Comment on Adobe buys Macromedia by Phillip Swindall

Phillip Swindall — Mon, 30 May 2005 22:02:00 +0000

OK… isn’t this dejavu all over again???? Doesn’t my memory serve me correctly when I remember that Adobe bought Macromedia once before??? I am almost positive that back in the early 90s they bought the company, took what they wanted, decided they couldn’t support TWO publishing companies and released (read sold to investors) Macromedia. I’ll have to see if I can research this some more… but I’m almost sure enough to volunteer the sacrifice of a body part if I’m wrong…. and I did say almost LOL

I feel like it's my duty to link to Why Apple Makes a One Buttoned Mouse

As a switcher, you get used to it. As a first timer, it's the easiest possible model to follow.

As to the hack - IBM Thinkpads had the motion sensor technology before the new Powerbooks did. I suspect this could very easily be ported to the PC.

I haven’t Chase, but I might buy one this Monday so I can! I’ve already spent $200 on my Nintendo DS, but I think I can spare a few hundred more for the PSP!
