Two things I dont like about Adobe

Today when I started my PDF reader, the inbuilt adobe update manager
prompted me saying that there was an update for my application. I
downloaded and updated my app. This was in my desktop.



When I switched on my laptop, and started PDF reader, I was again
prompted but I didnt let the update manager run, because I thought
Google Pack would update it automatically. I think it has been more
than a day since the update was released but my Google Pack does not
report any updates for Adobe PDF Reader. Hmmmm!



Secondly, the Adobe PDF reader has a toolbar that lets you search for
stuff on Yahoo. But the adobe site (www.adobe.com) is powered by Google.



So Adobe gets money from Yahoo for integrating their search engine into
PDF Reader, but Adobe wants the best search engine algorithm to be
running on their site. Hmmmm
