Is now finally the time? Can Hipstamatic capitalize on – what I feel like is – a deeper, more intriguing camera app? With all of the fuss about Facebook's $1B purchase of much-loved Instagram, could the stars have aligned? First Things First I think the Hipstamatic UI needs some improvement.

I recently had the displeasure of dealing with Adobe wile trying to UPGRADE my existing CS5 suite. Below is the exact transcript showing how ridiculous the process was. Particularly maddening considering how expensive (read: OVER PRICED) the software is. Read on….
