Adobe Universal Binaries... in 2007

    So much for LightTable destroying Aperture!

    Actually, LightTable is the exception. They announced they will have a beta of it available shortly. Now if only Apple would release a competitor to Photoshop, Illustrator, and Framemaker maybe they'd come out with new versions of those products as well.

  2. Quit yer whining! by maggard · · Score: 4, Informative
    1. Apple has ALWAYS made it clear their move to Intel would be in stages.
    2. Apple has ALWAYS said it would be done from their lower-end products to their upper-end.
    3. The iMac is Apple's entry-level product.
    4. Therefore the iMac being iNtelicized first is in line with Apple's announced plans.
    5. With the iMac being Apple's entry-level consumer product it doesn't have a large professional user base.
    6. Therefore professionals, who have large investments in hardware and software, are unlikely to be affected by the Intel transition until it reaches the products they use: The Professional-level Macs like the G5 line.
    7. So Adobe not shipping Universal Binary products for their professional level until the professional grade hardware is ready is surprising to who?
    Seriously, if you're appalled that Adobe et al aren't shipping Universal Binaries right away only means you haven't been paying attention. If you really are a professional photographer or someone who honestly depends on these type products you'd have to have been comatose the past year not to be well aware of all of this.

    Instead what I hear are a buncha wannebe-geeks who went out 'n bought the newest and shiniest and are now whining because they chose to ignore what anyone with half a clue woulda and most likely did tell 'em. You shelled out over a grand for a new product and couldn't be bothered to find out if the software you want to run on it actually would anytime soon.

    Get the hell off /., I'm sure there's some support chat group out there for you on AOL somewhere. Try keyword "12:00-Flasher"

    Frankly I just hope there is someone out there clubbing you monkeys over the head with instructions on how to use a contraceptive.
