Yeah, Liese, I want to know what's going to happen after 3 months.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can get a Galaxy Tab with a SIM and plug in the same headphone you'd use with your phone--my sister uses Google Voice and VOIP to have an American phone number in Jamaica, and she's in heaven with her Toshiba Thrive, which doesn't even have a SIM.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Adobe abandons Creative Suite, announces Creative Cloud.
anyone with a CS 3 or later serial number will get their first Creative Cloud year for $29.99 per month. For everyone else, the complete version of Creative Cloud will set you back $49.99 per month, or you can purchase a single app subscription for $19.99 per month.
Does this mean that you have to store your data in the cloud? I mean, a lot of companies wouldn't want their assets being stored with a third party, and in some cases, might be legally prevented from doing so. And there are a lot of freelancers who do work for companies in direct competition with each other, and need to keep their documents strictly segregated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
WTF? Adobe was campaigning HARD for the professional post market after FCX was such a disaster, and now this?
If I have to relearn Media Composer, I'm going to be pretty cranky.

I think this means no more Adobe for me, because I get the web designer's cast offs. Unfortunately what it means for me is going back to Microsoft Publisher.

Does this mean that you have to store your data in the cloud?
I was forced to the Creative Cloud after last year's hard drive crash. I couldn't install my most recent version of Dreamweaver because I was missing one of the versions in the chain of updates. Mind you, I had paid for that chain of updates. Adobe takes the position that Macromedia never existed and Macromedia's data, including software licenses, went up in smoke when it bought the company. I found a cheaper introductory rate for a year, and after that, I'll have to figure out what I want to do.
The data does not have to stored online, and you can use the programs offline. The programs expire in some mysterious way, though. I'll have to figure that one out too.

Does this mean that you have to store your data in the cloud?
To the best of my knowledge, all it means is that the software becomes subscription-based. Rather than paying for it up front and it's yours forever, you'll need to pay a monthly fee.
Still very sucky, though.

Why can't you keep using what you have?

Also, I can't get to Astrid today. I had some weird connectivity problems a minute ago and had to release and renew my dhcp leases. Is it a vestige from that, or is it actually down? If it's actually down, I am looking askance at Yahoo.
