Adobe Creative Cloud Services Offline (Again?)
New submitter jvp (27996) writes "Adobe's authentication system for its Creative Cloud as well as its website services is down, and has been since Wednesday (14 May) afternoon. What this means: If you're a Creative Cloud subscriber, you can't log into your account via the desktop application. Online services such as the fonts are not available. Applications (eg: Photoshop, Premiere, etc) will continue to work. Softpedia has a nice article on it, but their time frames are off quite a bit." As of this writing, a message on the Adobe Creative Cloud page says "Creative Cloud is currently undergoing maintenance. Please check back later. Thank you for your patience." Even though I've come to like some remote-hosted software, like gmail, I don't think I'd want tools for manipulating local media tied even loosely to the uptime of a remote computer (or network connection).
If it takes them that long to fix this, then they are truly, completely, and absolutely incompetent...
Adobe, incompetent? I wasn't aware that there was any doubt about that?
Here's a link that could be interesting to those affected:

If Pandora's box is destined to be opened, *I* want to be the one to open it.
That's the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. In the event of a catastrophic event that could upset the lives of millions where will my InDesign layouts. When I rise from my bunker I'm going to still have trusty CS6 and those Creative Cloud subscribers are going to starve.
Damn you Blizzard! I pay a subscription, you're down again and... oh wait. nm
