Apple today unveiled an all new MacBook family that redefines notebook design, and at the same time dramatically lowers the entry price for advanced notebook features including all-metal enclosures and pro-performance notebook graphics by $700 to make them far more affordable. The new MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro both have a precision unibody enclosure crafted from a single block of aluminum, resulting in thinner, more durable and incredibly beautiful designs Cool Mac Gear

As I predicted in my Acrobat 9 review, CS4 was soon to come. I was right; CS4 was formally announced on September 23, and it will be in our hands soon, very soon. I've been lucky enough to obtain a pre-release copy and have been pounding on it right and left to see what there is to see. Adobe has been maintaining their "about every eighteen months update," routine, but this time is breaking new ground by releasing 17 new programs all at one time. The problem with this type of approach is that there are a few features that seem rushed and not as developed as I think they should/could be, and will instead be "finished" with CS5, while other features that were presented with CS3 are now beautifully developed in CS4. While one can argue the pluses and minuses of this approach (and there are many arguments each way), one does have to sit back and continue to be amazed at how much Adobe does accomplish with each iteration of the Creative Suite suites and applications—that's both collectively and individually.
