Adobe Co-Founder Dr. John Warnock Passes at 82
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- It is with profound sadness that Adobe shares the passing of the company’s beloved co-founder Dr. John Warnock. Dr. Warnock passed away on Saturday surrounded by his family.
Dr. Warnock co-founded Adobe in 1982 with Dr. Charles Geschke after meeting as colleagues at Xerox. Their first product was Adobe PostScript, groundbreaking technology that sparked the desktop publishing revolution. Dr. Warnock retired as CEO in 2000 and he was chairman of the board, a position he shared with Dr. Geschke, until 2017. He was a member of the Board of Directors since then. In recognition of their technical achievements, Dr. Warnock was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Technology and Innovation by President Barack Obama; the Computer Entrepreneur Award from the IEEE Computer Society; the American Electronics Association Medal of Achievement; and the Marconi Prize for contributions to information science and communications.
Adobe Chair and CEO Shantanu Narayen sent the following email to all Adobe employees:
It is with profound sadness that I share that our beloved co-founder Dr. John Warnock passed away at the age of 82.
John's brilliance and technology innovations changed the world. It is a sad day for the Adobe community and the industry for which he has been an inspiration for decades.
John and Dr. Chuck Geschke founded Adobe in 1982 with PostScript, sparking the desktop publishing revolution. His vision and passion enabled Adobe to deliver groundbreaking innovations such as Illustrator, the ubiquitous PDF file format and Acrobat, Photoshop and Premiere Pro, defining the desktop era and unleashing creativity and opportunity for millions of people.
John has been widely acknowledged as one of the greatest inventors in our generation with significant impact on how we communicate in words, images and videos. Among many other awards, President Barack Obama awarded him the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, one of the nation’s highest honors bestowed on scientists, engineers and inventors, in 2008; he received the Computer Entrepreneur Award from the IEEE Computer Society; the American Electronics Association Medal of Achievement; and the high honor of the Marconi Prize for contributions to information science and communications. John retired as CEO in 2000 and he was chairman of the board, a position he shared with Chuck, until 2017. Since then, he continued to serve on the Board of Directors.
While the impact that his innovations have had are countless, it is his indomitable spirit, passion and belief in building a company with strong values that has impacted all of us who have had the good fortune of working at Adobe. John was incredibly insightful on which technologies would delight customers as well as create business value. John and his wife, Marva, who is a graphics artist, used our products constantly and set the standard for customer empathy.
My interactions with John over the past 25 years have been the highlight of my professional career. At breakfasts with John and Chuck, we would imagine the future, however, it was our varied conversations on rare books, art, world history and politics that gave me unique insight into John, who was truly a renaissance man (we also loved rooting jointly for the Warriors!). While he was my role model and mentor, I am most grateful to count him as a friend.
As I reflect on this loss that will leave a huge void in our lives, I think back to a few months ago when I saw John for the 30th anniversary of Acrobat. After the event, where we celebrated the impact of Acrobat and PDF on the world of communication, we talked about the potential of Firefly to transform the next generation of creative technology. With a twinkle in his eye, he said that he was amazed with the progress and as always had feedback on how we could make it better!
My thoughts are with Marva and his entire family. There is nothing he would like more than to continue his amazing legacy so let's continue to make him proud.
Shantanu
-----------
Dr. Warnock is survived by his wife Marva Warnock and his three children.

(NASDAQ: MACR), the leading provider of solutions for compelling and effective Web sites, and Intel Corporation today announced that 3D software developers Alias|Wavefront, Discreet Logic, NxView Technologies, Inc., and Softimage have all pledged their support for the 3D technology Intel and Macromedia are developing for the Internet.

Proving Darwin Making Darwin Mathematical
In my computer programming career it is the computer or media brainwashing the population on every new heterogeneous release of software until it matures or reaches it end of support Take for instance Windows Server 2012 R2 and Azure Arc. Democrats are skipping Windows 10 And using Windows Server 2012 R2 and Extended Security Updates in Azure Arc for good UI and design and upgrading to Microsoft Windows 11. Microsoft did not end their 10 year support they just branded it to Internet of things.

The State of Entertainment: Social Media vs Traditional Media
Creators are walking away from million dollar streaming deals.
Andrew Schulz and Yes Theory are great examples:
1. Andrew Schulz took his life savings and bought back the rights to his comedy special after the streaming service expressed their intentions of cutting out parts of his jokes.
2. Yes Theory cut ties with a streaming service due to creative differences after the platform provided
$1,250,000 in funding for the post-production of their feature length documentary Project Iceman.
The Results:
1. Andrew Schulz stated that he made 3x the money he put into his special a few weeks after he self-released it on his website and on Youtube.
2. Yes Theory went on a worldwide theatrical tour for their documentary and sold out every single screening they had.
The Lesson:
Many creators who have already amassed a large audience understand that distributors are not always needed to release their projects. Especially when they feel boxed in by the streamer's creative control.
The idea here is that you take the risk by owning the rights to your work. This means that if it fails, you lose because you're 100% responsible.
But you also gain creative freedom and potential economic upside if the project financially succeeds.
Streaming services are great and without them we wouldn't have some of the best shows and movies ever made. (One of my favorites being Ted Lasso on Apple TV+.)
But, these services are competing with free distribution platforms that have no barrier to entry such as Youtube, Tiktok and others.
You win some, you lose some. Interesting stuff.
What I’ve learned about the industry:
I’ve been working in media and entertainment for about 7 years now.
When I was a teenager, I would dream of one day going to Hollywood. I wanted to “make it” by working on high budget movie productions alongside big names and major studios.
That dream of mine is still present. But the older I got the more I realized how tremendously difficult it is to break into this industry.
The new state of entertainment allows the everyday person from anywhere in the world to create and publish without the need for someone to give permission to do so.
As a Canadian myself, packing my bags and going to Hollywood is very difficult to do because of Visa issues, and other international restrictions for non-US workers.
Today, I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I can focus on working from anywhere I want while connecting with people from the entertainment industries through Youtube, Tiktok, and other online platforms.
Everyone creates content and art nowadays because of how easy it is to do so. The low-barrier of entry we have today lends a voice to everyone in the world willing to say something. That’s a powerful and wonderful thing, and I am here for it.
I love cinema and I can’t wait to make something for the big screen one day. But, I appreciate and love the creator industry a lot and I see space for both to coexist.

Microsoft and Lindows Settle Trademark Case
REDMOND, Wash., and SAN DIEGO, July 19, 2004 — Lindows.com and Microsoft Corp. today jointly announced that a worldwide settlement has been reached in the trademark infringement cases between the two companies.
“This case was centered on the fundamentals of international trademark law and our necessary efforts to protect the Windows® trademark against infringement,” said Tom Burt, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel for Microsoft. “This settlement addresses those concerns, and we are pleased that Lindows will now compete in the marketplace with a name distinctly its own.”
“We are pleased to resolve this litigation on terms that make business sense for all parties,” said Michael Robertson, CEO of Lindows Inc. “Over the next few months Lindows will cease using the term Lindows and transition to Linspire globally as our company name and primary identifier for our operating system product.”
The settlement agreement resolves all claims in this litigation, both in the United States and internationally. Terms of the settlement are confidential.
