You say you dont like Macs..but they sure are....

Wearable

Firstly, check out what Nike are planning to do with the ipod compatible show. This stuff is awesome as well as interesting. It's really the first real step towards on the market/affordable wearable computers.

Recyclable

You know we all need to make more of an effort when it comes to recycling our old computer hardware. This guy has it down to a tee. Those old boxes can now be reused in a quirky way you never dreamed of.

and Loveable

At the risk of this sounding too corny. You gotta love it when animals or small kids discover technology...they either get it or they dont. This cute kitty definately doesn't get it.

Adobe calls time on GoLive

It seemed inevietable that when Adobe bought its competitor Macromedia last year, that some software packages that we were familiar with would bite the dust.

Up until now Adobe have been biding their time, they have recently changed the Macromedia website, and made it very confusing and hard to use...like adobe .com, so nothing new there then.

Now they announce that GoLive is to be no more. Personally, I wont miss it as I have never used it. I'm sure there will be those in the Adobe community who will be pretty "miffed" though.

However, if you have ever used Dreamweaver the equivalent program from Macromedia you would recognise its clear superiority, and understand why Adobe have called time on GoLive.

The same rule will apply to Macromedia Freehand...Adobe illustrator knocks spots off freehand.
Adobe have said thay they will not discontinue FH but upgrade it a few times. There will be no new releases.
