Just a few moments ago, Adobe’s CTO Kevin Lynch took the stage at their annual MAX conference and explained the company’s Creative Cloud strategy. Part of that announcement is very big news for us: Typekit has been acquired by Adobe.
Adobe is making some big moves. As a TypeKit user, I hope the service stays the same (and the same price). As an enterprise user, I hope this doesn’t blow budgets.
If you’re reduced to giving away a Galaxy Tab with the purchase of a washer/dryer set, you smack of desperation.
Ha-ha.
Someone pinch me. This is nuts.
I saw $4,000+ bottles. I didn’t touch, but I sure looked.
The lede:
Samples of amber in western Canada containing feathers from dinosaurs and birds have yielded the most complete story of feather evolution ever seen.

This combines my two favorite things: the Baltimore Ravens and Technology. Alas, my favorite team was the second in the NFL to adapt, but the specs on their custom Playbook app seems pretty beefy:
The Ravens’ biggest challenge was security of sensitive information.
But they’ve taken considerable measures to ensure the playbook stays in-house. If a user gets their password wrong three times, the iPad is wiped clean. There are also “time bombs” that can erase a playbook after each game.
What’s more, Megan McLaughlin, Executive Assistant to the Coaching Staff, controls what gets uploaded to the cloud and can remotely delete anything.
“My biggest worry was someone intercepting it through a download,” said Fusee. “We’re using 256-bit encryption, which is Department of Defense level.”
It’s like an Apple commercial, but with more tech support.
