There is an error in this article's title. Adobe has been selling their Creative Cloud Subscription service for over a year. It was announced in 2011 and went live in the first half of 2012.
Adobe did release a major update to their major products; so you are probably referring to 24 hours after the release of that update; not 24 hours after the release of the subscription service.
The Creative cloud Subscription includes some services; such as a dropbox like file sharing utility and integration with Behance a platform for sharing work. I assume such services are not easily 'crackable' due to their nature.
But, I'm not the least bit surprised that the desktop software was cracked, though.
Have any proof that such things happened in Watertown last month?
The one person I know in the area said it wasn't like that at all; and officers were very cordial / polite during the search. There was no forced home entry and any home search was optional.
I do something similar regarding Tweetdeck and Twitter. I created a list of news sites that I'm interested in watching. And also a list of my "50 or so" of my closest friends on twitter. I watch these two lists more than my regular feed.
How do you feel about TweetDeck going away? Have you researched / moved onto replacements, yet?
Isn't the HTML Working Group made up of only big players?
All browsers implement proprietary functionality not part the of a ratified HTML spec. Generally, what gets used becomes the standard and the spec catches up to that.
I'd argue that proprietary functionality within IE(6) was a huge win for Microsoft. Many enterprises built apps on IE6, effectively locking enterprises into IE6 and effectively killing most of the browser competition. Of course, as this happened, IE progress ceased for many years. That is bad for consumers--but was good for Microsoft.
This lack of progress paved the way for new competitors such as Firefox and Chrome.
I'm not sure if copyright would have a direct influence on innovation.
However, I can see an indirect influence on innovation if copyright is used to prevent use of research studies / papers. That way, everyone is potentially starting from scratch instead of building off the works of others.
As one example, imagine trying to connect two computers today on different sides of the country if the copyright was used to prevent folks from using the TCP/IP Protocol? I suspect our lives would be very different today.
Nothing in the quoted text actually supports the illegal actions of the journalists. It basically, says increased competition put them under pressure; which I think is fairly astute.
Oatmeal studios doesn't seem to want to prevent "The Oatmeal" from selling cards; it just wants to prevent him from doing so under a name similar to theirs.
I admit the two names are pretty similar and I can see confusion. If I'm buying greeting cards in a store; it seems unlikely I'll do a Google search to find out more details on specific companies [or not]
I used to have a dozen or so reference books right by my computer; but now it is quicker to perform a search and I dumped almost all of my paper books a few years ago.
If Microsoft is at fault; then why not other Mobile manufacterers?
This is not unique to Microsoft or the Surface. An iOS or Android device will have the same issue.
If Microsoft is "Wrong" for not advertising usable space; then why not Apple or Samsung or Motorola or [insert your favorite hardware manufacturer here?
I don't understand how any of this is "classic Microsoft fashion" though. Does XBox exhibit the same problem? I can't think of any other hardware that Microsoft sells which would be comparable.
