AdobSoft? "Nonsense" on the Microsoft-Adobe Rumor (In Any Case, It'd More Likely Be GooDobe)

Kara Swisher in News on October 7, 2010 at 10:01 pm PT

Investment bankers and stock markets can calm down–Microsoft and Adobe are not in talks about an acquisition. Spurred by a story in the New York Times that Microsoft was eyeing the software company for purchase, Adobe stock went wild today, up 11.5 percent to $28.69. Except, according to numerous sources at both companies with whom I talked today, it’s “nonsense.”

Adobe Co-Founder: We Never Abandoned Apple, but Apple Is Abandoning Us

John Paczkowski in Mobile on May 14, 2010 at 3:00 am PT

A couple of weeks ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs published “Thoughts on Flash,” a 1,671-word execration of Adobe’s Flash platform. On Thursday, Adobe co-founders and co-chairmen Chuck Geschke and John Warnock followed suit with some thoughts of their own. Their eight-paragraph essay, “Our Thoughts On Open Markets,” mentions Apple only once, but when it does it is to lambaste the company for its position on Flash.

Here's a Patch for You, Adobe: \Acrobat\Uninstall.exe

John Paczkowski in News on February 20, 2009 at 9:03 am PT

There’s a critical vulnerability in Adobe Reader and Acrobat and at least one zero-day exploit for them in the wild already. Yet Adobe won’t have a fix in place until March 11, and then only for Adobe Reader 9 and Acrobat 9. Patches for earlier versions of the software will arrive sometime after that. Two and half weeks or longer to wait for a critical patch.
