    I see a big downside to Apple's decision to build FCP on iMovie's foundation. Apple will be getting tons of FCP feature requests from former iMovie users, asking for things that are easy to use and more automatic, and many high-end things that pros want to be added will take longer to implement because of it. There are lots of things in FCPX that are clearly geared toward the iMovie upgrader who is used to things being drop-dead simple- and yes, they can be turned off, but the time that Apple spent developing them is time they could have spent focusing on high-end pro stuff.
    This is exactly what I was afraid of when I first was reading about Final Cut Pro X but then I thought about it some and I actually now tend to disagree. Yes it's a bit annoying that everyone and their dog can now have a professional video editing package (Or I guess just a piece of software now, not a package) and think they are awesome cause they know how to use it and will force us all to watch movies of their baby doing... nothing, in HD. But that aside I don't really see many down sides (thus far) to the new Final Cut. I don't think that Apple will be spending tons of time that they would otherwise be spending building shake or something, adding features that make Final Cut easy to use for two reasons. First is that most programs are easy to use if your not doing much with them. So I doubt that Apple will be spending TONS of time doing it, I mean imagine you just switched from iMovie, certainly there will be people whining to apple that FCP is more complex then iMovie but really it won't be a ton. The second is that if Apple doesn't make much money on it, they won't spend much time on it. So any time spent adding to their user base by making features that are easy to use would not be spent working on motion or something it would be spent working on iPods or... Whatever. Apple is a company and people sometimes forget that. Apple will do whatever it thinks will make the most money. Time spent on Final Cut will only continue to be spent on final cut as long as final cut is profitable. People are very exited about this price cut. I am not, because now Apple has to sell way more of them to keep it as profitable, thus time will be spent making features that will draw people in or it will be spent on other things entirely.

    See you all on MR in 2007 for 'Anyone for cricket MkII' thread!

    Yeah it's been fun, let's do it again then when we retain the Ashes ;-)

    I just hope all this interest doesn't go the same way as after we won the 'Egg Chasing' World cup in Oz..... but then I suppose all the big players were either injuried or retired when they got back..... at least this team is young and has years ahead of them.

    EDIT: Now we need to go for over taking AUS in the ICC rankings:

    AUS 127
    ENG 119
    IND 111

    What?

    iTunes have never been a part of the iLife suite and it have absolutely nothing to do with iLife except for media browser type of deals.

    It was originally in iLife but has since been removed. I guess we're both right. Or wrong.

    It's minor news, I guess, but I'm SOOOOOO glad to hear it. Now I can listen to "Before These Crowded Streets" and "OK Computer" without the annoying gaps!

    With the live icon preview in Leopard (as well as Vista's Live Icons), you actually get to see the word document, text or PDF file, web link, etc.. as it really exists as the icon. It's just another way of conveying more information to the user at the expense of more system overhead..
    I dont get it - file preview already shows this information for PDFs TXT JPGs but admittedly not other apps

    yes.

    you guys keep in mind that ONLY FCP is 299. I think Final Cut Pro STUDIO will be around 500-600 Dollar. Still a "Pro-User" pricing so to speak. So most Pro's will go for the suite anyway. I think it's great that Apple is selling the programm itself for this price. It keeps Final Cut Pro alive and I hope that it will be updated more frequently because hopefully more people will use it.

    So, are the days of "buy the full version/suit once - get a upgrade for 1/3 of the price with your license" over?? You have to buy the bits and pieces of the FC Suit seperately from release to release - although a bit cheaper - but far from the good deal the upgrades used to be...??

    It's a shame the innings ended on such a bad decision but England got away with a catch dropped and then a deaf umpire!!

    And that Warne press conference was hilarious. Madame Tussad's wax likeness and he was asked if he preferred the size of the likeness. What a sissy for walking out!

    To the English fellows... am I right in thinking the match is sold out? And is the country showing interest?

    SD, I've stuck with Leopard because I use a Duel Adapter to download Panasonic P2 cards via express card slot. An upgrade to Snow Leopard would break this functionality and I'd have to use the camera via FW or USB to download. That would be quite an inefficient use of precious shoot time on set.

    I've considered a dual Leopard/SL boot set-up but haven't gotten around to trying it. I did try the Duel Adapter under a Windows/Boot Camp scenario but it didn't work. I'd love to upgrade, but at this point, it's more trouble than it's worth for me.

    If anyone has an old 15" Powerbook they want to donate to the cause, I'd upgrade my 5,1 to SL w/ 8gb ram in a heartbeat!

    Thanks,

    DH

    Even odder, IMO, why would someone stick with Leopard on any Intel Mac is beyond me. Upgrade to Snow Leopard already! It's stable and generally uses *less* resources than Leopard on the same hardware. I loathe using my Leopard based machines at this point.

    This is getting exciting.

    The billion dollar question: just content purchased from iTunes or all compatible (audio) files in one's iTunes library?

    Get real, no way are the music labels going to allow them to do this unless they limit it to music purchased from iTunes.

    UMTS/HSDPA is NOT CDMA based. It is actually TDMA based, like GSM. While it does have a CDMA over-the-air interface, it is intended to replace GSM and its other sister technologies. EVDO is intended for the CDMA carriers (Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, Cricket, metroPCS) and will be a far cry from defacto as over 80% of the world is still using GSM. And second generation GSM is still amazing technology, and it and CDMA cannot be compared, just like apples and oranges or Macs and PCs.

    You're right in that systems like EVDO can't be used with UMTS, but you're introducing inaccuracies in the way you argue it. UMTS runs over a variety of air interfaces, none of which are TDMA.

    W-CDMA is a CDMA air interface, like IS-95 (which is the air interface specification that's frequently referred to by the name "CDMA", but this is misleading as the words refer to a type of multiplexing, not a specification and protocol. IS-95 is a specification and protocol. Likewise IS-136, also known as D-AMPS, was frequently called "TDMA" in the US, but both GSM and IS-136 use TDMA air interfaces, using completely different implementations. GSM's is actually wideband and frequency hopping, making it a spread spectrum TDMA system.)

    UMTS runs over W-CDMA.

    A modification to W-CDMA is HSDPA. This is still a CDMA air interface (it's only a modified W-CDMA.) UMTS runs over HSDPA too, and indeed that's the air interface used for UMTS by Cingular.

    Yet another modification to W-CDMA is HSUPA. This is also still CDMA, and UMTS runs over that.

    While I'm just throwing facts out there, UMTS can also run over 802.11, using a system called UMA. (GSM can do the same thing)

    Anyway, nothing about UMTS is TDMA. It's using CDMA (except for 802.11 which is an essay by itself.) It's not the same CDMA specification and protocol as Sprint/Verizon, but it does use a CDMA-based air interface.

    What are the differences? Well, the big one is that Sprint/Verizon's CDMA, which is known as IS-95 and IS-2000, and/or cmdaOne and CDMA2000, use 1.5MHz slices of spectrum, whereas W-CDMA uses 5MHz slices of spectrum. This, and other protocol and encoding changes, means W-CDMA is better at handling a variety of different types of data (in terms of the reserved bandwidth you need for audio/video, and more bursty pattern you need for web access, etc), though supposedly it degrades poorly as you go further from a tower.

    For more information, take a look at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS).

    Server class cpu, ram, motherboard, ps, and case. That's why Mac Pros are so expensive.

    It's not meant to be a consumer level box.

    Hence that's why the layman will think its overpriced.

    Not true. Soybean based biodiesel is made by pressing the beans to retrieve the oil. The soy bean pulp is a "byproduct" of soy biodiesel production. Conversely, the bean oil is a "byproduct" of soybean based foods. Hence, the two are quite complementary, and not at all exclusive.

    I still wonder how much land would have to be devoted to soybeans to begin to produce enough biodiesel from it. Still, I don't doubt that biodiesel is going to be an important source of fuel going forward. But availability is always going to be much more limited than petro-fuels.

    And yes, corn ethanol was a bad idea. George W. Bush liked it, that should be a warning sign right there.

    Now this I agree with you on! Both my wife and I walk to work. We live in an urban area and both our offices are less than 1 mile from our home. Sadly though, many US cities are full of urban sprawl, and people who willingly live long distances from work and sit in long traffic lines twice each day.

    I walk to work myself, I am about 1.3 miles from the office. I made sacrifices to relocate close to work, but I'd rather walk half an hour each way than drive. I still use my car often, but a walking commute, even for such a short distance, saves a surprising amount of fuel.

    Business customers will get it before the end of the year. It will be a half arsed release that even Microsoft doesn't expect anyone to actually deploy,...
    Have you actually used the Vista RC builds? Hardly half-assed.

    Vista will be ready soon. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to get Vista loaded onto systems for the Saturnalia buying orgy - so Microsoft was forced to delay the consumer release until after the winter solstice.

    In any event, this will probably mean that in January that Vista will be a pretty solid system. Microsoft will be able to find and fix issues found during the business rollout, so that the January release can be "service pack 1", or at least contain a patch rollup.

    It seems to me that the .1 updates to OSX have come pretty soon after release for the 10.3 and 10.4 - so there's nothing new about a bunch of odd problems showing up when a new system is released to the public.

    A significant amount of the news on this site (arguably, the most interesting news) is a result of the leaking of trade secrets.

    So what's our view? "Give us all the interesting info, then arrest the people who leaked it to us!" ? Doesn't that seem a tiny bit... hypocritical?

    competition, as many pointed out, is always a good thing! it leeds to better products and lower prices, which benefits us users.

    i have to agree with those who think that iOS needs an overhaul. as far as i can remember, it hasn't changed much since its initial release.
    i think apple has to add an app drawer just like android has and let you put only those apps you choose on your homescreens. i know, they added folders to iOS, so that you can organize your apps, but this isn't the same.
    further, i hear many complains about the notification system of iOS.
    these are 2 points apple need to address, if you ask me. snappiness is good, but it's not the only thing that counts.

    As much as I'd like a new macbook or iMac with a 750gb hard disk, I think I'm going to stick with what I've got until 802.11n and HD/Blueray burners are standardised on the mac.

    I'd personally like to see a smaller macbook revision, for ultra traveling, possibly with extra securty for the traveler....

    I gotta ask:

    What ever happened to "One More Thing"?

    This keynote was kinda sad in a few ways, don't you think? I hope Apple is saving the coolest features still hidden at this point, like Steve pointet out... And Steve does look a bit ill...

    From my experience with CF it is a very strong and light-weight material but I doubt it would be a good idea to replace something like the glass backside of the iphone with carbon fiber as it is prone to damage when pressure is applied to a very limited area (think of iphone + keys in your pocket)

    For example cf-bikes are great until you have anything but a minor crash...the even the smallest crack can be devestating to the structural integrity...

    You're comparing a bike hitting a rock at 25 mph while carrying a 200 lb man with a cell phone in your pocket?

    Whatever you are doing that would damage CF in your pocket with keys is going to rip the flesh off your leg. :eek:

    If there are "top secret" features, I would guess they would have to be apps if it's going to be released at MWSF? There couldn't be significant changes to the operating system without developer testing before then. Unless they are going to introduce the "top secret" features after Vista has shipped (someone was saying that's next month?) But even that seems like a really quick testing phase for developers.
