Toronto: A day after Adobe announced its updated Creative Suite 6 (CS6) and its new Creative Cloud initiave in San Francisco, some of Adobe's key fellows were in Toronto for FITC (Future. Innovation. Technology. Creativity) 2012 to discuss the new features and business direction that Adobe is taking with its new products.
Good news for Google Docs users, the storage limit has been silently raised up to 5GB. Users who have paid for additional storage over the original 1GB aren't getting the upgrade. Various users around the world have noticed the 5GB increase in their Google Docs capacity (i just checked and I am still at the 1GB ceiling -GS).
Today, the VeriSign Checkmark – the most recognized trust mark on the Internet has been combined with Norton protection. Together they become the Norton Secured Seal, a new name to describe the very best in online security standards.

The Norton Secured Seal provides consumers and businesses with the assurance that the website is highly-trusted and secure. For more information, check here.
If you head on over to www.tgeltaayehxnx.com you will see a countdown timer from Samsung, presumably for an as of yet unnanounced new Galaxy device.
The buzz started when Samsung Tweeted "Destination: tgeltaayehxnx" -- an anagram for "The next Galaxy" which seems to be all about the Samsung Galaxy S III or maybe something else. Some members of the press were also invited to a launch event on May 3rd in London — those invitations were labeled simply, "Come and meet the next galaxy." What's Samsung up to? Hopefully a groundbreaking new device that will live up to all this hype.
-Update: Well, no device was actually launched or shown. The countdown was for an even more cryptic teaser video. The video (see below) doesn't give us much, but it does continue Samsung's tact of poking fun (or insulting) iPhone users, which began in the "Next Big Thing is Already Here' Superbowl adverts. Now, they are calling users of a competing product sheep!
Seriously, is that any way to endear yourself to your potential clients?
As per Amazon Germany's Samsung Galaxy S III pre-order page, the specs of that model are expected to be the following.
-4.7-inch Super AMOLED touch-screen with 16 million colours -12-megapixel camera with auto focus, LED Flash and face detection -Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System -16 GB of internal memory, expandable to up to 32 GB
Some rumors also hint that the Samsung's Galaxy S II successor could be powered by a quad-core Cortex A9 Exynos processor which would be amazeballs. We'll get back to all this when there's an actual product to discuss in early May.
