Based on murmurings and mooings on the pro sites, I reckon Apple will lose some customers to Avid, if they had originally come from Avid some time in the last 10 years. They're talking about going back to Avid, not to Avid.
I also reckon every kid who has used iMovie in the last few years will start using FCP X in about July. This is the next generation of video editors, and they will far outnumber Avid users. They will be making movies for web distribution. They will be flooding the film schools. They will also have the mad skillz (look at me, sounding like a teenager :D) to turn things over really quickly, something which is appreciated in today's editing environment.
Apple has built FCP X for people who have never used film and probably never will so the metaphor needed to go. Bye-bye bins, hello "smart folders". And a big hello to the do-deca-core, 8TB, 32GB Mac Pro everyone can now justify purchasing.
I agree on all points. Apple is walking a fine line between making the current pros happy and creating a project that will differentiate itself in way to inspire the post-film generation filmmakers (heck post video tape) generation filmmakers and thereby inspire sales.
I also think Apple has the advantage of the App store. While not free from hacking/pirating so far it looks more resistant that means it flexibility in pricing. For every copy of the software Adobe is selling how many dozens of copies are pirated? Currently the same thing could be said for FCP but I imagine that ration will turn in Apple's favor now. Avid is more immune but then Avid appeals to a different (perhaps dying) demographic.

The Wired App is just two stars. For the free edition.
Overall, the app sits at 2.5 stars for all versions.
That's one good reason for Conde to tap on the brakes.

Should have known you were an EASTERN UKRAINIAN... you all voted Russian and or for the Russianization of Eastern Ukraine, right?
Ok, so you are American.. good. But you also most understand that in America, there is no real culture.. What would life be like without Pyrohi or Pierogi? Holuptsi? Horilka?
I didn't vote for anyone except obama, i was born here. Didn't vote for russian anything. Although my great babushka was in the KGB. We have a cute little picture of her in her leather jacket with a gun and cigar in her mouth, god rest her soul! She would be turning in her grave if she knew how american my family would become. But in the end, i don't care about anything regarding russia or ukraine, i have no connection to it and i have no family left there. And America DOES have a culture, it's a mix of all cultures and their influences and contributions, part of the reason my family loves an appreciates this country so much. And as much as i like holuptsi and pierogi, i'd take me a good old bacon cheeseburger with cajun fries from five guys over any of that!

Outside the door to General Motors' Washington office is a photo of the Chevy Volt framed by the U.S. Capitol.
GM loves to market the Volt, the 2011 Motor Trend Car of the Year ("A car of the future you can drive today.") It's an engineering breakthrough, a darling of the "green" media and evidence that stodgy old GM knows how to innovate.
So why, I asked Mike Robinson, GM's vice president of environment, energy and safety policy, is GM selling so few Volts? Just 321 in January, 281 in February, according to GM's monthly sales report. By comparison, Chevy sold nearly 70,000 Silverado pickup trucks during those two months.
"We're on target," he assured me. "We've probably got orders for every one we can build in the next year." Chevy plans to sell 10,000 Volts this year, and another 45,000 next year and, if all goes well, a lot more after that.
link (http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2011/03/25/why-gms-sustainability-chief-charged-about-volt#ixzz1HdK1btSl)
so, only about 600 volts this year? seems low.

Yes, "As expected"
Addiction to Apple and MR runneth deep!
Wondering if he is that positive in all aspects of his life or ever happy.
Maybe time for a suicide watch?

Newer updates contain newer features (that the Apps might require to run) as well as essential security fixes. Running an older iOS version (as with any OS) is simply ill advised.
Obviously, if an app requires newer features it should require it. But if it's just doing basic stuff that you could do since, say, 4.0, why exactly should they require you update to 4.3.3? And if it doesn't need/use things like multitasking, why not use as low of a rev as possible to ensure the most people possible can run the app?
I have a number of friends with 3G phones that refuse to upgrade since they've seen lots of issues on their devices with the newer firmware, and there's an increasing number of apps they can't run but have no discernible reason to be requiring the newest firmware version...

You think a 40GB drive can hold OS X, iLife, a couple of additional apps, and large sized iTunes and iPhoto libraries? You must have forgotten to include the "just kidding" smilie.
Let's do some quick math. A small iPhoto library like mine is 2000 photos. I have a 5 megapixel camera, half the images have red eye removed or some other change (iPhoto keeps the originals and the edited copies) so I have roughly 3000 files averaging 1.8MB each or 5.4GB. That's a small iPhoto library. You also want to hold a large iTunes library which implies a 30 or 60GB iPod owner.
So without going any further we need about 10GB for OS X and all the bundled apps, another 10GB for a fairly small iPhoto library, 15GB to half fill an iPod and 25GB to hold two hours of footage from your digital video camera. For all practical purposes, remembering that hard drives don't run well without a bunch of free space for editing, virtual memory, etc., we've just filled an 80GB hard drive (formatted capacity 74GB).
So I've just proved that the Mac mini is fatally flawed for many users because it's physically too small to hold a standard 3.5" HD. If it had been even one inch bigger it could have not only held more, it would have been less expensive to manufacture.
I was surprised when they announced the edu iMac at only $899 and so the announcement that it's now restricted to institutional purchase makes sense. Regarding the specs I figure Apple must have gotten a really great deal on 80GB HDs because in the retail market there's only a $10-20 difference between 80GB and 160GB. Heck there's only a $35 difference between 80GB and 250GB.
alep85 said that 80% of the consumer market doesn't need anything more than integrated graphics. Obviously those people are over the age of 30 and don't have children.You don't use the internal drive anyway. You build a 400GB FW drive with a $100 400GB ATA Drive and a $40 FW Case. That's your boot drive on these Minis not what comes inside them. Mini sits right on top of the FW Drive. Not a space problem. Runs way faster that way as well. I would never buy-use a mini without booting off a big external drive like this. :rolleyes:

You can have had the mobile space crown Apple, but you gave it to Google. Soon you will be third fiddle to Microsoft and Google.
You can't be serious. :eek: Third fiddle to Microsoft, the same company that dropped 1.3% when the Verizon iPhone released? :confused: Google and Apple have the momentum and there's nothing anybody, except MAYBE Palm/HP, can do about it. :apple:

That is the same deal at my school! It's a shame our schools are "mac ghetto". :p
The eMac G4's are new this year though!
Only a few of the labs had eMacs, last year it was all iMac G3's!!!
The sad part, is presenting a PowerPoint in class, and having to log-in with a G3 iMac, and try to present something, just to find out it is as slow as a turtle.
They really need to pick up some new iMacs.

It sounds like Nokia is bleeding money and needs an Apple hand-out. You can just smell the desperation.
Let me just sum this up in advance:
Apple sues someone: "They are protecting their IP/trademarks."
Someone sues Apple: "They are bleeding money and need an Apple handout" or "Patent troll"
Usually this is followed by someone with a 'shareholder' remark since they somehow believe that owning 7 shares of Apple should get them a direct line to the CEO.
Ut-oh, I'm not conforming to the groupthink... here comes about 40 'hater' comments.

3D audio cues? How would you get anything above 1D audio cues?
I presume it's a similar notion to the way video games utilize "3D stereo sound" -- the cue will be in relation to the position to the item's placement on the screen. (As it says in the original post.)
So if you have a window on the extreme left side of your screen, you'll hear VoiceOver out of the left speaker; if it's in the middle, you'll hear it equally in both, etc.
EDIT: Heeeeee. Much better explanation posted quicker than my meager attempts. Clearly Chef Medeski is a much better person than I should ever hope to be!

My guess is that iMovie 07 will have "green screen" effects like the ichat in leopard. If that is the case then it might need to wait for Leopard to be released.
that would be something worth upgrading to ilife 07 for.
