Adobe and Microsoft Have Secret Meeting

Did anyone hear about the secret meeting that Microsoft and Adobe had, discussing ways of overcoming Apple in the mobile phone market?

A possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft were among the options.

I for one, would HATE to see Adobe be purchased by Microsoft (and so would Google) as Flash is used by 98% of the World's desktop users and I'm positive they would eventually drop Linux support and integrate with SilverLight. And let's not even bring up Photoshop and how the chances of it being ported to Linux will be zero.

I suggest you read the article as it's important to the future of the desktop.

I updated brettalton.com to reflect the following changes:

  • Added profile for TrentBookSwap.com, a book swapping website made for my University
  • Added TrentBookSwap.com and YourHealthCheck.org to the homepage
  • Removed the older FlyingColourCorp profile
  • For Ubuntu users, it uses the new 'Ubuntu' font-face. Backup is 'Droid Sans' followed by 'Tahoma'. The font-face was previously 'Helvetica Neue', which I'm sure not a lot of people own
  • Updated logo slighty
  • Updated the 'About Me' page with a new desktop photo, updated text and updated 'Recommended' links
  • Added my github link to Ubuntu Assistant and rsync over ssh

Next up? Redesign!
