Adobe bundled several tiny little apps aimed at easing your workload into one service, which is yours for the asking: a free Creative Cloud membership grants you access to Adobe Edge Tools & Services, Adobe’s collection of little gems for versatile web designers. This services contains:
Having trouble with Feedburner? Ocassionally, the MyBrand feature may be giving you a 404 error. The good news: there is an easy fix. And if it does not work, we show you what you need to do.
MyBrand allows you to use your own domain name in your feed’s URI while still collecting Feedburner stats. This is extremely important: should you ever want to or have to quit using Feedburner, your subscribers are all yours. Without MyBrand, you can’t even switch to another feed delivery service because you would loose all your subscribers. With MyBrand, this will not happen because you control the domain.
Unfortunately, the MyBrand feature is not always easy to tame. Many users encounter a 404 error when trying to access their branded feeds.
VMware recently introduced version 9 of its award-winning VMWare Workstation, a software which allows you to run a Windows or Linux/Unix system in a virtual environment on top of Windows 8.
Why anyone would want to run a virtualized PC on a Mac is practically a no-brainer (and since you asked, running OS X on a non-Apple hardware is a no-no for legal reasons). Your Mac doubles as a PC while giving you the ability to use the clipboard and file sharing across these two systems.
But why would you want to run a virtual PC on a PC? This setup can be very handy if you happen to use specialized hardware such as a CNC cutter or some other device with a dongle. Or if you need to rely on drivers which are tied to a specific version of Windows and there is no telling what will happen should you upgrade the OS. Will the vendor force you to upgrade its proprietary hardware? If this is the case then it’s a safe bet that the new hardware will come with no additional features but a steep price tag.
With a virtualizer such as VMWare Workstation, you can dodge the pricing policy of your hardware vendor and get away with a far lower expense.
By virtualizing the old PC on top of a new PC, you escape the compatibility trap and avoid an avalanche of upgrades. In a VMWare virtual environment, your old PC will automatically run at a higher speed, frequently delivering a performance several times that of your old hardware.
Tip: If VMWare’s unreliable checkout powered by Digital River is giving you the chills, you can get your upgrade with electronic delivery of keys from techxtend.com.
