  • No, Adobe did not cancel its popular $10 Creative Cloud Photography plan

    Adobe is the one that started all of this "consumers pay a subscription for the rest of their lives" crap. It's a great idea for corporate software (CRM, HCM...) for bigger companies that add or subtract seats every month, but for the creative community - where single-seat, independent, freelancers that don't have consistent revenues are a big demographic - it's a forced burden that you MUST pay every month until you no longer want access to your projects and files (basically for the rest of your life). Gone are the days where you upgraded every two or three years and could scrimp on by if you had to stretch it to four.

    Avid does it correctly with Protools IMHO. You can get the subscription if you need it for a short while or are a large production facility with consistent cash flow, but you can also get the perpetual license that gives you access to everything for a year, but then still works indefinitely after the year ends.

    Malheur a Adobe!

    Cook: "This is one that I'm largely going to punt on."

    Anyone know what does this means? 
    He's not going to "play" the point. He's going to "punt".
    It means "No Comment" basically.

    Looks like the old Minitels we had in France around that time.

    This will go nowhere in the U.S.  --  Trump relies on a network of paid Russian, Saudi and right wing trolls to spread divisiveness, propaganda and Alternative Facts in order to gain and retain control of our country.   (Ads and surveys are only a superficial, top layer of that network.)
    What now?

    Hackers and virus writers are not interested in an OS yhat account for less than 10% of computers and phones. If they were our macs and ios devices will be as bad as windows if not worse. 
    Ah yes, security through obscurity. Because if there's one company I think of when I hear "obscure", it's Apple.
    People that have Apple computers have more money. Hackers are in it for the money right? And can you imagine the fame of the person that comes up with a real virus (like the 999 viruses a day found on Windows) for the Mac?
    Really, this has been proven over and over again - Macs are more secure than Windows computers.
