<description><![CDATA[Amazon Web Services&amp;39' status dashboard showed troubles with the Elastic Compute Cloud service.(Credit:screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET)A serious Amazon Web Services outage has extended well into its second day, but Amazon said Friday the end is in sight for most affected customers of the cloud-computing infrastructure.&quot;We continue to see progress in recovering volumes, and have heard many additional customers confirm that they're recovering. Our current estimate is that the majority of volumes will be recovered over the next 5 to 6 hours,&quot; Amazon said on its AWS status dashboard at 8:49 a.m. today. Volumes are areas of Amazon's Elastic Block Storage (EBS) service that store data. But for some customers, the news isn't so good. In some cases, Amazon has to restore data from backups made yesterday, a time-consuming process. &quot;We anticipate that those will take longer to recover,&quot; Amazon said, without making any predictions about just how long.AWS is a flagship example of one facet of cloud computing, a flexible collection of online computing services that can ramp up and down according to varying needs, with customers getting a flexible infrastructure and paying only for what they consume. At the same time, though, when a widely used service goes down, many suffer. In AWS' case, the problems with some services in the East Coast region laid low many Internet operations, including the Web sites of Quora, Sencha, Reddit, and FourSquare, and services that relied on Heroku.Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service, Relational Database Service, and Elastic Beanstalk service have been affected by the outage. The problem was first logged at 1:41 a.m. PT yesterday, the result of a &quot;networking event&quot; that triggered a cascade of other problems.Struggling to restore the service has clearly been a taxing effort for Amazon. &quot;The team continues to be all-hands on deck trying to add capacity to the affected Availability Zone to re-mirror stuck volumes. It's taking us longer than we anticipated to add capacity to this fleet,&quot; Amazon said late last night.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Adobe&amp;39's $5 Eazel finger-painting app uses a five-finger multitouch interface to set colors, opacity, and brush size, for undo and redo, and for access to some settings.(Credit:screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET)Adobe Systems is something of an industry punching bag in some circles for offering software wedded to a personal computer era we're supposedly outgrowing.It's time to update that corporate image.As part of the debut ofCreative Suite 5.5, the company today announced a collection of new software that includes threeiPad applications' Flash tools better at creating content that reaches devices beyond PCs' and developer tools that bring some of Adobe's strength in design tools to the Web standards world of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.It's not going to be enough to placate critics who dislike the toll the Flash Player takes on their laptops' battery life (never mind that Web standards doing the same thing bring a similar penalty). But it should be enough to convince rational people that Adobe doesn't just see the world through Flash-colored glasses.Adobe'siPhone, iPad, and Android software so far has been anemic--Photoshop Express is fine as far as it goes, but that's not that far right now. The new applications, due to arrive in May, show more promise and indicate that Adobe isn't blind to the possibilities that tablets hold for the creative set. CS5.5 Production Premium, one of the Adobe suites being updated on the new annual interim release schedule.(Credit:Adobe Systems) Eazel, for $5, is a finger-painting app that uses a clever multitouch interface to bypass menus. Color Lava, for $3, lets people mix colors on a palette and export them to Photoshop. Least assuming but potentially most interesting is Nav, a $2 app that acts as a remote control for Photoshop running on a Wi-Fi connected computer.The reason Nav is interesting is because it uses a new ability in a free update to Photoshop CS5 that will let other devices control the software. That means others can write their own apps--for example tutorials that actually integrate with the software.In Web development, the Web design package Dreamweaver CS5.5 draws on standards including HTML5 and CSS3, and it folds in two outside development projects, jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap for handling mobile devices.Of course, Adobe isn't ditching Flash. New Flash programming tools are geared for reaching mobile devices better, either through Flash directly or with Adobe's indirect repackaging route to reach Apple's iOS devices, and for making development and testing easier. Adobe estimates 131 million smartphones and 69 million tablets will have the Flash Player installed by the end of 2011.Adobe has plenty of challenges yet. But it's adapting to a new order with more programming environments than personal computers and more cross-platform programming foundations than Flash. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
