I wrote about my gripes of Windows v OS X yesterday. It's great and all
for the operating system to conform to your way of working and/or
expectations, but what happens when applications start going their own
way? Adobe seems to be the main culprit at making up new UI schemes,
because of trying to bridge their applications to two OS platforms. In
making their lives at porting easy, they've made some users unhappy.
I've purposely avoid Microsoft applications on my OS X machines. After
looking at the screen captures at today's link, I'll do the same with
Adobe. Plus, it's another reason to hate Flash. Is that thing dead
yet?http://adobegripes.tumblr.com/

The Programmatic Programmers are offering an iPhone development workshop. I would love to go. I doubt I will. I don’t even write code. That’s so sad.

I don’t think I have to remind you guys that today is “Talk like a pirate day.”
Speaking of which, a game programmer, asked the intrawebs about why some people pirate his games. He’s got a rundown on many of the saner reasons, and he’s got solutions to some of the critiques of his games and their cost. He’s trying to fix it, so that they aren’t pirated. As much. Good luck. Hope to hear from you in a year about how those changes worked.
Avast, keel haul ’em!
