Sidenote: Great little utility
Pierre Chatel's great (and free!) little 'Sidenote' displays notes (RTF formatting, of course) does a simple (and thus good) job. You can read more about it here. There are, of course, more than one solution for this kind of thing. Apple does two right now: Dashboard's stickies and Stickies.app. I like Sidenote better, though.

Adobe to acquire Macromedia
If all goes well, it'll take place this Autumn. This merger will certainly create some waves. Is Adobe too strong? Will this have any effect on Adobe competing with Apple in the software market? Questions, questions. And what about FreeHand? (Yes, Adobe finally has _both_ of the old Aldus graphics packages: PageMaker AND FreeHand...) It's a direct competitor to Illustrator, so it won't make much sense to further update the application for Adobe... Read more here at geekzone and here at TheRegister. And the official announcement.
