As an Apple retail employee, I can assure you that MSFT poached waaaay more than a handful of or talent. Apparently, offering people piles of cash to switch teams is still a go in the business world. Who would have thunk it? Maybe that's why I'm headed back to the freelance world this week. :)
I just need to blow off some steam on how much iMovie sucks. Keynote creates a mov file and imovie wont import it all or or even recognize its a movie. Plus it lags. I could do this faster and easier in parallels with windows movie maker.. ugh. #gizmodoremainders
@clR3vv: While I have absolutely no idea why you posted that here, I totally agree with you, so much so that I downloaded SimpleMovieX not an hour ago. (QuickTime Pro users got screwed by QuickTime X, and I ain't touching iMovie for merging clips and stuff.) So yeah, go ahead, vent away. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: Youz guyz sound like you need yourselves some final cut action. That'll do anything you need to damn near any format of video you throw at it, it even works with video sources in different codecs in the same timeline, and you can do SO MUCH with it... I wish it took better advantage of Snow Leopard... and I wish it weren't so damn worth it... but even final cut express will do a lot, and is certainly worth the price if you use it at all. #gizmodoremainders
@Redrum4breakfast: Oh I've got Final Cut Express, but my video editing needs are super simple, basically what QuickTime Pro used to do (merge, trim, occasionally rotate) that QuickTime X now does not. Hence the SimpleMovieX. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: why didn't you keep quicktime 7 pro when you installed 10.6? I did for stuff like converting mkv files to mp4... it still works great! You should try re-installing it... Quicktime X is a joke as far as export options, making it's trimming abilities useless. Although, I do use it to convert downloaded TV shows to iPhone format, which it does super quick! #gizmodoremainders
Agreed. Real men admit their wrong and can actually say "Sorry". Pussies are too afraid of looking like lesser men, and don't apologize. #gizmodoremainders
Wow. Jim needs a new career. He totally blew it. Especially if its true he didn't credit his source (irrespective of how wrong that source may be).
That said, your link to the free anti-virus software doesn't instill confidence in that product. For $50 a year, I'd rather go with a company with a proven track record to be sure I don't get a virus-infested door stop.
The 8-hour battery life spec is pure bullshit. I have a Macbook Air and a new Macbook Pro, and get nothing past 2.5 hours out of either one of them.
@deanbmmv: Torrenting CS3 or 4 is not that fantastic, since both of these are like Windows in that they require online activation, and cracking them can have inconsistent results.
It's CNBC... What do they know?!? He's just a pretty face reading off of a cue-card... Should I go to the Apple Store and start asking for my free copy of Photoshop?!?
This is akin to movie actors telling me who to vote for; just because he's a "Mac guy" and has the opportunity to plug Apple products doesn't make doing it responsible, especially when the vast majority of what he says is a blatant lie. I hope that there is some accountability for this - a manufacturer like Sony pulling its CNBC advertising would be a pretty big deal, I'd imagine.
@drewkkake: After noticing your nick I am going to have to say that I would like to know (not see) that this reporter was forced to film a gay bukkake video as penance.
