In brief: "The $100,000 television camera has become a $3,000 high-definition camera, and the $250,000 editing console has become a – The “How-To” Magazine for Everything Adobe.

They went from "Interesting techniques for every designer" to "Interesting techniques for designers JUST LIKE US"
I'm really bothered by the change from MacDesign to "Layers." Like eround, I started subscribing because it was well-rounded and included Dreamweaver tips. I haven't been able to find a good, all-around magazine with web design and graphics in mind, and I thought Mac Design was the one.
Don't get me wrong; I love Adobe products, but this isn't about Adobe. This is supposed to be about designing. I guess to KW, there's no difference.
Al Gore invented TV, didn't he?
You know, Al Gore often gets tagged wrongly over that line. He was actually the person who coined the term "Information Super Highway" and preached that the net should be a common media space for the masses.
If he really did say , "I invented the internet" (I dont have the transcript with me) then it was a foolish mis-speak at a podium under the lights. But he is indeed the single most visible voice who introduced the net to the non University and geek crowd back in the day. At the time, Bill Gates was talking up the CD-ROM as the be-all of the information age.
So Al Gore invented the "image" of the internet for the typical American.

I know Al Gore didn't really say he invented the Internet, and I've read the snopes page, but c'mon, it wouldn't have been very funny had I said, "Al Gore took the initiative in creating the Internet," would it?
Brevity is the sole of wit.
Typing what you mean to type is also the soul of wit, isn't it?
...it wouldn't have been very funny had I said, "Al Gore took the initiative in creating the Television," would it?
Oops!
I am dissapointed to see this change. It sounds like Layers will be an Adobe propaganda magazine from now on. This is unfortunate since Adobe seems to bail on the Mac market whenever it cannot compete with Apple. Kelby says that the change will allow the magazine to be more inclusive of video editors and web designers. In my mind this has just alienated most video editors. The only Adobe video app for the Mac is After Effects (which is an awesome product), but he will have to review Windows only products if he wants to cover video editing and dvd authoring.
I'll have to see when my next issue of the magazine comes to make a true evaluation, but so far I do not like what I hear.
You just knew it was going to happen. Put him on the board of directors and Gore's now shilling Apple products. No self-respecting American (or non-American) would buy a mac now. Say goodbye to your market, Apple!
I can see it now. FNC will be holding a "burn your Mac night" urging people to dump their Macs because of their left-leaning liberalism (the Mac symbol used to be a rainbow Apple, and everyone knows the rainbow is the symbol of homosexuals!), America-hating (when your mac crashes, you get a message to reboot in FIVE languages! That's right, FIVE languages! Not just good ol' American English. Nope, not good enough for those liberals, they want everyone to be speaking Spanish and Chinese!), child perverting (out of the box, Safari does nothing to block p*** sites, NOTHING! Won't someone think of the children!), republican-bashing (a one-button mouse, symbolizing that liberal propoganda that all republicans just march in-step behind one decision maker, with no option to disagree or have other ideas), anti-business (they make computers that can put hard-working IT people out of work!), pro-abortion (since day one, Macs have had either an abort switch or key sequence that just resets the computer as if it weren't even on! Oh, the inhumanity! Or is that incomputerity?) values.
b*******!

Sell Outs
KW has finally sold out completely to Adobe. I use to get that magazine every issue because of the Dreamweaver and FinalCut techniques and tips as well as the Photoshop ones. Now they have finally left Apple and Macromedia completely. Farewell to my subscription.
