The news just broke that Adobe is buying out Macromedia. If you have been asleep in a drawer the past 10 years, Adobe makes things like Photoshop and Illustrator and Acrobat. Macromedia makes things like Flash and Dreamweaver.

This could be really great news. The employees could pool their talent and meld the best of competing products like GoLive and Dreamweaver into a single killer app. It could also be that that killer app now costs US$1500 and your firstborn manchild. Or it could suck.

In any event, the software world just lurched on its axis. Time will tell if this will be a boon or boondoggle. For now, just watch for that fourth horseman. Or the rapture.
