The rumor began when Robert X. Cringely reported last week that Apple was looking for a buyer at NAB this year according to TVBEurope . According to Mr. Cringley Apple wants to offload Aperture Final Cut Pro Logic and Shake as a precursor to buying Adobe. By selling off its pro apps Apple is less likely to face problems when clearing potential antitrust hurdles. That s why Apple was shopping the programs at NAB he said. Apple s director of marketing for professional video applications Richard Townhill said that Mr. Cringley is flat out wrong and that the Fina! l Cut Suite is not up for grabs. I can categorically state on the record that is not the case he said. While selling off the Final Cut Suite could potentially make sense if Apple really were on the prowl to buy Adobe the Mac and iPod maker could instead sell off Adobe Premiere as part of a buyout agreement and hold on to its successful Final Cut Pro instead. Apple however isn t likely in the market to buy Adobe only to have to take on the burden of supporting applications like Photoshop Illustator InDesign and Acrobat. Getting control over Flash and PDF would be a big plus for Apple but not at the cost of its own already successful video and audio production applications.

Another site recomended to review: Car hire in Windhoek ( http://www.hpcarsales.com.na/car-hire-namibia.html )

I haven't gotten anything done today, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I just don't have much to say. Whatever. I've just been sitting around not getting anything done, but pfft. I don't care.
