Illustrator: Remember… this product costs $600.
Adobe patches CS5 security hole for free…
But only after the public shitstorm
OH THANK YOU SO MUCH ADOBE FOR PATCHING CRITICAL BUGS IN YOUR SOFTWARE FOR FREE and not expecting everyone to cough up $200 just for the privilege of secure software.
The main point to take away from this was they fully intended not to fix this at all in CS5 until they got so much bad press over it. Shows how much they value their customers, I think I will “exercise caution” next time I open my wallet for Adobe.
Sketch 2.0
Excellent new version of the UI/Web design tool from Bohemian Coding. Something for UI designers to check out while they wait for the CS6 release.
Zero respect for any company that does things like this. Utterly pathetic selling your users out in such a sleazy way.
The Flash plugin isn’t something just used by experienced users smart enough to see through this trash.
“Adobe’s latest critical security update pushes scareware” on ZDNet
This with the new Flash Player “Premium Features” you’d think Adobe is trying to kill Flash.
Flash: Amazing how broken a badly coded UI can become.
Note how the document state (The * which appears next to the file name when it’s edited) never becomes dirty while making all these changes and the undo stack isn’t updated either.
Flash: Fuck you Adobe.
and you wonder why so many people took Apple’s side during the iOS fiasco.
Flash: Sometimes the Instance Name textbox just stops working and you can no longer add/change instance names.
36 Post forum thread on the Adobe forums with seemingly no response.
Had to close and reopen Flash several times to fix this. How hard is it to just make a textbox that works… everyone else seems to manage it.
Flash deleting files when it encounters a save error.
Pretty much the one thing you don’t want to happen when you activate the save command in an app.
Everyday life of the Photoshop team.
“Shall we add some useful new features in this version? Perhaps Lazy Mouse or incremental undo for brush strokes?”
“Nah lets add 3D, that’ll be REALLY useful.”
Every time I use the brush tool in Photoshop I wish for both lazy mouse and incremental undo… and every time I’m reminded they squandered time and money on the useless 3D feature.
And this is coming from someone who has tried to use the 3D feature and even suggested it as a solution to problems for colleges. Every time we’ve given up after an hour or so because it just plain doesn’t work.

The magic of using Flash to get out of doing interface coding properly.
