I feel bad posting bad stuff about Adobe being as they’ve just launched 2 really cool things:
Buzzword.com is an amazing online word processor (the export functions are dead tight and you could almost survive without MS Word), and Photoshop Express (the free online Photoshop version) is pretty cool as well.
So those are good things. Here’s the bad thing…
I was looking to upgrade Photoshop Elements (on my MacBook I don’t need anything more powerful). When I got to the checkout of the UK online store I selected the ‘download’ option rather than the ‘ship me a box’ option AND THE PRICE WENT UP!
Getting the box sent costs £45…
Downloading it costs £47…
Why on earth would that ever make sense to anyone? It doesn’t make sense to a consumer. It doesn’t make sense to a business surely? And it certainly doesn’t make sense to the planet.
Unless the fundamental laws of atom shifting have changed while I wasn’t looking.
