The new webmail, man.

Apple unveiled a revamped .Mac webmail today. As expected, it’s chock full of delicious Ajaxy goodness and mimics quite a bit of the functionality of their desktop Mail application. The .Mac Address Book gets a swift kick in the interface as well. I’ve documented some of the major changes in this Flickr photoset. The best part (besides looking one hell of a lot better than Gmail) is that it actually works very well. Nice job, Apple. My webmail is useful again.

Well, adjust my tracking and call me Caslon. Adobe finally freshens up their languishing type products page, renaming it the Adobe Type Showroom. However, once again they’ve neglected to add any new typefaces in the process. The pimped-out, pop-up type browser interface is kinda nice, as is the Flash®-based OpenType tour, but where’s the stuff that keeps customers coming back for more? Surely someone in those shiny towers realizes that you can actually sell new typefaces... not just give them away with every major release of the Creative Suite? Or... maybe not.
