Another argument in favor of geeks and nerds

Just like my fellow geeks out there, I love Google Maps. But Andru Edwards over at Gear Live shows a use for this great Web Application that I never even thought of before.

Adobe Needs Attention

Today while working I was trying to open a PDF file from my development site, and my browser locked-up on me. While I am developing, I usually have a lot of applications running and a lot of windows open, so I missed a dialog telling me to turn on automatic updates for Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.

Now I have to admit, I have been very happy with this release of Acrobat. It has proven itself to be fast and light weight when opening a PDF document, and has been flawless at opening within the browser. But this bugged me. Luckily humor saved the day when Adobe’s little update utility popped up with the following (un-edited I swear) dialog.

Adobe Needs Attn...

Ahhh… isn’t that sweet. It just needed a little attention…

Least common denominator browser (Jim Carson -> July 08, 2005, 255 words)

Jim Carson in this post Least common denominator browser (Jim Carson -> July 08, 2005, 255 words) identifies a definate problem on the internet even after IE7 is released. Looks like even good news for IE7 can end up not-so-good. :-(
