Adobe's Move to the Cloud Incites Anger and Other Top Comments

By Jessica Fee2013-05-13 18:50:09 UTC

In this week's Top Comments, we've focused in on the controversial discussion over Adobe's recent subscription pricing announcement. Does the new subscription-based model benefit freelancers, hobbyists, or professionals? When we first posted the story on our Facebook page, the general reaction to the news was extremely negative. Eventually, however, those who have been using the Creative Cloud Suite began to speak up and explained that the benefits actually outweigh the negatives. Adobe offers a tiered payment plan, and with the cloud, you automatically receive any updates as soon as they're released. Do you think the new subscription model is an improvement, or a regression, for Adobe's Creative Suite?

Our second most-buzzed about story this week was about Bill Gates' take on innovation, the Apple iPad, and the Windows tablet. In the comments section, our readers debated the necessity of Windows on an iPad; should tablets have all of the same functions as laptops, or do they serve a strict no-work, all-play function?

Finally, Robin Williams made the news this week when he tweeted out a picture of himself and Kim Kardashian side by side wearing strangely similar floral frocks. Kardashian was one of the celebrities at The Met's punk-themed gala this week and is rumored to be due sometime in June. Was Williams' tweet too low a blow at the mom-to-be, or was it funny enough to pass by without an apology?
