Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 3D, and Full Frame?

ThinkSecret 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...

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I have been waiting for Photoshop to add text on paths for a while now so hopefully they will add that to the next major release. I know there are plug-ins to do this and I could just import it from Illustrator but I would really like to see this feature in Photoshop natively.
I haven't used Elements since 1.x and even then I was just testing it because I got a free copy with my digital camera but I thought it was a pretty decent package for basic users and have recommended it to many people.

Twist,
Unless I'm misunderstanding the functionality, text-on-a-path is already available in CS2.

Text on paths was available in CS and is in CS2.
You draw a path using the pen tool, then select the text tool. When you place the cursor over the path the cursor changes. Click, and you can type on the path.
Personally, I would like CS3 to come in a 64-bit version.
