Smart vs. Dumb
Oracle is smart in buying out InnoDB. They would be even smarter if: they hand it out for free or very cheap, which would undercut MS SQLServer, and the increasingly ambitious MySQL. They would be even smarter if they give it a decent UI and made it quick to setup and use. That means no crappy Java UIs.
Adobe are dumb. It would be ok, for Adobe, if the world had stopped a couple of years ago. Unfortunately for Adobe it has not. Microsoft are out to get PDF with Metro. It surely must be one of the ironies of nature that one of the best applications in the world, i.e. Photoshop, happens to be made by the same company that gave birth to the steaming pile of crap that is Reader. Kill it. I’ve been using the free Foxit Reader. It works great and downloads quickly.
