Bye Bye, Macromedia
Adobe has bought Macromedia. According to CNET, the corporation is now set to move into handhelds and other gadgets.
Bewildering.
Adobe is famous for its proprietary PDF format (which I must say loads slower than my grandmother running 2.4km) and Photoshop (... 4.8 km). Macromedia is famous for Flash and Dreamweaver. Sounds like a conglomerate merger to me really. Unless we are talking about the less popular, cannot-make-it software like Fireworks, Freehand and GoLive. I can't see how the merger lets them bash into the handheld communications market though.
Macromedia needs to be more user-friendly and stable. Adobe needs to branch out (and reduce software loading time dammit). It'd be nice to have one entire suite of quality web authoring products. Software pirates can soon get everything in one convenient download. Snigger.
