Re: CS^ Event Live Now

Its an off topic realization. I bought stock in both 5 years ago. I've realized over the years to not hope for the profits of an established company to increase unless they can somehow broaden their user/customer base.

Watching all the cool stuff from Adobe made me realize how Adobe is forced to lead or chase the pack at all times. Like Autodesk or Avid. They're all relying on the high end customer to buy their products. Adobe is spending a buttload to try and keep their customers, or get the few FCP converts that don't go Avid or Autodesk.

While at the same time Apple shook things up by creating a piece of software that was a completely different paradigm AND a completely different customer base and focus. at least for now. I'd say their focus is pretty much all Mac users that want to edit video AND some pro/high end. They probably are investing a small amount in FCP X compared to Adobe puts into JUST Premiere and Apple is focusing on a broader customer base where there really isn't any competition. Some of that base might just buy an iMac so they can use it.

And to top it all off, I'm typing this on my iPad while watching the stream from my iPhone mirrored on my AppleTV. Feeling pretty geeked out now....
