    Pixar to switch to Mac

    OK, just found this thread... I was at the Shake UG meeting and the switch is for desktop systems only. They will still use the rather large Linux renderfarm they already have. Among the reasons quoted for the switch was ease of use of the OS, simple to set up and maintain and the existance...

    iDVD Woes

    I am doing ok with Panther so far. Few of the issues discussed here so far... BUT! I cannot seem to get iDVD running. It will open but I can neither open an existing project or create a new one. Has anyone been using it yet? Thanks

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    I personally am tired of the "no software" argument. Seeing as how I have never seen an app that isn't either available on both platforms or has an equivalent that is as good or better. Unless you are talking about games. But I don't play games. I work on my computers .

    Attention Mac Pirates...

    Just a point about Shake vs. AE. It really depends on what and where you are working. I would never consider trying to do a 20 to 30 layer 2K composite in AE... at least not if I wanted to finish the shot this century. Shake is optimized for large files (think film res) and the node based...

    The iChatAV Startlers' Community

    I have tried just about everything with the exception of teamspeak. They all pretty much sucked. I am constantly amazed at the quality and ease of connecting with iChat AV. It aint that it is new that is revolutionary, it's that it just works. Oh, and Toast... it's me! The florida guy. Bon...

    whats the deal with this? [G5 bashing from slashdot]

    TEXAS, as an IT guy... why do your users have access to system files that would allow them to "muck" things up? Why arent you creating images and using NetBoot? Why aren't you at the very least using images for quick rebuilds? This all seems pretty straightforward.

    whats the deal with this? [G5 bashing from slashdot]

    Well, aside from having a pretty damned good utility in iTunes, there is Audion, CCDP, CD Player, Mercury, SimpleAudio and more. How is WinDVD infinitely better? I personally would use PowerDVD, but I still like the Mac's cleaner interface. Plus the video quality is better. I really have...

    whats the deal with this? [G5 bashing from slashdot]

    This is pretty much the attitude of most IT people I have ever met. I know more than you so you are all morons. The fact is TEXAS that you don't know how to properly administer a mac shop. I have run and been in shops that have huge numbers of macs as well as the "average operator", and...

    Apple just doesn't get it.

    Got news for you. The news inside Intel (which you won't hear outside) is that the new processors are not making the higher ups happy. Yields are regularly showing minimal increases in speeds at lower clock rates. Looks like Intel will have to start debunking the Mhz Myth themselves. And no...

    Apple just doesn't get it.

    Let me ask you this. Was your sister surfing the web on IE? If so I think we know where her perceptions come from. I have removed IE and only use the other browsers.

    Getting to see you through iChat AV...

    Just got done video chatting with maktek.(bobw) OH MY GOD! I have used other solutions (Netmeeting, iVisit, etc.) and none of them are this simple, clean and easy to set up and use. PERIOD. There was no latency going from S.Florida to Philly at all. We might as well ahve been in the...

    Getting to see you through iChat AV...

    Tried the audio chat with a friend. The quality is absolutely based on the quality of the mic. I was using a Sony DV cam for the video and audio. he told me it sounded great. he was using the old apple mic and his sound was fuzzy and had a lot of feedback. I am running to the Apple store...
