There has been some discussion since Adobe announced their new Creative Suite 3 products on the differences in pricing for non-US countries. Adobe tells us that the pricing models for countries outside of the US are controlled by the local Adobe office to a degree.
Now I have nothing against the new Creative Suite itself. From what I have seen in the previews and demonstrations, it seems to be worth the United States upgrade price. But how does this compare to previous upgrades? How do the prices in Australia compare to the prices in the US. Are Australian’s being ripped off by Adobe Australia? This is what I’m going to be examining here in detail.
Well it’s been a little too long since this blog felt the cool breeze on its skin, and the warm caress of the sun on its tags. So its time shed those outer layers and enjoy the freedom this site was born with, a naked body.
No style, no design, just the raw information. April 5th is the Annual CSS Naked Day. On this day this site will be without any style. This is all in an effort to promote web standards and good semantic markup. Its a day when web sites can show us what they are made of, the raw unstyled information.
It’s an age-old problem, we see it all the time, the Public Relations branch verses Information Technology branch. They just will not see eye to ee. Meetings between the two groups are often polite at best. It’s like they are from different planets. Marketing verses the Technies. But does it spill over into the web industry. Seeing as most of us work very closely with the Techie crowd and the Marketing people as well. So does it apply, do we have our own great divide. You know:
- Designers, those communicative, arty types hate the IT Developer geeks.
