PRO TIP MOTHERFUCKER

When Adobe litters your Applications folder with dogshit like Device Central,Media Player,Bridge just zip them up, delete the originals and shove them in /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Delete this shit

Then if your CS runs fine for the next month and you have no problems and find no need to unzip that shit then you can delete the zip with piece of mind

Best CS tip ever!

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
