I downloaded iOS 6 for my iPad 2 a few hours ago, and am in the process of doing the same for my iPad touch (Yeah, I am just a bit invested in the Apple ecosystem, known to some as a “walled garden”). One of the first things that I noticed was that, at least […]
It goes without saying that if you’re into Apple at all, this Wednesday will be of interest to you. The rumor mill has it that Apple is not only going to introduce a refreshed iPod touch, but a new iPhone and more interestingly (at least for me) a new iPad that’s supposedly designed to compete […]
You might have heard about the brouhaha between Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc. over Samsung’s (supposedly) stealing Apple’s intellectual property. No matter where you come down in the debate, I have always been of the opinion that the more information you have, the better off you are. You have probably heard a lot about Apple’s […]
Man! Yesterday there was an earthquake in Washington, DC, and now Steve Jobs is no longer Apple’s CEO. Could this be a sign of the Apocalypse that the religious-minded have been talking about for so long? I hope that his health wasn’t the primary motivator and that he continues to play a role at the […]
Edited 7/22 1155, 1216 According to cnet, Apple has sold 1 million copies of Lion (Mac OS X 10.7). What’s most amazing about that number is not only that it was released last Wednesday, but for the first time Apple has issued a OS (operating system) that was downloadable via the App Store ( an […]
Edited 731 7/22 I don’t know about this rumor, but it’s too fascinating to let go. According to Deadline, Apple is considering purchasing Hulu for $2 billion. What’s most interesting is that the deal would include two years of exclusive programming from NBCUniversal (now owned by Comcast), Fox (NewsCorp) and Disney (who happens to have […]
When I have posted video from Conan O’ Brien, it usually had something to do with him skewering movies (such as his “Thor” parodies), though I was surprised to learn that he’s aimed his sights at Apple. And speaking of Final Cut Pro X, here’s video of someone actually using the program.
Today Apple released Final Cut Pro X, their flagship video editing application. It’s available via the Apple App Store for $299. The prior version, Final Cut Studio, is in high demand by movie studios for film editing, though it remains to be seen if Final Cut Pro X is adopted as enthusiastically. At first, seeing […]
I recently saw the trailer for “The Guard” via Apple, and it looks like fun. I tend to be drawn to movies that involve culture-clashes (as long as everyone is treated in a dignified fashion) and this one looks like a doozy. One can imagine that Don Cheadle’s FBI character will find himself repelled by […]
I wasn’t planning on writing anything about Final Cut Pro X till I either got my hands on a copy, or reviews started appearing in the wild, though I changed my mind when I received an email on the subject. Frankly, there isn’t much in the way of visuals, though it does give information about […]
