Replacements For Adobe Creative Suite 3 Apps? 270
Gilmoure writes "With rumors of Adobe not supporting Creative Suite 3 applications on Mac OS X 10.6, I was wondering what Open Source apps folks would recommend to replace Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver? If the apps can work with the native file formats, all the better but if they provide the same functionality, that's still good.
I have several designer friends that are looking forward to the speed boost of OS X 10.6 but don't want to go through the Adobe upgrades so soon after the CS2 to CS3 upgrades. Especially when Adobe's already working on CS5."
Submission + - Researchers discover that sand behaves like water (wired.com)
Xeger writes: "University of Chicago researchers have found that streams of sand can behave similar to liquids, forming water-like droplets when poured from a funnel. To obtain these results they dropped their expensive high-speed camera from a height of several meters and observed the sand forming into droplets — something that shouldn't happen without surface tension! These findings suggest that conventional engineering wisdom about sand, dirt and other grainy materials needs to be rethought, and that it might be possible to apply fluid dynamics to some solids problems!"
Submission + - Hackable in car GPS (headfuzz.co.uk)
gigne writes: "I'm in the market for a new in car GPS/sat nav. I am preferably looking for one that has live up to date traffic information and route planning that doesn't make you want to cry. I'm not quite dumb enough to drive off a cliff, but something that doesn't even try and lead me to watery doom is preferable.
The only thing I absolutely must have is the ability to hack it. It would be prefereable if it ran GNU/Linux, but given a convincing argument, I would be swayed to another OS.
Without wanting the Moon on a stick, what is the best device that would offer a decent modding community and a good feature set?"
