Firstly apologies for the massive break between posts – I started a new job in October and it’s been full throttle. Then I was on holidays for a while. So hopefully things will be a little more normal for a bit.

But onto the point of this post – Adobe. They make some fine software, like Photoshop, but their periphery software is terrible. I just installed Acrobat Reader on a Windows machine and received a bit of a shock. no one particularly likes the install progress window, but Adobe has taken it one step further and added a carousel of banner ads.

Oh that just makes it so much better. I know it’s free software, but this solution just feels like a desperate attempt to satisfy the marketing department.
