my IPv4 it doesn't let me connect. It just freezes up the app.
I don't know whether it works or not in Animate CC, but it works via Flash Builder. I'm using Android real device and I have Android SDK tools installed on my PC
Yes, I have followed that tuts from official Adobe docs, but that doesn't work
First: Simply connect your device to your PC
Actually , you can debug your app remotely as long as your device has been connected with your PC. This step, doesn't necessarily requires FDB.
In my case , all I need was things like
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx:port
this will connect your Android device with your PC on your default network .
Second, set debug setting over network
You've done it in Animate CC, with addition you might want to check "install application on the connected device'
Third, just debug as usual
You can get all those debugging stuff including traces

Building a web page without having internet access

I want to build a web site using my laptop in areas where I often do not have internet access - no active browser. How do I check my pages to see how things are going without a browser?
Just drag-and-drop the .html file into your favourite web-browser. It should open up with the "file:///" protocol automatically.
You should always have a local web server installed on your machine for development.
For example, Mac OSX comes with Apache pre-installed. You might have to activate it. You can also install a server language like PHP or Python. Again, OSX comes with those pre-installed, might just need activation. Google how to set up a local server on the type of OS you have.
You should try to replicate the type of server setup you will be using in production.
That will permit you to code locally and test in your browser.
You should also use some kind of versioning system like Git. So, you code on your local machine, then you can push your code to the cloud once in a while for backup. When you're ready, upload your code to the production server and try it out.

USB Token for autentication in website form

I have a website with HTML login form I want to use USB device as token to login into my website.
How can I use USB device for authentication and login via USB flash memory.
Is it possible to copy something like certificate on USB and when I connect it to my computer its automatically log into Website.
Thank you
Have a look at the yubikey, a good and inexpensive usb-token (http://www.yubico.com/yubikey).
Yubikeys register als usb keyboard, and because of that work on every system (that support usb keyboards) without the installation of any device drivers.
You can find many examples online how to use their one-time-key authentification service with php, ruby-on-rails or whatever language you use for your webpage.
If your system isn't connected to the internet you can still use the static key that the yubikey also can generate.

How can I launch an OSX application from the browser?

I'm coding an admin panel with a web interface that will only be run locally (not client-facing or hosted on an external server), and it would be helpful if it could launch an application from an <a href="">. Is this possible? I understand that this could be a browser security thing, but I also know that there are iTunes and App Store links (not quite sure how those work either), and I assume this is also possible for launching "x" application. How can I do this?
it is only possible if the application you want to start registers its own URI scheme with the OS. Though you could write your own app that starts other apps on demand. You'll have to register your own scheme then.
Found a solution! Instead of using an <a href="">, I've decided to run a shell command from a PHP script that just does open application_name.app and redirect back to the referrer.

File browser access to Chrome's sandboxed filesystems

I'm writing a Google Chrome app that stores things locally with the HTML5 FileSystem API. Is there any way to use Windows Explorer to get to the directory where Chrome stores these files or is it entirely virtual and inaccessible from outside the app? I haven't been able to find the directory by poking around nor have I seen any reference online to it.
I suppose I could just write something within the app to allow me GUI management of the files my app stores or just use the developer console, but it would really be a time saver to use WE.
Nevermind, I just found it. For anyone looking, it's in (on my windows 7 machine at least)
C:\Users\ user \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\File System
Also note that this was in Chrome 11, in Chrome 13 there were some changes to the FileSystem (probably for security) that make it very difficult to find specific files by scrolling through the files in Chrome's AppData space.
