I love to research stuff. Any time I have a conversation with someone and I’m not 100% on the details, I’ll go look it up on the Internet. So now my obsession with research is driving me crazy :)

Everybody wins →
John Gruber has said some great things about Adobe’s news, but this is his best point:
