…or so says today's xkcd. Turns out, people have been worrying that our communications are getting more shallow and meaningless for, oh, perhaps as long as mankind has been communicating. Or at least as long as we've had any form of electronic communications at all.
Adobe's finally released their new Creative Cloud suite, the subscription-based successor to Creative Suite. It's quite the controversial upgrade due to the price and licensing changes, but if you look beyond that at the apps themselves, there's a lot to be excited about. Adobe's actually done quite a bit with most of the apps, and the new Creative Cloud installer makes installing the apps you want as simple as 1 click and 1 password entry.
Over at Mac.AppStorm, I've written up a thorough walkthrough of your Creative Cloud upgrade options and how to get your upgraded apps installed on your Mac. Take a look if you're considering upgrading to Creative Cloud.
And expect more Creative Cloud coverage coming soon. There's a lot of neat stuff in there.
Wherein I try out a new article style for AppStorm, exploring the story behind an app. First up, the 2013 Apple Design Award winning Evernote 5 — the notetaking app I've been itching to write about again after the latest updates have won my heart all over again. It's really, really good, and it's no wonder at all why Apple picked it for this year's award.
Apple just released a new prose motto, one that could almost rival "Here's to the Crazy Ones". Almost.
This is it.
This is what matters.
The experience of a product.
How it makes someone feel.
When you start by imagining
What that might be like,
You step back.
You think.
Who will this help?
Will it make life better?
Does this deserve to exist?
If you are busy making everything,
How can you perfect anything?
We don't believe in coincidence.
Or dumb luck.
There are a thousand "no's"
For every "yes."
We spend a lot of time
On a few great things.
Until every idea we touch
Enhances each life it touches.
We're engineers and artists.
Craftsmen and inventors.
We sign our work.
You may rarely look at it.
But you'll always feel it.
This is our signature.
And it means everything.
Designed by Apple in California.
