Fireworks CS3

Despite today's excellent point that our most important tool is our brains,
I'm wading in with a few quick remarks about the newest Fireworks release.
I've used it for almost two weeks now and am loving it.

Here's why:

- For folks on Macs, it's (finally) Intel native. A huge performance
improvement on my MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz.

- They've introduced the concept of "Pages". Previously, if you wanted to
capture more than one screen or screen states in a single file, you had to
either use layers (an awkward choice) or frames (a better choice).

What do you think of Microsoft Surface

http://www.microsoft.com/surface/

I find there are quite a few interesting concepts here, especially the
interaction with "real" objects. The clips in the third video is the most
interesting:
- Placing a camera on top of the desk and move images to you portable
player.
- Browsing your media files and drop them on the media player.
- Pay for things by dropping the items on the physical credit cards.
