Adobe CS4

The New Adobe Creative Suite is coming. Adobe had a live conference to premier their product.
I like the new package design. Ever since Adobe and Macromedia became one, Adobe has become a cooler company.
Lets see what new features these Apps come with. There are a couple of interesting videos on Adobe TV that might be worth checking out.

Its a Folder. Its a Flash Drive. But its still a Folder.

Another great addition to the amazing items we want for the loft. It comes from the heads of Art Lebedev Studios. Simple concept, a “Folder” to put your files into. Brilliant.
No specs or details on how much memory it will hold. No info on how to buy it… But i want one!

Twitter sucks?

To Twitter or Not to Twitter? That is the question.
I’m pretty sure many of you are familiar with it, or at least heard of it. But what is it for? As Twitter themselves explains it:

Twitter is a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives. Friends near or far can use Twitter to remain somewhat close while far away. Curious people can make friends. Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless!

Ok, so you can send short updates using your mobile, IM or on the web… but what is it and what is it for? Any use for it? Most of my friends and peeps I told about it don’t tink so. But I do.
