* Apple Insider [reports][5] that [Amazon has leaked pricing and package details][6] for Adobe's Creative Suite 3 software packages. Adobe's official announcement is expected tomorrow, but the Amazon page lists the basic specs now. The only real surprise is that most apps are not universal binaries, instead you'll have to choose between Intel and PowerPC versions (according the Amazon anyway).

* Flickr has [introduced some new filter technology][7] designed to give users more options when marking images as objectionable. While many will no doubt appreciate the fine-grained control and ability to specify exactly why an image is potentially objectionable, the cynical among us might note that these filters have coincidentally popped up just before the launch of the new Chinese version of the site -- and what would a Chinese site be without some serious censorship?

* [Zimbra][1], the online web office suite, has announced [Zimbra Desktop][2], which enables offline access to Zimbra's Ajax-powered suite of office apps. Add Zimbra to the growing number of online services offering offline components -- Adobe's recent [launch of Apollo][3], [Firefox 3][4]'s purported offline support and more.

* Just a quick note, since we did the same for Windows a while back, Saturday marked the sixth anniversary of Mac OS X. Seems like a bit longer than that, but that could probably be the amount of effort I've put in to suppressing all my memories of Mac OS 9. Shudder.
* And finally, Bruce Lehman, architect of the DMCA, has admitted what everyone else already knows -- [the DMCA is a failure][8]. Speaking at a conference on music and copyright reform hosted by McGill University, Lehman reported said, ""our Clinton administration policies didn't work out very well" and "our attempts at copyright control have not been successful." Kudos to Lehman for acknowledging the obvious -- now fix your mistake buddy.
