Hopefully by the time you read this, you will be able to download your iTunes play-list as an XML file then embed an interactive Flash animation that displays your songs on your Facebook page or website.  Um, you probably won't get this mashable app from Apple, but instead from some clever basement developer doing it ...

eXpress Yourself: Adobe gives it away

Adobe launched Photoshop Express beta today. It's a very "flashy" web-based consumer-oriented photo editing product. It integrates it's own album sharing feature, and links directly to Photobucket, Facebook, and Picasa. The features are pretty basic - certainly not what I'd call a slimmed-down Photoshop. The flash interface is terrific. Simply rolling over editing options automatically ...

Yesterday was the launch day for Pixelmator a Mac OS X graphic application which meets my Photoshop needs. Yes, I really will be giving up on Adobe Photoshop for Pixelmator. In fact, I think Pixelmator surpasses Photoshop with its User Interface elegance. These are my initial impressions after using the application for ...

If you're from Ottawa you've probably heard of Corel, the makers of CorelDraw and the current home of WordPerfect. I have not been a fan of Corel since they took my beloved Fractal ...

Pixelmator

I've been holding out on buying Adobe CS3 for my new iMac for weeks now. I'm still using my old machine to do my Photoshop work and it's a pain. I've tried just about every alternative freeware / shareware product that's currently available and let me tell you, there's not much that can ...

Much Ado About Adobe Apollo Alpha

Adobe Apollo

The news this week from Adobe about their release of Adobe Labs' Apollo alpha was very exciting. I quickly downloaded the runtime engine and some sample apps. Unfortunately, nothing worked on my PC, but my PC was running an old OS. Take two, I tried again with my Mac and success! How fun, it worked! Apollo ...

Adobe Scans Blogs Effectively

February 19th, 2007 Jobe Roberts 4 comments

We were very surprised by the instant response we received here at the site over a post Baxter wrote for us on his frustrations with the Adobe website.. His mission was to buy Dreamweaver in Canadian dollars on the Adobe website. Unfortunately, he failed and continues to fail his attempts even today. The response from Adobe ...
