Adobe To Move All Apps to the Web

The days of laying down a lump sum to use Adobe software may be coming to a close – in favor of subscription-based online programs. According to Reuters, Adobe Chief Executive Bruce Chizen mentioned the company’s intent at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, saying the it will eventually migrate all of its software to the Web.

Chizen acknowledged that the shift would take the company a significant amount of time, estimating perhaps a decade. He also acknowledged potential pitfalls. “Broadband, as quick as it gets, is still going to have some limitations in the short term,” he said in a question-and-answer session.

Adobe already has a presence in Web 2.0 applications with its Flex platform, which is used for developing what Adobe calls rich Internet applications (RIAs). In addition, it offers an online version of Premiere called Premiere Express.

How to delete apps on an Apple TV

How to delete apps from Apple TV.

Apple TV is easily one of the best streaming devices you can get, hands down. It's a gateway to all your streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, and it can be used for gaming, fitness, music streaming, and other fun and helpful apps. But therein lies the problem — there's almost too much to do with the Apple TV, so much so that over time, your device's home screen can get pretty crowded with apps.

The good news is that you can clean things up pretty easily, either by offloading apps you don't use, but want to keep in the background, or giving the ax to apps that you're just done with. Here's how to delete apps on Apple TV.

Beatbot makes a splash at CES 2024 with all-in-one robotic pool cleaner

A floating Beatbot robot collects debris from the edges of a pool.

The worst part of owning a pool is trying to keep it clean. Removing debris, scrubbing the walls and floor, and managing water quality is practically a part-time job, making a backyard oasis more hassle than expected. Beatbot hopes to make that a thing of the past with the reveal of the AquaSense Pro at CES 2024 -- a comprehensive robotic pool cleaner that automates most of these processes.

While most competitors will clean either the bottom of your pool or the surface, the Beatbot manages to do both using a chamber that fills with water to sink the bot like a submarine and then empties to float. Using an accompanying smartphone app, you can have the robot clean the floor and walls of your pool, skim debris off the surface, and even improve the clarity of your water by automatically dispensing chemicals based on the size of your pool.
