It is shit like THIS that makes me laugh in the face of people who hate on the iPhone. There are so many gems in the app store that it's not even funny, yet morons with facile thought processes deride it as if nothing but fart apps exist. Please. Just get one and stop being jealous of anyone who has one. Save us your angst. #apps
@TheSonOfKrypton: Your butt works better for farting and your computer works better for editing. I guess if you long for mediocrity there's an app for just about anything. #apps
@d1zzle: Ahhh, yes. Because when I'm 15 minutes away from a medical school interview and need access to a list of relevant school data and interview tips or when I need instant access to a copy of negative TB test I took months before before I'm allowed to shadow an ER doc I should really just have my full computer with me. Please. Child games work better on children. Keep that in mind. #apps
@TheSonOfKrypton: both of your examples seem to me like you're just unprepared. you don't just walk past the hospital and say "oh, I'm going to shadow an ER doc today". Same with an interview. It's not like you didn't know about the interview until 15 minutes prior to the start time. You have plenty of time to get ready for those things, and should have been prepared.
That said, I don't think there's anything wrong with the iPhone, but it's just a phone. No iPhone/iPod Touch app is revolutionary, or even necessary in the very least. #apps
@psychiccheese: Oh. Nice movement of the goalpost genius. Now, we're going from "these apps are mediocre and you should just use a real computer" to "you're unprepared"? Please. Both of those examples were real life examples where I couldn't have gotten by without my phone. The ER doc shadowing occurrence was valid. The secretaries who slotted me in never once told me I needed that paperwork until I got there. So don't gimme that preparedness crap. The interview example was valid as well. I'm not meaning to imply you haven't been on any, but on a med school interview, you're nervous as shit. And any little bit of advice helps. I had read those tips days before. It didn't matter. It helped reading them seconds before. And so did using my phone to google the shit out of the doctor who was going to interview me, 30 minutes before the interview took place. Having insider information is a damn good thing. Don't attempt to move the goalpost on me again. #apps
@TheSonOfKrypton: You're not replying to the same person, hence you cannot use your fancy little expression "Nice movement of the goalpost genius." #apps
I bought '09 for the video stabilization. Turns out (and this isn't the fault of iMovie, according to a smart, non-Apple guy on the discussion forums) that when you record using a CMOS sensor that alter the video in some way ( stabilization) that you stand a chance of getting what they're calling the Jello affect. The video becomes slightly warbly. Its still viewable but there clearly something not right about it.
Unfortunately my new camcorder has a CMOS sensor. I hope there's something that can be done.
@Bruno Crosier: I'm having trouble on Safari and its been happening a lot lately. When I click the play button it flashes to another image and then back to the original image without actually playing the video. ANybody know whats going on? My Safari has been acting weird lately.
One thing I'm wondering about though (and haven't seen answered) is the quality of exporting movies from iMovie '09. iMovie '06 was able to export movies at higher quality than iMovie '08, so some people used iMovie '06 over '08 for that reason alone.
So I'm wondering if iMovie '09 is now able to rival '06 (and the final cuts) in terms of export quality, or is it still like '08 and can't export in super unadulterated non-compressed goodness?
