I have little to say about it, so i'll just let the head simian at Adobe say it all.

"After 9/11, we both realised that being enemies didn't make sense," Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen said in a conference call on Monday, referring to his discussions with Macromedia's then-CEO Rob Burgess.

As you can imagine, Bruce Chizen is very high on my list for the coveted 2005 Asshole of the Year award.

Adobe, as near as i can tell, is run by Americans; Macromedia is run by Canadians. Take a wild guess.

I love you like the sweaty, armed and naked brother I never had, but are you sure you want this post world-readable?
