Adobe’s Photoshop CS4 update: 64-bit only for windows not Mac

Photoshop CS4 without a doubt has to be adobe’s flagship piece of software and as we know will be a full 64-bit application once the Creative Suite 4 is released. However this 64-bit version will only be available on Windows, Mac users will have to wait just a little longer before they can benefit from the full 64-bit features.

The problem is that Apple discontinued its Carbon 64-bit program; as a result a number of companies including Adobe were left with no avenue to be able to produce its program for a 64-bit code base. To be able to port software into 64-bit on a Mac you have to use Cocoa, and that as many might know is not a simple task.

Corporate Satisfaction Survey: Apple Leopard users happier than Windows XP or Vista

So it seems after a survey it revealed that corperate users of Apple Inc.’s Leopard operating system are apparently 5 times more happier or should I say satisfied with the OS than business users of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Vista.

When the survey was done back in February 2008 of 2,200 U.S corporate computer users a staggering 53 percent of those using Apple Mac OS X 10.5 reported that they were indeed satisfied with their operating system.

But of those using Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP 40 percent of the former and only 8 percent of the latter were indeed very satisfied.

Paul Carton, director of research at ChangeWave Research said “”Apple continues to set the standard for corporate customer satisfaction,” and that it is fact that corporate buying plans for Macs remain at high levels and indicate that users like what Apple’s doing, continued Carton.

Look at it this way, we all know laptops are big business and will get stronger and stronger as time moves on and according to the ChangeWave’s survey 7 percent of the corporate respondents would likely purchase laptops in the next 90 days and that they are planning on buying Apple.

For the full survey results please visit Computerworld.

HTC Star Trek Smartphones running on Windows Mobile 6

A mobile phone that boldly goes where no man has gone before, HTC Star Trek Smartphones has surely got to be for all you trekkie fans. The mobile phone called the HTC Star Trek had its debut and the Trekkie flip cell phone was powered by Windows Mobile 5.0.

It is apparently one of the smallest flip phones available and definitely one of the few that beams in the WinMo platform.

Some clever ROM engineers at xda-developers have developed Windows Mobile 6.0 standard ROM to go into the HTC Star Trek. There will be different Windows Mobile 6 ROMs available for the varying versions of the HTC Star Trek including, Cingular 3125, Qtek 8500, i-mate and Smartship.

Hey warp yourself over to XDA and beam in the ROM which will power you Star Trek phone.

Sorry but the images of the phones are ghastly.
