Classification As Spyware Not Far Behind

Adobe Jumps The Shark, Reader's
Classification As Spyware Not Far Behind 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

I'm not working from a Windows box as much as I used to these days, so maybe I'm a little too blissfully isolated from the sheer volume of crap that most of you put up with from your computer each day.

Tonight, though, I was working from my wife's PC at home, and I fired up Adobe Reader (The Reader Formerly Known As Acrobat) to look at a PDF. I've become accustomed to the annoying popup window in the last few versions that remind you of "important updates", and I saw this:

What the crap, man?! Since when is Photoshop Album an "Update" to Reader?! And Yahoo Toolbar?! They've co-opted the at least (dubiously) useful update program to shill their crap.

Don't get me wrong. I think Photoshop Album is probably the best photo management program available today. In fact, I already have the full version installed, which makes the update suggestion even more idiotic.

It's insane to dilute the interface with this sort of garbage. I will now dismiss anything that ever appears in the update list as marketing BS, which means that the update system is now broken because I'll never use it. Even if it wasn't, the popup window was a horrible way to notify for updates anyway. Firefox's subtle icon in the toolbar is a far better way to handle this.

As an app, Reader should be basically invisible. The ultimate goal of the app should be that, whenever I click on a PDF, it starts instantly and immediately displays me that PDF in a manner that's optimal for onscreen reading, and provides just a few simple tools that I might need. Anything else is serving Adobe, not me, and that makes the app less valuable. The splash screen is lame, and the popup update notice is asinine. Adding other apps to the software update notice is "Pulling a RealPlayer".

Canto announced on Thursday that Cumulus 6.0.3 is immediately available for the myCumulus, Single User, Workgroup and Enterprise editions of the digital asset management software.

Canto also noted several performance enhancements in Cumulus 6.0.3, including faster opening of catalogs or collections, a cache for quick reloading of the last pages viewed, a new sorting button, changes to the Preview window, a new Photo Suite option that brings in support for RAW image files and more.

If you depend on Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign documents to fill your Web pages, GoLive CS is an invaluable tool for accelerating the Web-development process. But while the program offers many advanced features for building and managing Web sites, its lackluster support for current CSS techniques and its sometimes complex and overwhelming interface are serious drawbacks.

One reader's solution to a back-up
problem 06/26/2004 04:47 AM
Last week I told you a tale of woe about a network manager who, in attempting to upgrade his hardware managed to cause himself huge problems with NDS. Of course, the easiest way to preserve NDS during a hardware upgrade is to remove it entirely from the server to be upgraded and then push out a new replica from the master once the upgrade is completed. But when your network only has one server (as does the one in question), you can't do that. Or can you?

Reader's Circle: An Online Directory for Book Clubs and Reading Groups
http://readerscircle.org/in dex.html

If you've been looking for a way to connect with book-related groups, this is it. Reader's Circle is a free online directory for book clubs and reading groups. Anyone may post a listing or search for a group by zip code - all for free. But now to introduce the concept of a reader's circle. A reader's circle is a social gathering where people can drop in with whatever they're reading and share in open conversation among other readers with similar interests. Participants simply bring something they're reading or have recently read, and conversation goes from there. The intent is to loosen the usual format so participants can select their own reading and attend meetings even if they're still in the middle of a book. Conversation inevitably covers the books brought and many other subjects as well. Another feature of reader's circles is that there are three basic types: 1) Academic Reader's Circles - for serious study of a particular subject, 2) Civic Reader's Circles - serving as an informal public forum, and 3) Social Reader's Circles - primarily for getting to know people, but organized around a subject none the less; frequently an age range is also specified. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
