Well, the integration between all the tools is something that we did when we brought Macromedia and Adobe together. And with CS3 we were able to do some of that integration, but with CS4 we were able to dramatically move the integration along. The other thing is with Flash Player 10 we added a lot of new innovative expressiveness inside that release. That includes things like filter effects, so you can take the same language used in After Effects to do production time video effects -- so you're able to do that now live at runtime in the Flash Player. So that's a really big change in the ability to make those effects interactive if you decide to change them later. But it's a lot of tooling inside the Flash Player.
The other thing is we've integrated 3-D effects in Flash Player 10, so you can now do 3-D transformations and you can have a lot of great 3-D control, and across CS4 3-D is a pervasive element of the tooling. Even within Photoshop you can bring in a 3-D model now and you can actually paint in 3-D on the model. And that is amazing to see that work.
The other area is text. In Flash Player 10 we've put a whole new text engine in Flash. And that came from the engineers working on InDesign, so we've got decades of experience in managing text and layout and publishing, and we've applied all that experience to making the text engine in Flash extremely world class. You can do kerning and you have control over the line breaking and you can do flowing of text across columns and you can use any font you want. So in terms of rendering text on the screen, Flash is now a huge step ahead. And that's supported across the tooling as well
Also what we're doing is we're starting to integrate services with the tooling. So in addition of features in the tools we are now integrating hosted services as part of the tools experience. So if you are using Creative Suite and using Dreamweaver and you want to understand how your Web page is going to actually look across browsers, you used to have to have all the different browsers on your computer and run Linux, Macintosh and Windows to test your pages. It was a pretty laborious process. So what we're doing now is we're hosting a browser testing solution or a way to simulate what the browsers look like. That's an example of how we're providing services with the tools and that's a big shift in how we're actually building our software now. We're really embracing hosted services.
Another area is collaboration. People are starting to work together a lot more on the Web. So our tools are starting to support that collaboration -- whether that's the formats between the tools or working more seamlessly, which we're doing with interactive graphics now. There's a really seamless way to exchange that between the tools using something called FXG, which is an exchange format within the tools.
But also in terms of real-time collaboration...If you're working with someone and you want to jump into a screen-sharing session with that person, we've got something called ConnectNow. So you can go from Photoshop and you can go collaborate with somebody else then you can share your screen and talk about it with live audio and video.
It is definitely an advantage to be an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE).

Adobe Conquering Mobile Phones Industry
Many cell phones today use a simpler version known as Flash Lite. But while that works well for the user interface on the phone, the differences among various mobile devices, wireless carriers and mobile operating systems mean that users have widely inconsistent experiences when they try to access video and other content on the Internet.
Adobe signed up Nokia, Motorola, Verizon, Cisco and other major companies for what it calls the Open Screen Project, in which Adobe agreed to waive licensing fees and other restrictions on some of its software. It was a smart move, according to Michael Gartenberg, an industry analyst for Jupitermedia and MobileDevicesToday.com.
"It makes great sense for Adobe to be moving Flash into the mobile space in a bigger way," Gartenberg said. While consumers want a "richer experience" on their phones, he added, "right now, the mobile market is fragmented."
But Gartenberg warned that Microsoft and other software makers are also vying for a strong mobile presence. Apple has not included Flash in its iPhone, although Narayen said Adobe is developing a version for Apple products. Gartenberg predicted other competitors will announce new mobile software at this week's trade show.
While consumers don't pay for Flash, Adobe profits when developers use its software. In addition to licensing fees, the company sells authoring tools that developers can use to create and test their applications, and server software that lets broadcasters stream video and other content to Internet users.
Again, Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) are in high demand!

Adobe Flash For Apple iPhone
At the Flash On The Beach (FOTB) conference in Brighton, Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems Paul Betlem, confirmed that Adobe is indeed developing a Flash Player for the iPhone. However, Apple calls the shots as to when it'll be available.
The Town Hall meeting sessions are usually a great source of Adobe information and the one at this years Flash On The Beach conference was no exception. The session was full of nuggets for Flash users, but the most relevant piece of information for others was about Flash Player for the iPhone. Upon a direct question from the audience, Paul Betlem for the first time publicly confirmed that Adobe is actively developing a Flash Player for Apple's popular phone. He said (not direct quote) "My team is working on Flash on the iPhone, but it's a closed platform." He noted that Apple makes all the decisions, so in other words, the ball is in Apple's yard at this time. If Apple says yes, Adobe will have the player available in a very short time.
So if you invest and make yourself as an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) then you might be in luck because you just might be able to work for either Adobe Systems or Apple Computers.

University of Cambridge - #2 in UK
In addition to the 31 colleges, the University is made up of over 150 Departments, Faculties, Schools, Syndicates and other institutions. Members of these are usually also members of one (or more) of the colleges, and responsibility for running the entire academic programme of the University is divided amongst them.
A 'School' in the University of Cambridge is a broad administrative grouping of related subjects, each covering a specified group of Faculties. Each has an elected supervisory body - The Council of the School - comprising representatives of the constituent Faculties and Departments in each School. There are six Schools:
Arts and Humanities
Biological Sciences, including Veterinary Medicine
Clinical Medicine
Humanities and Social Sciences
Physical Sciences
Technology
University of Oxford - #1 in UK
There are over 20,000 students at Oxford, including 11,917 undergraduates and 7,350 postgraduates.
Oxford has one of the lowest drop-out rates in the UK: latest figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) show that only 1.2 per cent of students discontinued their course, compared with the national rate of 8.6 per cent. 53 per cent of undergraduates are studying for degrees in the humanities and social sciences, and 43 per cent in medical, mathematical, physical and life sciences.
The rest are studying for undergraduate level diplomas and certificates offered by the Department for Continuing Education.
The tutorial is at the core of undergraduate teaching and learning at Oxford. It offers students a unique learning experience in which they meet regularly with their tutor, either on a one-to-one basis or with one or two other students. Undergraduates attend, on average, one hour-long tutorial every week and undertake a considerable number of hours’ preparatory work for each tutorial, including background reading, essay-writing and problem-solving.
At graduate level, 37 per cent of students are studying for higher degrees in the medical, mathematical physical and life sciences and 56 per cent in the humanities and social sciences. The rest are studying for postgraduate certificates and diplomas offered by the Deparment for Continuing Education.
Oxford University graduates are among the most employable in the UK: our employment rate is over 95 per cent, in contrast to the UK average of 93.8 per cent. Oxford undergraduates and postgraduates enter a wide range of occupations with nearly 80 per cent securing managerial, professional or associate professional posts.
Over 45 per cent of students completing an undergraduate degree go on to further study compared with a national average of just 23 per cent. Every year more than 15,000 people take part in courses offered by the Department for Continuing Education, making Oxford University the fourth largest provider of continuing education in the UK.
Yale University - #2 in United States
Yale is home to a world-class medical center comprising more than a dozen institutions, including the School of Medicine (chartered in 1810), which has been educating leaders, caring for patients, and investigating the scientific basis of health and disease for nearly 200 years. Among its 27 departments are one of the nation’s oldest schools of public health and the internationally recognized Child Study Center, founded in 1911. The School of Nursing trains outstanding leaders in nursing practice, research, and education. Affiliated institutions include the 944-bed Yale-New Haven Hospital—flagship of the Yale New Haven Health System—and the Yale Cancer Center, Connecticut Mental Health Center, Pierce Laboratory, and VA Connecticut Healthcare System in nearby West Haven.
Harvard University - #1 in United States
Very famous for its Law Faculty. Harvard Law School offers an energetic and creative learning environment, a diverse and dedicated faculty—whose expertise spans a broad array of legal subjects—and a student body that comes from every state in the U.S. and more than 70 countries around the world.
Approximately 1,900 students attend HLS each year: 1,680 J.D. students, 160 LL.M. students, and 50 S.J.D. candidates. The faculty includes more than 100 full-time professors and more than 150 visiting professors, lecturers on law, and instructors. The curriculum features more than 260 courses and seminars that cover a broad range of traditional and emerging legal fields.
A Harvard Law education prepares students for success in law practice, business, public service, teaching, and more. Most HLS students are pursuing a J.D. (Juris Doctor) degree, while many others are earning an LL.M. (Master of Laws) or the S.J.D. (Doctor of Juridical Science). Harvard Law School also offers many joint degree programs, coordinated programs, and concurrent degree opportunities with other schools within Harvard University. The Law School community is also home to numerous research programs and engaging publications, including books, scholarly periodicals, newsletters, and a weekly student newspaper.
How hybrid car works?
This is a great knowledge to share. Let me share my knowledge with you, have you pulled your car up to the gas pump lately and been shocked by the high price of gasoline? As the pump clicked past $70, $90, $110 or even $150, maybe you thought about trading in your car for something that gets better mileage. Or maybe you're worried that your car is contributing to the greenhouse effect.
The auto industry has the technology to address these concerns. It's the hybrid car. There are a lot of hybrid models on the market these days, and most automobile manufacturers have announced plans to manufacture their own versions.
How does a hybrid automobile work? What goes on under the hood to give you 50 or 60 more km per litre than the standard automobile? And does it pollute less just because it gets better gas mileage? In this article, I'll help you understand how this technology works, and we'll even give you some tips on how to drive a hybrid car for maximum efficiency.Many people have probably owned a hybrid vehicle at some point. For example, a mo-ped (a motorized pedal bike) is a type of hybrid because it combines the power of a gasoline engine with the pedal power of its rider. In fact, hybrid vehicles are all around us. Most of the locomotives we see pulling trains are diesel-electric hybrids. Cities like Seattle have diesel-electric buses -- these can draw electric power from overhead wires or run on diesel when they are away from the wires. Giant mining trucks are often diesel-electric hybrids. Submarines are also hybrid vehicles -- some are nuclear-electric and some are diesel-electric. Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid. Most hybrid cars on the road right now are gasoline-electric hybrids, although French car maker PSA Peugeot Citroen has two diesel-electric hybrid cars in the works. Watch out for more soon...

Can electric car takes over the road?
Well as a teacher, I think the progression toward hybrid and electric cars seems like a natural step in the evolution of automobile technology. Analysts aren't predicting a drop in oil and gasoline prices anytime soon, effectively shifting car manufacturers into high gear to find the next best way to power vehicles. If the recent concept cars revealed by major automakers are accurate predictors, Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) may be that magic bullet.
Take, for instance, the Chevrolet Volt. This is General Motors' plug-in hybrid concept car designed to run for 40-mile (64.3-kilometer) stretches entirely off of Li-ion batteries. After that, a small gas engine will take over for another 600 miles (965 kilometers). That means many people could complete their daily commute without burning a drop of gas. In addition, the company plans to start cranking them out en masse by 2010. And Chevrolet isn't alone in the Li-ion trend. Jeep, Cadillac, Dodge, Land Rover, Chrysler and Saturn all previewed 2008 concept cars that feature Li-ion battery packs for greener driving.
Why this fawning over Li-ion batteries in the first place? The Toyota Prius and two new hybrids the company unveiled in June 2008 use a nickel-metal-hydride battery. According to the most recent EPA standards, the Prius gets a combined 46 miles per gallon -- not to mention that it has sold like hotcakes.
