Here’s a highly detailed look into the upcoming release of the next version of Adobe Photoshop. Good information and good screenshots.
The people on the product team for Photoshop haven’t been getting much sleep. We can only imagine how much Red Bull and coffee they consumed in the process of taking Photoshop CS2 to CS3, which Adobe released as a downloadable public beta back in December. The biggest cause for celebration - at least for creatives who bought new Macs in the last year or so - is that Photoshop CS3 runs natively on Intel-based Macs. And, of course, it won’t come as a surprise to anyone if, once Photoshop CS3 ships, Apple sees a spike in sales of Mac Pros and MacBook Pros.
Turns out that Google Maps is having trouble with spelled-out number (first, second, fourth), that is, instead of “701 First Avenue”, “701 1st Avenue” will work when finding Yahoo! on Google Maps.
Cisco and Apple today announced that they have resolved their dispute involving the “iPhone” trademark.
Hostilities broke out between the two companies last month, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the music phone at the annual Macworld convention in San Francisco. Cisco claimed that it had owned the trademark since 2000 and was using it for a line of Internet-connected phones.
Under the agreement, both companies are free to use the “iPhone” trademark on their products throughout the world.
In a joint statement, both companies said they are free to use the “iPhone” trademark on their products throughout the world, and each side will dismiss any pending actions regarding the trademark. In addition, Cisco and Apple will explore opportunities for interoperability in the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.
Google is staffing up its new Manhattan offices with some 500 employees. Why is the Internet giant making the Big Apple its second home? Proximity to Madison Avenue and the media giants is only part of the answer. New York City is emerging or re-emerging as a hot tech center. Read more
Microsoft has taken all possible steps to protect their latest and most advanced OS. Still all efforts are turning out in vain as according to reports the operating system is already been cracked by some Iranian hackers.
Microsoft has taken all possible steps to protect their latest and most advanced OS. Still all efforts are turning out in vain as according to reports the operating system is already been cracked by some Iranian hackers.
These hackers have managed to present the “fully-cracked” version of the operating system.
The pirated version is presented by an Iranian Software company and also has the possibility for its owner to have a legal serial number of the OS. With the legal serial number the users can easily activate the OS from Microsoft’s web site and enjoy all the benefits of buying a Pirated Original version of the OS.
Still better is the cost of the pirated version. While the original version of the OS is selling for around $650 you can easily get your hands to this pirated version for just $8. I don’t think this is the response that Microsoft expected from their ‘Most Advanced Operating System’.

Reports are coming in from Germany that Google.de was down “for many hours” yesterday. We’re trying to confirm the reason, but it appears to be because Google forgot to renew the Google.de domain name. It expired and someone registered it. While the site was down the site showed a standard domain name registrar parked page.
Some interesting comments on this topic from other blogs:
How did the site that parked the domain give in so easily…I would have expected an attempt to make a fortune out of this situation. Or is it possible?
I find this crazy. How can Google with so many domains in its control, not have a robust system of renewals? How can the registrar having Google as a client, not alert Google on phone, in case email did not work?
