There was once a small company named Macromedia that developed. They developed something called Future Splash. Many people thought it was much cooler than their other larger product called Director.
Future Splash morphed Flash.
The web was changed forever. Macromedia Flash! Huzzaah!!
Macromedia Flash WAS media. Horraah! 99% adoption rate.
As for print, there was Adobe. Adobe wanted to be more media. So, they thought they would just buy out Macromedia. Tadaa!!!! Adobe Flash. Huzzaaah!!! Wooooohoooooo!!!! Haaa!!!
Adobe wanted to control its destiny as a web-print media company who can “seamlessly” provide print/desktop and web solutions. Failed. Well, sorta.
Now, cometh Google (with Google Chrome) who wants to provide a seamless connection between desktop and the web.
It looks like Google needs to acquire Adobe.
Google would benefit because it can buy out Adobe then re-purpose the software development team to focus on desktop-web-hybrid applications. Google Photoshop. Bwwwahahahahah!!! Adobe will benefit because it will not be left behind in the new frontier of cloud computing.
Wait.
* panic attack*

Everyone is looking for the next big thing in English-Chinese Dictionary design and development.
Unfortunately, I don’t have it.
Instead, I have a good idea about which companies will do well in the next 6 months with the Beijing Olympics approaching and the huge interest in Chinese languages this entails.
My two favorite companies right now are Nokia and Apple. They are attempting to penetrate the enterprise market where Blackberry dominates, so they are really taking some bold steps.
One area I am sure will grow is translation. Two people in two different timezones in two different languages should be able to communicate basic protocols and business objectives without fancy software. Nokia and Apple both provide new exciting opportunities for software developers, as the phones are bringing human machine interaction to a whole new level.
Personalized English-Chinese Dictionaries will help individuals build vocabulary. Combined with digital language tutors, the dictionaries will provide a new channel of interoperability and understanding.
Maybe.
