Thoughts on Flash, by Steve Jobs
Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.
Coming up on Beta 2: Sprint!
Early next week, we’re hoping to release the 2nd beta release of WordPress 3.0 on our journey toward the final version. There are still over 200 bugs in the 3.0 milestone, and we can use all the help we can get on fixing these problems. If you’re a developer, take a look at the list of bugs that still need fixing in 3.0. Write a patch, or test and give feedback on someone else’s.
I’m really excited because we are now exactly one week from WordCamp San Francisco, the “Original.”
There’s about a half a dozen speakers we haven’t posted yet, or the schedule, and already over 500 people have signed up. If you can find any way to make it to San Francisco next week, you should! Skip, swim, fly, walk, hitchhike… It’s our fourth year so we know how to do it right.

How to create a .po language translation
This article is about creating language translations for word press developments, both for plugins and themes.
However, the described .po creation method using poedit is “roughly” universal, thus this post can be used as an universal tutorial about creating .po library (catalog) files for any purpose, not just WP
I found there is a lot information on the web about editing .po files but very little about creating your own .po from start. This was the main purpose of this article.
