It’s official, as of tomorrow: Macromedia announces Dreamweaver 3/Fireworks 3 Studio.

MS meta-thoughts: I’m seeing lots of places hosting discussions on the MS anti-trust finding. The average opinion is either black or white, with Bill Gates starring as either god or the anti-christ. I’ve found that I’m writing very little on any of these sites because of the number of stories I’ve heard of MS employees trolling on discussions. The posts are so ridiculous, I find it difficult to imagine that anyone believes this crap, unpaid. You can’t have a reasonable discussion with people who make comments about “This is socialism triumphing over capitalism!”–feh. I’ve pointed people towards ESR’s article entitled Why Libertarians Should Not Love Bill Gates to show that there is a middle ground.

On the Scripting News discussion board, Anita Rowland recommended Alexandria Digital Literature (Alexlit.com) for a collaborative guide to books. You put in what you like, and then it makes recommendations for you based on what other people who like those books also liked. Good idea, but poor execution, imo. I couldn’t get it to stop recommending that I should read Snow Crash (okay, I loved it, but I know that already!), and I’m not sure why this would be preferable to Amazon’s recommendations.
