In a move that seems somewhat delayed on Adobe's part, given the amount of competing web-based services already available, the beta release of Adobe Photoshop Express has been publicly launched.
Despite carrying the same name as the legendary digital image editing software, Photoshop Express is a free service that is more of a cross between Google's Picasa and Picnik, the web-based photo editor used with Flickr.
Sure there are plenty of choices when someone wants to quickly edit a photo online (FotoFlexer, [...]

Iceberg - A Race Car Innovation Devoured By PR
Back in July I tested a fascinating enterprise business solution called Iceberg on Demand. Iceberg made a bold claim back then that said it would declare war on software. Based on my evaluation then and new feedback from Wayne Byrne, head of the development, I see now a superb innovation ready to come out of beta into the market under full power.
Iceberg Is Innovation Without the Hype
Byrne and his team [...]

Happen to be a fan of free open source software? How ‘bout Open Office? Pretty useful suite of software, right? Indeed.
But what if you’re equally enthralled by things Web-based? You like what Zoho’s got. You may admire what Google has done thus far. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds? Open source software for use online?
Enter, Ulteo. A company that adheres strongly to the basic mantra stipulated by Torvalds and Tux, Ulteo has exercised its [...]

Profy’s Michael Garrett wrote in late October of an expected update to Flickr in the way of an image editor. Yesterday, the company delivered on its promise.
As mentioned in the previous piece by Michael G. noting the impending release, Flickr teamed up with Picnik to provide its users a set of tools – ranging from Auto-Fix to Rotate to Red-Eye – streamlined into its hosting service, effectively cutting out any need for Flickr users to maintain a [...]

I’ve been known to rag on Yahoo! here at Profy far more often than praise or glorify the company. But hey, as the saying goes, you gotta call ‘em as you see ‘em, right?
And the media on the whole has rightly pilloried the Web giant for a number of its controversial actions and statements; some more egregious than others, of course. I mean, come on. Divulging sensitive information to Chinese authorities about dissident voices? Despite the threat of [...]

Zoho, a company responsible for the creation of one of the finest Web-based software suites in existence, today unveiled a much-anticipated update to its word processor.
While a previous iteration of the utility enabled the user the option to read documents while not connected to a broadband service, courtesy of Google’s Gears plug-in, Zoho’s new release of Writer allows for total offline access.
That means reading and editing is now possible with the new Zoho-plus-Google Gears combo. Which is something [...]

It’s getting to be a relatively quiet week in the tech world. Sure, servers are serving and screens are…you know…screening, but a good portion of the newsmakers and newsbreakers are taking a bit of a rest, a siesta if you will. Why? Well, here in the US in particular, we’re coming up on a national holiday, and while Americans typically take most every chance they get to practice their overtime-honored workaholicism, we also know how to abide by our calendars [...]

We brought you word first in early March 2007 of Adobe’s development of a Web-based Photoshop utility. Then in early September, Adobe broke its silence on the subject once more to an audience at Photoshop World. There it whet the palate of the masses with a brief teaser. A month later, at the company’s Max 2007 conference, it all but pulled the curtain off the project entirely, offering a brief demo that the blogosphere grew quite excited over.
Yesterday, Adobe let [...]

Everyone’s talking about APIs these days.
The developer world loves ‘em. They eat them up like luscious treats of godly goodness. After they finish their celebratory cheers and siphon those lasts few sips from them party kegs, they plant themselves before their screens and pore over the releases’ particulars to determine how good the kits are (whether they’re offer up enough info to enable some really nifty and powerful third-party stuff, whether they’re “open” enough, etc., etc). And then they [...]
