Retail Stores Trying Software Kiosks...
Again

Retail Stores Trying Software Kiosks...
Again 12/16/2003 04:14 PM
About five years ago, I was involved in a project looking at software kiosks for retail stores. The idea was that a shopper could walk up to the kiosk, select from a bunch of software titles, and the machine would pop out a receipt. Meanwhile, a second machine in the back of the store would get to work burning a CD and related artwork (and, potentially, manuals). This way, the thinking went, any software store (or, really, any store) could hold millions of software titles. However, the more I looked into it, the less exciting the idea became. First, it was just a few years before that the music industry had tried the same sort of thing - putting such kiosks in retail shops. Those kiosk had proven to be a huge failure. They broke down constantly - as publicly pounded machines are known to do. The maintenance fees were ridiculous. They also tied up customers. Depending on how many of these (somewhat expensive) kiosks you had, only one customer could use them at a time - and the process of finding the software you want is time consuming. If they want to sit at a machine and buy some software, they'll do it online at home. So, it's a bit surprising to read this article in USA Today talking about just such a software kiosk at CompUSA and suggesting that it will change the way software is sold. If anything, conditions for these sorts of machines have gotten much worse since when I was looking at them. The software retail business is much less appealing. Fewer and fewer people buy boxed software products. Computers come with much of what you need and you can download most everything else. In the few instances where boxed software is needed, many people just order online to have it shipped. The fact is that there are only a very few boxed software products that sell - so the number of items that will actually sell from such a kiosk are fairly limited - and won't have very much margin. Furthermore, the trend is clear that an increasing number of software applications are moving online to be web-based applications, rather than local applications. I honestly had to double check the date on the USA Today article to make sure it wasn't from five or six years ago when lots of people were talking about this same idea. Why they suddenly believe that everyone is going to use such a device is beyond me.

Macromedia lie - no! Really!

Macromedia lie - no! Really! 07/20/2004 07:46 PM

It seems that my former company is up to their typical hijinks. What's amusing about this - is that it comes from O'Reilly Net - and Tim O'Reilly is on Macromedia's board.

Do they think they're just being coy, tricky or just enjoy coming off looking foolish? Hard to say.....

Either way - it sticks to their horrible reputation - which seems to be carefully coddled and replenished with each stupid announcement, deal and product acquisition.

Here's the post from Slashdot.....

Robin Berjon writes "Macromedia recently announced that its latest version of Flash Lite (a limited Flash for mobile devices) was to support SVG Tiny 1.1, and support it fully (though no one has yet been able to verify that assertion). For a moment, the Web community wondered if they might be playing nice at last, after yielding to massive pressure from the mobile market to support W3C and 3GPP standards, or if they simply meant to use SVG as a trojan to get Flash into mobile devices. A n article freshly published on Macromedia's web site clearly makes the case that they're after the latter, speading as much FUD as possible along the way. Thankfully, Antoine Quint decided to respond in a brief O'Reilly Net article in which he debunks Macromedia's marketing lies one by one, and expands on the wondrous features of SVG Tiny 1.1 and the shortly upcoming SVG Tiny 1.2 that make people drool before their mobile phones."

[Slashdot]

Back to Marc....

Have I apoloigized to the collective whole for coming up with that lock-in strategy in the first place? Little did I realize how horrible it would become and how these caretakers would usurp the world I dreamed of creating.

Oh well - they're all going to hell. Me - I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make up for that mistake.

Adobe + Macromedia = ?

Adobe + Macromedia = ? 04/18/2005 09:21 PM

Seems straightforward to me. Adobe is in at the center of print production (PhotoShop & friends, InDesign, PDF), while Macromedia’s DreamWeaver is the single most important Web-design product. Dave Shea says this might be about Flash, but let me suggest exactly the opposite: if you’re hitching your career to Flash, it might be a good time to look at alternatives. Why’s that? Because, near as I can tell, Macromedia has never made any serious money with Flash. They’ve accomplished one of the great, heroic, marketing coups of all time, getting the plug-in onto substantially every desktop on the planet; and this bought them, uh, what exactly? They sell authoring tools, but seriously, how many Flash designers does the world need? Anyhow, most of the good things you can do with Flash, you can do about as well with DHTML (oops that’s called AJAX now) and your “back” button still works. I guess there’s no reason to actually shut Flash down, the tool revenue must about cover the engineering costs. But Adobe, historically, has been good at focusing on what works and dropping the distractions. (Can you remember PageMill?) Flash is a distraction.

Adobe to buy Macromedia I almost choked when I saw this press release, Adobe is going to buy out Macromedia for $3.4 billion in stock. Adobe is paying about $9 over the current share price, which means the investors will make out nicely. With the two largest design software companies becoming one, the new Adobe will be a monopoly (if it isn't already with Photoshop). I just hope they remove the ability to make really annoying Flash movies...

Adobe to buy Macromedia!

Adobe to buy Macromedia! 04/18/2005 04:25 AM
A blockbuster sized story just broke--Macromedia will be bought out by graphics giant Adobe. Between the two companies, nearly 100% of people in the design industry use at least one of their products. The $3.4 billion deal has been approved by execs from both companies. Here are the specs:

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by both boards of directors, Macromedia stockholders will receive, at a fixed exchange ratio, 0.69 shares of Adobe common stock for every share of Macromedia common stock in a tax-free exchange. Based on Adobe's and Macromedia's closing prices on Friday, April 15, 2005, this represents a price of $41.86 per share of Macromedia common stock. Upon the close of the transaction, Macromedia stockholders will own approximately 18 percent of the combined company on a pro forma basis.

Shares of Macromedia [MACR] closed at $33.45 Friday, making Adobe's bid a large premium. The real story here is the massive market share Adobe will control in the creative industry. Besides video and out of date print publishing, they have it wrapped up. What are your thoughts? Sound off! (Personally I thought I read the headline wrong...)
