Software, Technology, Videoon July 1st, 2010No Comments

Adobe are about to launch something that only Adobe could come up with. AMDM – Adobe Museum of Digital Media is the latest release brainstorm by Adobe Inc. Appropriately, the digital world is about to get it’s own platform that will showcase how digital media is used (and bent) with the Adobe Master Suite, and some extremely ingenious uses of the products we use as developers every day.

Check it out, there is a prelude video, and the announcement of the first Digital Media Artist: Tony Ourlser, a truly incredible Digital Artist, the showcase of his work speaks for itself.

What can we say? Except Finally, a return to the original MK roots! Check out this promo Video for the prelaunch of Mortal Kombat.  The return of Fatalities is just the best news since …well…MK3 showcased on PS1 and Super NES.

The Arena’s of old make a welcomed returned, but tuned up to look how they should have looked had the technology been available 15 years ago.

Now, if only Ed Boone would bring back SubZero of MK3 Fame, then I would be one happy Kombatant.

The main feature being “Multitasking”.

6 days to Abobe CS 5

New, Photoshop, Software, Technologyon April 6th, 2010No Comments

From what we have seen on the web, CS5 is probably one of the most anticipated releases from Adobe to date. Some of the editing features in Photoshop alone are breath-taking, pretty much what we have wanted for years will now be possible in the new Suite. Major differences: Flash as a stand alone app is no more. Flash Catalyst replaces what used to be Flash CS, and Flex 4 is now the main thrust behind Flashes online delivery Engine. More about this on a separate post.
