Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Acorn 5 is out now and on sale for a limited time for $24.95.
Available through Flying Meat Store and Mac App Store.
I’ve been using Acorn and Pixelmator in lieu of Adobe Photoshop for cropping, touch-up and quick edit. One thing that I find pleasant about Acorn is that it has similar shortcut keys with Adobe Photoshop.
Acorn 5 requires OS X Yosemite (10.10) or later.
Acorn 5 would be the third time I purchased Acorn.
UPDATE:
Apple updated the SSL Certificate for swscan.apple.com on early Sunday, May 25, 2014.
——-
Late Saturday afternoon, a colleague told me that he was having issues getting software updates through the Mac App Store.
An error has occurred
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “swscan.apple.com” which could put your confidential information at risk.
Upon further investigation, apparently someone at Apple forgot to install new SSL Certificate for swscan.apple.com.
Is it possible that a small company like Apple could not afford at least one person to make sure all their security certificate up to date?
Mr Tim Cook, I am available to do the one job. How about $200,000 a year sound?
