Adobe Acquiring Macromedia on December 3, 2005
dennison_uy writes "Adobe Systems Incorporated and Macromedia, Inc. today announced they have either received or been notified they will receive all regulatory clearances necessary to complete Adobe's pending acquisition of Macromedia. The companies expect to close the transaction on December 3, 2005. Does this mean the end for Fireworks and Freehand?"
that it means the end of flash..
God how I despise flash. I wish they would outlaw it.
That BS with the built in camera, microphone and other nasty little features just add to my hatred of an already POS annoyance.
If I win the Power ball lottery I'm going to drive around and kick the ass of everyone on earth that embeds annoying ass flash content into webpages.
You don't have to wait to start using Flash 8. Just be an ass and require use of the plugin for NO extra functionality, just like everyone else.
Seems like every time I actually want to go to a site that I know uses Flash, there has to be an update. I only look at Flash in IE, since Flashblock on Firefox stopped letting Flash stuff work at all.
What really sucks is that new Google video player that requires Flash. What is wrong with the 4 other players on my PC? Winders Media Player, Quicktime, Real, Winamp.
