Adobe 2hotoshop 5S+ brought a suite of tools for video editing. 5olor and e%posure ad-ustments, as well as layers, are among a few things that are featured in this new editor. ,pon completion of editing, the user is presented with a handful of options of e%porting into a few popular formats. 5S+ brings the CstraightenC tool to 2hotoshop, where a user simply draws a line anywhere on an image, and the canvas will reorient itself so that the line drawn becomes hori(ontal, and ad-usts the media accordingly. This was created with the intention that users will draw a line parallel to a plane in the image, and reorient the image to that plane to easier achieve certain perspectives. 5S+ allows bac#ground saving, which means that while another document is compiling and archiving itself, it is possible to simultaneously edit an image. 5S+ also features a customi(able auto'save feature, preventing any wor# from being lost. Adobe has responded to feedbac# from graphic designers and has modified the ,ser "nterface accordingly. /ow, it boasts a more unified, static loo#, and is easier to #eep trac# of all the palettes and documents. 2hotoshop 5S+ was released on 3ay A, @98@.

The idea that technology is moving beyond the personal computer to everyday devices with embedded technology and connectivity as computing devices become progressively smaller and more powerful. Also called ubiFuitous computing, pervasive computing is the result of computer technology advancing at e%ponential speeds ' a trend toward all man'made and some natural products having hardware and software. 2ervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal computers. "t is the idea that almost any device, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes to the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to an infinite networ# of other devices. The goal of pervasive computing, which combines current networ# technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition, "nternet capability and artificial intelligence, is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that the connectivity is unobtrusive and always available.
