The Morning Reboot:
- Adobe let slip yesterday that it plans to release its flagship product Photoshop in online form. The online version of Photoshop will be written using Adobe's Flex tools and will reportedly be launching sometime in the next six months. The service will be free and supported through advertising.
- Sun has joined the Free Software Foundation. Sun is now an official patron of the FSF a title that allows companies to provide financial aid to the FSF in return for free license consulting services. Quite a change from last year when Sun's Jonathan Schwartz referred to the GPL as “intellectual property colonialism.”
- The EU isn't done with Microsoft. Today the European Commission warned Microsoft that it faced further fines in its long-running antitrust battle. The EU says Microsoft will face more formal charges that could lead to new daily penalties on top of fines already levied.
- Newsgator, the popular online RSS service, launched a new and improved AJAX interface for its online news reader yesterday. Unfortunately the service appears to be having a few problems at the moment, but according to those who've seen it, the changes include improved speed and GMail-like keyboard shortcuts.
