Is pagerank dead?

 Some one recently asked the head of google webspam dead if there was going to be a page rank update seeing as we haven't had one for months from google telling us how highly google think of our website.. Pagerank is like a trust and authority metre.. The response the person asking on twitter got was basically would be surprised if google did bring out a pagerank update.. in other words dont be expecting one soon. This is bad news for start up business and those who want to see how well their seo efforts are going.. Pr is like authority of a website..... and we all see that authority websites do the best that why we see amazon ebay everywhere...... pr is important when you get pr 456+ that is relevant. Page rank is really important for seeing whether you can or cant rank for a particular keyword... Without page rank updates many webmasters will be lost.. However reasons for google not revealing page rank updates would be to stop link buying and expired domain buying for seo purposes to game the system like they like to call it... What are your thoughts? When do if ever do you think the next page rank update will be.. barein mind it has been many months since the last one!

Pagerank is the only authority meter we have... now we can only guess if google thinks we are a authority and should be trusted by how much we dominate the serps like amazon and ebay.

Something similiar to flash vector drawing in photoshop or illustrator? Pen tool alternative?

Hello, I really hate the penn tool in photoshop .. draw a line and want it to be a curved line but no photoshop wants to make it really weird curved line.... I really prefer the vector drawer in flash where you draw a line straight and then with mouse simply drag the line into a curve how you want it to be (good for tracing)... Are there any good vector drawers either in photoshop, illustrator or something else which does something like flash only abit more sophisticated? that will be good to use when tracing over images?

This would really help me out a lot if there are any?

Iv tried the pen tools in both photoshop and illustrator and ahh there both the same and i though illustrator was meant to be more for vector drawing but obviously not...anyone got any suggestions thanks?

Just to clarify I want something that is nothing like the pen tool in Photoshop but like the line drawing and manipulator tool in flash.. its annoying how flash isnt even made for vector drawing but has better tools for vectors than illustrator that is meant for exactly that purpose.. Please help me out and comment below if you have any suggestions.. thanks guys..

If i do find a easy alternative to drawing vectors in Photoshop or illustrator I will update this post... wish me luck!
