Featured App – Vine

twitter vine

 

If you are bored with all those old social media apps, Vine is something worth trying.

Developed by Twitter, Vine is a video App for twitter. But what differenciate this app from rest of video shooting Apps is the length of video you can shoot. Vine lets you shoot video for maximum 6 seconds. Yes, 6 Seconds. Where this might sound crappy, it’s what makes this App interesting. Another unique feature of this App is, this App is not for hitting a record button and recording for 6 seconds. There are already many awesome 6 second videos shot on vine. You might want to see them too.

Enjoy Vine

Why I Hate Adobe Creative Cloud

Adobe Creative Cloud CC

Within just few days of its launch, social media is full of anger on Adobe CC. And it’s no coincidence that I hate it for the same reasons.

  1. You cannot buy these new CC verion softwares. Yes, since it’s subscription based now, you’ll be paying monthly to use the software you need. And when subscripton ends, you’ll have nothing with you, like previous software you used to buy and own forever.
  2. If you aren’t using all their sofwares that’s in the suite, you might not be able to afford it. You pay 49.99 USD monthly for renting all software suite. But do you really use all of them. For someone like me I use Photoshop ONLY. As per their another plan that will cost me 19.99 USD per month. And worst part, I can never own one, it’s just renting from them.
  3. After you start using Creative Cloud, you are forced to use it. How? All files you create with their software won’t open without that same software in most case. So, if your subscription end, you ended up not being able to use your own files.
  4. So, is it pricey or cheap? Just calculate yourself using just one software for next 10 years (as minimum period as most professionals will be using them their whole life). 10years x 12months x 19.99 = 2398.80 USD. And if you use more than one software that will go upto 5998.80 USD.

So, lets now subscribe to Adobe’s Creative Cloud and start renting as dumb. Lets not use Adobe CC and make Adobe realize where they went wrong.

Pay Monthly To Use Adobe Products Now

Adobe today announced it’s new version of Adobe Suite, which has been named, “CC” which was previously “CS”.

Though expected to be a huge event, today’s event wasn’t much than a regular upgrade event. Although Adobe team have added some very useful features in all their product line.

On the other hand, Adobe will not be selling hard copies as DVD of their products anymore (Following Apple to sell products online only). Also, all their new products are fully interagrated with cloud computing technology, users will be paying on monthly basis to use their products and for storage on the cloud.

To conclude, the new version of Adobe products, “Adobe CC” is more of an upgrade to fight piracy than anything else.

Prachanda Slapped Again by Nepalese Living in India

Prachanda India Slapped

 

Well known for his anger, stupidity and violence, Nepalese maoist leader Prachanda has been literally slapped by the Nepalese people living in India.

As a welcome party to Prachanda, a grand dinner organised by the Embassy of Nepal in India has been rejected by all the Nepalese living their who were cordially invited. Not only by the Nepalese VIPs there, almost all Nepalese organisations has rejected the event, stating Prachanda doesn’t deserve such dinner or any welcome with people’s money. They have also jointly said, since Prachanda is in India for his personal gain, no such event should happen.

Though this has not been much covered by the indian media, Nepalese living their call this “a literal slap” for selfish Prachanda.

Hats off to all the Nepalese brothers and sisters living in India for the slap. Definitely Nepalese living worldwide should learn from this.

Jai Nepal !
