Creative Suite – Adobe’s flagship software package comprising “perpetual” boxed versions of design and production software such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver and InDesign – has been discontinued.
Subscription-based Creative Cloud is now the new flagship at Adobe.
Adobe CC (Creative Cloud) is the new acronym, while Adobe CS (Creative Suite) reaches the end of the line. Click to check subscription price plans.
Adobe made the announcement during its annual Adobe Max Conference in Los Angeles today.
You can still buy the current Adobe CS6 from Adobe, but the software will not get any future feature updates.
You will still get security patches and bug fixes, and Adobe has committed that CS6 will be compatible with the next major version of Windows and OS X.
Existing CS owners (especially CS6) will get aggressive discounts to entice them to move to CC.
Adobe had packaged its stable of creative and design software – together with software it had gained through its acquisition of Macromedia – as Adobe Creative Suite (CS) back in 2003.
Adobe CS is termed “perpetual” since you pay once and own it forever.
You can use it for as long as you like – barring compatibility issues, security patches and termination of bug fixes over time.
Pay S$26 per month for a single app or S$66 per month for the entire suite.
A decade on, the component software will no longer be available as part of the Creative Suite packaging.
Why Adobe recommends CC for you.
Customers will have to rent them by subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) instead.

The Synrgic Uno can be purchased from today online for US$320 (S$400) with free international shipping. The phone is designed and developed in Singapore and manufactured in Korea.
The Synrgic Uno is available from today at US$320 (S$400).
The Android 4 ICS smartphone has a 4.7-inch 16:9 S-IPS LCD (Corning Gorilla Glass) with 1280 x 720 pixels.
Market positioning
Affordably priced at S$400, the Synrgic Uno is positioned more as an entry-level smartphone amongst against the likes of Nokia’s Lumia 520, Sony Xperia L and Samsung GALAXY Express.
The specs are remarkably similar to the LG 4X HD.
It certainly does not have any pretensions to challenge flagship models such as Lumia 920, Xperia Z, HTC One and GALAXY S4.
Synrgic’s stated main markets are therefore Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and China, rather than brand-conscious Singapore.
The Synrgic Uno has an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera (capable of capturing 1080p Full HD video).
Hands on
The Synrgic Uno measures 135 x 71 x 9.5 mm and weighs only 133g with the removable 2,300 mAh Li-Po battery.

Scandinavia’s largest shoe maker ECCO celebrated its 50th anniversary by launching a new MIND line of shoes and an exhibition of its half-century of shoemaking.
http://tech4tea.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php?post=8229&action=edit&message=1 The ECCO MIND line of shoes is specially designed to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary.
The Danish premium comfort footwear brand also set a new record for the most number of shoes shined in Singapore as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations in Singapore.
ECCO was founded in 1963 by Danish shoemaker Karl Toosbuy 50 years ago. Originally called Venus, the brand was changed to Ecco’let before adopting the present-day name of ECCO.
What I like about ECCO is the company’s willingness to constantly innovate in its pursuit of better ways of making shoes.
Good, healthy design does not have to be boring … my favourite design is SHARK – snazzy isn’t it!
