If you were hooked up to your computer yesterday, you might've noticed that Adobe apparently released Creative Suite 2 to the public for free. I say apparently, because it turns out that although Adobe stuck the install files and serial numbers on the internet for anyone with an Adobe account to see and download, it apparently didn't want to have a big software give-away -- even though it would've actually been a really good idea.

Adobe's giving us all a late Christmas present. You can grab yourself a free, legitimate copy of Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite 2, right now, direct from Adobe. No catch. Read More >>
Yeah, you read that right. I just received an interesting email from Brightcove (the video delivery guys) about issues with their Flash based solution and Windows 8 running the new Internet Explorer 10. Read More >>
With Adobe's Flash Player for Android currently in its final death throes, the BBC needs a new way of letting Android users access its Flash-based mobile video streams. Which is what the new BBC Media Player app is. Read More >>
Last we heard, Adobe was pulling the plug on Flash for Android by taking the player application out of Google Play, but after a bit of pressure from British "strategic partners", Adobe has done a quick 180 and popped it back in the UK store. For how much longer, is the next question, as Adobe has said that the plug-in would be removed "soon". Read More >>

Love it or hate it, the humble PDF is everywhere in our "paperless" society. It's not exactly the easiest of formats to actually work with though, unless you're just printing something in a virtual form. According to Microsoft it's a "roach motel for data". Read More >>

The best way to ensure that professionals are using your software is to get users hooked when they're young. That's why most software packages have an educational discount, and why Adobe has just introduced a plugin that turns learning Photoshop into a game. Read More >>
As well as abandoning its Android Flash Player, Adobe's now announced plans to actively shut it down and stop it working on uncertified phones and tablets. And as Adobe's no longer developing Flash or certifying devices, that means no more Flash for any new Android devices from now on. Read More >>

Remember when Adobe said the only way to fix a recently discovered Photoshop CS5.5 vulnerability was to upgrade to CS6?

Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 was released about a year ago. CS6 is out now, but with 5.5 barely being a year old, anyone who bought it could safely expect Adobe to keep it up to date for a while, right? Not so much. Read More >>
