This week’s guest publication
Jeffrey Zeldman asks his readers which they’re more interested in, Adobe CS3 (presumably some designer thing?) or Windows Vista. In a similar vein, I’d like to ask readers of this site which you’re more interested in, Sun’s JavaFX or signing up for TissueWorld 2008, the Premiere Exhibition and Conference for the International Tissue Industry. Answers on a postcard.
Please, spare me the oh-so-amusing “I’m way more interested in bog roll than I am in Java” answers, if you would.
CS* is Photoshop plus a bunch of other designer stuff. CS3 is exciting for Macheads as (I think) it’s the first one that is a Universal app, i.e running natively on Intel Macs not running PPC binaries through Rosetta emulation/translation (which should make it significantly faster to do drop shadows and gradients or whatever else people do with photoshop).
I’ll join in and ask which fruit people like best; apples, oranges, or marmite?

Boy, that closed-source software is a bitch, ain’t it?

There are times when a soft tissue really comes in handy :) :)

I expect that there are a lot of really conflicted people out there, given that most Java programmers seems to be high-volume users of tissues….

Honestly, TissueWorld is more likely to have cute booth babes.

I’m sure I’ll use more tissue than Java or JavaFX in the next year, but that’s not saying I want to spend a couple of days with people in the industry. So my answer is…
JavaFX, by a nose;)

Hmm I suppose how good the JavaFX technologies are and how hot the booth babes are at both conferences… I can see a potential crossover market… Actually I would rather not. Pass the mind bleach please….
Although I would love to take the piss out of Tissueworld I did go to StorageExpo so therefore have morally punctured my own spacehopper if I attempt to claim that it is a sad thing to attend.
