Maybe it's time for professional grade software and hardware makers to team up and put together their own "Creative Pro" version of Linux so they don't have to depend on Microsoft and Apple anymore.

$50 million is apparently what separates how much consumers spent during Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
Adobe has released metrics for Cyber Monday sales online as well as platform traffic. The numbers come out of 80 percent of transactions from the top 100 US retailers and 75 percent of transactions from the top 500. on the web and, just like with Black Friday, we’re looking at record numbers this year.
The firm is estimating $3.39 billion worth of sales, a year-over-year growth of 10.2 percent and only beating internal estimates and Friday’s sales by just a little bit. By platform, smartphones made up 44 percent of pageviews, but only 25 percent of sales. Tablets took 9 percent of traffic and 10 percent of purchases. Desktops made up the rest of that share. It’s likely that mall strollers weren’t on their phones yesterday. Instead, we think office dwellers were taking “extended lunch breaks”.
Average cart checkouts on iPhones were around $139 while Android phone users bought $124 per order.
Visit-to-purchase conversions improved on an annual basis on all levels, though they are still at lower levels than Black Friday conversions. Smartphone conversions were marked at 1.9 percent while tablets switched over 3.7 percent of visits and 4.3 percent of desktops as well.
Of our technology interest, iPads and Amazon Fire-branded products were the fourth and fifth best performers.
Overall, November has brought in just under $40 billion of online sales to the top businesses in the US with 31 percent of sales coming from mobile devices.

Adobe Flash helped make the internet what it is today, bringing us streaming video, interactive games, and –yes- some very annoying ads. But the internet’s been doing a lot of growing up lately, and between steep processing and memory requirements, to say nothing of security vulnerability after security vulnerability, the sun’s been setting on Flash. As everyone looks to HTML5 and other more mature technologies for their Flash replacements, Google’s doing its part to help move ...

With this year’s crop of new smartphones, users have access to some of the best cameras to ever bless mobile devices. Rather than just throwing megapixels at us, manufacturers have been delivering cameras that actually put their focus less on specs and marketing buzzwords, and more on sensors capable of producing some stunning shots. But now that you’ve got all these beautiful pics on your phone, what do you do with them? Sure, you could move them all over to your PC for some hardcore ...

The mall isn’t fun anymore. Unless you’re going to Sephora to try out new nail polish. Or heading next door to Godiva for some free samples. Or going to the Apple Store and doing the cliche Facebook post on a forgetful person’s account (log off when you’re done, please!). But when it comes to real shopping, smartphones seem to be the way to do it these days.And we really mean ...

One of the most powerful features of smartphones nowadays is the camera. What once used to be unsuitable for taking pictures of your lunch can now capture the next internet-famous landscape shots, but editing on mobile hasn’t been the easiest. That’s why, when Adobe brought Lightroom over to iOS last year, professionals rejoiced – and now those same professionals using Android can do so as well, thanks to the arrival of the Adobe Lightroom Android app on Google Play.There’s one small catch, and that is that you’ll only be able to use the app on smartphones. ...

It’s a story we’ve sadly seen all too many times before: a developer comes out with its hot new mobile app for iOS, and maybe delivers an Android port… and then that’s it. Either due to a lack of resources or perceived lack of benefit, users of smaller mobile platforms find themselves getting left behind. Companies like Microsoft and BlackBerry have been doing what they can do encourage developer engagement with their platforms, and today we learn of at least one of ...

Rent your house or buy one? Lease that car or purchase it outright? Over and over in our lives we’re offered these decisions. Now, it looks like a similar dichotomy is gaining support in the software industry, including when it comes to mobile apps: do you want to buy your software now, or pay a little bit each month as part of an ongoing subscription? While there are absolutely benefits to the latter, I’m concerned that as time goes on, users are going to have a decreasing say in the matter, and subscription-based apps will become the norm, to the ultimate detriment of users. ...

With iOS maintaining its firm anti-Flash stance, and seeing Adobe back away from work on Flash for Android, it may have seemed like the book was closed on Flash’s mobile story. For all the problems it’s had finding a home on smartphones and tablets, Flash is still a huge part of how many of us access the internet. As such, it turns out that Flash still has a little bit of a fight left in it, and will be finding a more prominent home on Windows 8 based tablets. So far with Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 and ...
