			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com">The Apple Insider,</a> the new version of Adobe Creative suite, or CS3, <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2544">now has an official launch date of March 27</a>.  </p>
<p>To promote the new suite, Adobe has posted this video on YouTube.  A glowing cube is passed around by users in the video, representing the creative energy and flexibility of Adobe&#8217;s new software.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dCs2lu7KoOk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dCs2lu7KoOk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>The Apple Insider also reports that there will be six versions of the the suite, offered at different prices and combinations of programs.</p>
<p>I know this will reveal my geek nature, but I think the glowing cube in the Adobe video does bear an unsettling resemblance <a href="http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Balok%27s_cube">to a dangerously radioactive alien buoy</a> in the <em>Star Trek</em> episode <em><a href="http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/The_Corbomite_Maneuver">The Corbomite Maneuver</a></em>, featured in the preview below. </p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JPii8d8iZoM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JPii8d8iZoM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope that the new version of Creative Suite is more friendly to designers than the glowing space cube was to the USS Enterprise.</p>
<p>Another disturbing take on the Adobe commercial is the slogan &#8220;What&#8217;s in the box?&#8221;.  I&#8217;m sure they didn&#8217;t mean to make this comparison, but every time I hear &#8220;What&#8217;s in the box?&#8221;, I think of a gut-wrenching scene in the movie <em>Seven</em>.</p>
<p>Killer space cubes and references to gloomy David Fincher films aside, I am still happy that CS3 is almost here and how Adobe kept <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2414">Fireworks</a> around after buying out Macromedia.</p>
