CNBC just passed a nice little nugget of information along in a tweet, indicating that Adobe's CTO, Kevin Lynch, is leaving the company to join Apple. The move is surprising on a number of fronts.

Here are the tweets from CNBC journalist Jon Fortt, and the official CNBC announcement:$Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch ... more

We're skittish when it comes to "leasing" software from major companies. But, when a company like Adobe comes along and announces that they're going to be allowing customers to purchase a subscription plan for their popular applications, you would think that they'd have the process on lockdown before going public and allowing customers to purchase a new Creative Cloud plan.
