Adobe releases Contribute 4

Giving the WYSIWYG web publisher its first major update since Macromedia was devoured acquired, Adobe today released Contribute 4, with lots of new bells and whistles including blogging tools and enhanced rich media support. Unfortunately, what it includes may be overshadowed by what it lacks: native Intel Mac support. Instead, Contribute will run under Rosetta on Intel-based Macs (i.e. every single Mac currently shipping from Apple). But hey... let's look on the bright side! Contribute 4 now lets bloggers "Add tags to blog entries without messy HTML coding!" Well worth the $149 ($79 for upgrades) price tag, right? Not convinced yet? Take the 30-day demo for a spin.

Adobe sets us straight: GoLive and Freehand are not going anywhere (yet)

Remember that post we had yesterday (ok, fine: I wrote it) that Adobe was giving pink slips to GoLive and Freehand? As it turns out, that might not exactly have been true. Macworld reported last night that a true-blue Adobe rep laid it out on the table: "Adobe plans to continue to support GoLive and Freehand and develop these products based on our customer's needs."

However, another quote doesn't cast any good vibes on the future of these products in the long run: "Clearly Dreamweaver and Illustrator are market leading when it comes to web design/development and vector graphics/illustration... Customers should expect Adobe to concentrate our development efforts around these two products with regards to future innovation and Creative Suite integration".

Take from that what you wish, but it sounds like the GoLive-haters from my previous post and the Freehand-lovers will still have some hatin' and lovin' to do, at least for a little while longer.

Run ColdFusion on your Mac

ColdFusion MX 7 BoxColdFusion MX 7 is Macromedia's (now Adobe's) powerful server side programming language. It is easy to pick up and allows for rapid development and deployment of web applications, and best of all for us Mac users it written entirely in Java.

So what you ask? Well, that means that you can run a developer's version on your Powerbook (or Mac mini, or PowerMac, or.. well you get the idea). Sean Corfield has posted some very good instructions on how to get CFMX running on OS X (which may or may not change thanks to Tiger).

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
