Finally, all you graphically-inclined art buffs can rest easy (hey! that's me included!). The release date of not just Photoshop CS3, but the entire Creative Suite 3 has now been confirmed. A few weeks ago, it was mere speculation. Today though, AppleInsider fleshes out the details of the CS3 launch.

Adobe will have a global launch of their graphics package on March 27 at an event in New York, and it will be webcast live at 8:30 p.m., UK time. The software company has even mentioned that this special event will be "the largest software release in Adobe's 25-year history."

Upon release, Adobe will be offering a whole line of distinct bundles that will include various combinations of the specific software in their CS3 package. And, with Adobe's acquiring of Macromedia back in 2005, what we can expect in this third-gen CS is the replacement of GoLive and Image Ready by Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3, respectively.

Blogging is so popular today it seems everyone on the planet has one. No surprise there's at least one blog site to suit every possible taste. Even the weird ones.

For instance, there's the The Stinky Meat Project which chronicles what happened when the blogger took three kinds of meat, let it "ripen" for 19 days until 1,000,000 maggots moved in and stuck them in the yard of his unwitting neighbor. And you thought living next door to a strange lady with 1,000,000,000 kitties in her house was bad. Did you hear about blogger Stinky Feet? His impossibly gross mission is to infect himself with athlete's foot.

On the other end of the blog rainbow is this piece of gold called iFizzle. It's a blog site made to look like Mac OSx interface using macromedia flash. The owner of the blog said he came up with the idea for iFizzle because of the "immeasureable amount of hate" he feels for MySpace and all other "poorly designed automated blogs." This is his most complicated flash project to date.

We have to say, it's one of the best-looking blogsites we've seen. And we've seen a lot. Even Stinky Meat and Stinky Feet would look fresh and appealing if they had iFizzle's super eye-candy look!

The Swiss knife is one of the most innovative creations of all time, letting us do a lot of useful things with the aid of one small tool. This may be the reason why Tenon Intersystems has chosen a Swiss knife-esque logo to represent its commercial Web-based GUI for configuration and management of Apache. With iTools, users are able to automate hosting tasks and delegate administration.

Just today, Tenon has unleashed its iTools 8.2.2 with the latest Apache 2.2.2 as a Universal Binary for both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. Considered as the Apache gold standard, Apache 2.2.2 is a maintenance update to the 2.2 Apache fork. Its new architectural features include an improved memory/disk utilization where files greater than 2GB are supported, a new database API, and new database modules enabling database applications to work more efficiently.

iTools 8.2.2, also a maintenance update, includes updated packages like phpMyAdmin 2.8.1 and MySQL 5.0.18. To enable both legacy Macintosh applications and other Web  tools to run with the latest iTools, new Apache modules were also included. Supported in v8.2.2 are Maxum's NetCloak, SmithMicro's WebDNA, OmniPilot's Lasso, and Macromedia's ColdFusion packages.

You can avail of the Universal Binary version of iTools for $350; while an iTools bundled that includes Post. Office and WEBMail with one year support is priced at $1,000. Available through Tenon.
