Adobe Carousel is a new cloud based photo syncing service that is coming soon.
The service will be offered by yearly subscriptions and allows you to keep all of your photos on all of your devices in sync and up to date with their latest edits. All of the editing is non-destructive, so you can always go back to your original image. The idea of syncing all of the devices is incredible, and for a starting price of $59.99/year, it’s not a bad deal. Where I have a problem is the subscription. I don’t like subscriptions. Make me pay $60 for the service, and add features every year that I have to pay for to get the upgrade.

Google Plus Finally Open to All
September 20, 2011 – 9:26 pm
After a few months of teasing people, Google+ has finally launched the full site allowing anyone but business to register.
Limiting businesses includes limiting google app users. This is a huge problem for many people who’d like to use their google address book from google apps for their google+ account. It also makes finding people more difficult. Yes, there are work-arounds, but google needs to make things as easy and simple as possible to start if they want to convince people to abandon facebook for google plus.
Some people doubt Google’s ability to compete with facebook, but some people doubted google before there was google. Then people doubted google when they went to make a phone. Remember friendster? How about myspace? With the history of social networks quickly losing popularity with the release of a newer, better platform, it’s hard to imagine Facebook’s demise as an if rather than a when.
Goodbye Facebook, Hello Google+

Google Chromebook
May 12, 2011 – 4:56 pm
Chrome OS is the first step towards fully cloud based computing. General consumers will eventually rely completely on such devices with no need for a computer. Advanced media will require the performance of standard computers with local files for quite some time. Graphic designers and Video editors will be stuck with their standard laptops, but the rest of the world will eventually have a cell phone that wireless docks with EVERYTHING.
In the meantime, if you want cloud computing and don’t need to do anything beyond surf the net, check your email, use a spreadsheet, word processor, or powerpoint, do basic editing and organizing of photos, or video chat, then a Google Chromebook is the solution for you. Personally, I’ll be sticking to a MacBook Pro, iMac, iPad, and iPhone.
