ADOBE!!! STOP!!!

The news is Adobe is moving to Creative Cloud only. Want a new version of Photoshop, well cough up $20-$50/month by annual contract now!
This is awesome for businesses. But sucks for freelancers.

This is obviously a sneaky way to bring in new customers and stop pirating of their software. This trend is kinda annoying. I was all for it when SimCity came out but SimCity is game not a Designer’s bread and butter. Guess what, now when you travel, better hope you have internet.

On top of that Adobe puts out their new stylus pen, Project Mighty. An incredibly laggy and lame approach to drawing on a tablet. It’s a kid’s toy, what designer would take that seriously?

Poor Myspace.

I want to love you again Myspace. But I don’t think you’ll be able to recover this time. You’re no different than the windows phone at this point. Why drag out this miserable death. Justin you should’ve changed the name from Myspace to something else, so no one would relate it to the disaster that it is. Those impressive stats (picture above) mean nothing now.

Cobra Commander needs your help!

Kickstarter is an amazing service! It’s not the easiest service to get approved for funding though, as I’ve tried and failed a couple times.

But during these hard times, even bigger groups need funding and kickstarter decided to help them! Click Here for their Kickstarter page.

All Hail COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Chromebook Pixel available now!

Google has started selling their new Chromebook Pixel at $1299. Yikes that’s a lot for a Chromebook. What justifies the high cost? Well premium parts, Gorilla Glass multi-touchscreen, Intel i5 chip, 32GB or 64GB solid state drive, Backlit keyboard and the fact they could sell on it “sale” for $999 in a few months?
So far on paper it really doesn’t seem to cutting edge for that $1300 price tag. Maybe you just need to experience it if you are lucky enough to have already received your Chromebook or try testing it out at your local best buy that has it available in-store. Click here to view the description on the Pixel and which best buy stores have it available.

For me, a computer that can only operate Google Chrome OS is only worth $199. Luckily the Acer C7 Chromebook is just the right price with the perfect specs. Give it time folks, it will get better. Plus with the announcement of Google retail stores coming soon, their products department will surely increase in size, demand and quality.

The New SimCity Coming March 5th 2013!

It’s been a long time since I’ve played SimCity. A very long time! SimCity is now in its 6th release. I got my hands on the closed beta 2nd round and boy is it fun. My short time with SimCity showcased some amazing visuals and gameplay. I just know I’m going to spend long hours playing the game. Best of all… No more placing electrical lines! I told you I haven’t played in a long time!
