Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 3D, and Full Frame?

adobeThinkSecret busts out another rumor, this time on Adobe and a trio of possible future releases. First up are some juicy tidbits about the next incarnation of Photoshop. Or should I say incarnations? Following in the brilliant footsteps of Macromedia (who'd a thunk?), the next version of CS may come in Standard and Premium editions. Personally, I hate the fact that Flash now comes in two flavors. Why not just create a seperate, truly beginner-level app? Was Elements really that bad? Oh, yeah, it was.

Anyway, according to the article, CS3 will boast a slew of killer new features. Rumors of a rotatable canvas ala Painter (for tablet users), better non-destructive image editing, and a revamped interface are mentioned. There's also talk of more advanced perspective and sorta 3d-related tools... Which brings us to the another rumored product: Acrobat 3D.

Acrobat 3D has scant few details, but might be a sort of "all purpose" 3D image viewer. The cost is supposedly upwards of $1,000! The last product, Full Frame, has no info but the box cover. Huh. I'm still waiting for Adobe to do something with Atmosphere again...

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
