Adobe releases Acrobat 8, previews Photoshop CS3

Adobe AcrobatAdobe recently previewed its new Photoshop CS3 product at the Photoshop World conference. There aren't too many details available on it yet, except that it will have Macromedia technology of some sort integrated with existing Adobe technologies. Adobe also starting taking pre-orders for Acrobat 8 (should ship in mid-November) as part of the Creative Suite 2.3 package. Some new features of Acrobat 8 Pro are:
  • Easy PDF creation (is that really a NEW feature?)
  • Scan to PDF with OCR
  • Convert email to PDF
  • Capture website to PDF
  • Create PDF/A and PDF/X documents
  • Combine files from multiple apps
  • Managed shared reviews with comment tracking and printing
  • Password and permissions
  • Use digital signatures
  • Protect attachments with 128-bit encryption
  • Form templates and auto-filed recognition
Adobe can only benefit by letting Macromedia technology seep into every crack of its already killer software. The two companies both have the best stuff out there in many respects, so it will be good see how this "two are better than one" idea plays out.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
