Adobe to Drop GoLive, FreeHand

“Adobe Systems France announced at Adobe Live that the development of GoLive and FreeHand will be phased out. Adobe representative Robert Raiola stated that Dreamweaver will get a new interface and replace GoLive as the Web development application in the Creative Suite 3 package, due out in spring 2007.” (UPDATE from MacNN: “German Mac site Macnews.de says that Freehand will remain a standalone product and that the company has scheduled a maintenance release of the product for later this year.”)

What’s Missing in Web 2.0?

“I believe that before web applications can truly make the desktop obsolete, we need to solve two important problems. Both might seem a bit surprising at first. Even though Javascript is a mess, neither of these points concerns building better AJAX UIs or frameworks to write them… One of my pet problems is engineering, not science; the second is science, not engineering: 1. Offline Access; 2. Encrypted, searchable storage.”
