Against Apple, Ballmer Floats Microsoft Merger With Adobe
Ebbesen writes "Ballmer had a meeting with the CEO of Adobe, and among other things: 'The meeting, which lasted over an hour, covered a number of topics, but one of the main thrusts of the discussion was Apple and its control of the mobile phone market and how the two companies could partner in the battle against Apple. A possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft were among the options.' Apparently MS has courted Adobe previously, but feared anti-trust regulations. With Google and Apple gaining, Microdobe might be possible."
Microsoft and Adobe merging is an option that would increase efficiency. That way I can direct my hatred in one direction with less distraction from various evil companies.
Microdobe might be possible
I think they meant Microbe (pronounced my-CROW-bee). If you had some of that in your coffee that'll make you puke like a pro.
Imagine the power of Microsoft's experience in insecure bloat, and Adobes undisputed skill in...owning Flash, we can look forward to bloated, insecure flash.
Wait, what?
This is horrifiyng news. What would happen to Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign?
They would all get 'ribbons' and Clippy.
I just vomited in my coffee.

It looks like you're trying to edit that spring break photo with that guy you thought was a chick.
Would you like help?
Someday we'll hit the human carrying capacity. And the band will just play on.
Flash for Linux and OS X will be replaced with twenty megabytes worth of infinite loops. Linux and Mac magazines will remark how the new Flash is more stable while offering the same level of performance as before.

No, it's Flashlight.
Sorry, what?
Microbee? Didn't you die in the '80s?
