Adobe AIR

Another software was developed by Adobe, and developers have engaged so much effort in using the software, in order to increase market value, especially in advertising. The Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), helps developers to create, manage and improve their applications, on their own desktops, may it be online or offline. For developers, applications contribute to the success of the website, and of the product or service itself. Hence, they have put so much effort in making user-friendly, environment-wise, and advertising quality for their customers. And because applications are not so easy to do, they are looking for ways to make applications that would not take so much time and money in developing. With this, Adobe, as it is known to provide multiedia services, has developed such application making tool, that is integrated through the developer's own desktop.

Some of the companies who are using Adobe AIR are: AOL, eBay, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., The New York Times Company, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group’s Nick.com, Sharp Corporation and many more.

Adobe Audition 3

From the well-known creators and developers of media editting and enhancements, here comes another product (actually another new version) from Adobe. Taken account of its success on Adobe Photoshop CS3, the Adobe Audition also receive a lot of reviews and yet another sastisfying customer feedbacks, right after its release last year, 2007. However, for some amateur audio editors, it seems to be difficult to use, since they said that it's "too professional", and that there are some controls that can't be understood easily. But, as other amateur users said, the application is cool, so guess learning a bit of it would make it more easy to handle.

HP Blackbird 002: Gamer's Desktop PC

Personally, I am a gamer, nor have I been addicted (i guess not really spending too much on games) to games, ever in my life. However, since one of the coolest stuff are game accessories and game consoles, I am still interested to know more about gaming. This time, I was really interested on what most gamers would want their Desktop PCs would be. So, I was looking for some available Desktop PCs that could somehow satisfy a gamer's appetite. I stumbled on HP's website, and I have found out that they have something for gamers, and that's HP Blackbird 002, a gamer's PC. Although I'm not a gamer, I was shocked on the specifications and features of the HP Blackbird 002. Imagine, six PC slots, six-way air flow (that beats an ordinary PC's cooling mechanism), a hard disk range of 160GB - 1TB! (available options), Creative Audio Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeGamer for audio, up to 4GB of Memory, and a way-too-cool black design system unit! See these pictures:

Sony Ericsson and Microsoft: XPERIA X1

I was searching for a new topic on this blog when I decided to go to Sony Eriksson’s website. There, I saw Sony Ericsson’s new phone, it was the XPERIA X1. I took a moment to look into its specifications and features, and I was interested because it’s like a handheld PC, but it’s thin and it’s all black, which made it attractive. Then, today, I was looking into Microsoft’s site, when I dropped into the news about Microsoft and Sony Ericsson collaborating. After reading the article, I realized that it was Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Now I know why it seems to have a Microsoft Windows environment. Imagine, two best-known companies collaborated, how interesting this product seems to be.
