    Aperture Review

    Glad to see Ars Technica is as thorough as ever. It almost seems as though Aperture is so fundamentally flawed (on purpose for speed?) that it may never be fixed.

    TiVo shows on your iPod

    I'm glad I have absolutely no interest in this, otherwise it sounds like I'd be frustrated. Aren't there direct-to-Mac TV services where you could record programs on the Mac (I have no idea, though I gather you can on the PC)? And then you could just run an automated batch process on those...

    Lemmings in OS X?

    I don't supose Lemmings ever got ported for OS X? I know it's playable in Classic, but I don't install Classic/OS 9 any more and want my kids to play Lemmings in a couple of years when they're old enough.

    Fave old school Mac games

    I concur with all the obvious ones. I'll repeat just for kicks the ones that I actually played. 1. Dark Castle (it's still fun!) 2. Marathon 3. Lemmings (quite possibly the most inventive game ever) 4. Doom And the old text games: Zork Liesure Suit Larry! Leather Goesses of Phobos...

    What apps are ready

    Avid to be in sync (PC/Mac) mid-2006 http://videosystems.com/e-newsletters/HDVatwork_11142005/#1 Not that I care since I'm an FCO guy, but I stumbled don it, so…

    PowerPoint Navigation Woes

    Or how about this? Is there a way to have a slide navigate from one to another without any interaction? I can't find a way. Like, if I could have slide #10 jump back to slide #4 (WITHOUT requiring a click), that would be fine. I could work with that.

    PowerPoint Navigation Woes

    I'm designing a PowerPoint for a touchscreen kiosk. I want to loop a front Intro of four slides. When the user clicks Menu it takes them to a menu, which has its own nav options. However, if the user does nothing, I want it to go back to the Intro loop. I am using the Custom Shows option to...

    What apps are ready

    http://www.luxology.com/press/release/061005_Lux_MacIntel.aspx Twenty minute port. Good thing they're using XCode. Quark. Who cares? Quark is dead to me. Adobe will probably saunter in around mid 2007. Adobe's CEO followed up on the Intel announcement by saying that the transition will...

    Leopard to Feature Redesigned Finder

    I also flat out disagreed with many of To's dock issues, especially the one about having a specific "hit" area for activating the Dock. Is he crazy? That is a horrible idea. I love being able to whip my mouse down to the bottom of the screen (ANY area at the bottom) and get my dock. I do...

    Leopard to Feature Redesigned Finder

    Those are pretty good points, actually. Here's some more: 1. How about more and better previews (Illustrator for example. I mean, they can bring in AI files beuatifully into Keynote, do the same for the Finder previews. After all, they're really just PDfs these days. Same for Indesign files...

    Apple releases "Aperture" software for pro photographers.

    I go to this site for ridiculously in-depth camera reviews. www.dpreview.com I have a Canon EOS 20D. My colleague has a Nikon D70. I'm not a photographer, so I don't know enough to get into the nitty gritty, but I do know that we did a side by side of both cameras on a shoot. I found the...

    Apple releases "Aperture" software for pro photographers.

    Fryke, What I'm suggesting is that the Bridge already IS the center for CS2. Aperture wouldn't really add much of anything. Admittedly, I haven't looked deep enough to Aperture to find more advantages/differences to CS2/Bridge, so I may change my mind down the road. I did, however, try...

    Apple releases "Aperture" software for pro photographers.

    Actually, CS2 pretty much covers everything I saw in the Aperture demos. Granted, I haven't taken advantage of CS2's features along this path, but when I was playing with it, it looks almost identical to Aperture to be honest. What I'm really talking about is CS2's Bridge, which is the...

    Dual Core PowerMacs Tomorrow

    And not just a 512MB card, but a real workstation card, the first we've had on the Mac. The 3D people should be ecstatic. And I don't mean the gamers. I'm already thrilled with Motion on a Dual 2.7 with a stock video card. I imagine Motion on a Quad G5 with the high end card will be a full...

    Someone Say new Powerbooks

    Before Tiger came out I was like, Widgets are overhyped. Then when Tiger came out I played around with Widgets, installed a few, actually used a couple for a bit. Now, I have to say, I really don't use them. It's not that there aren't useful widgets, it's just that I already use...

    Is there a Canopus Pro Coder for mac?

    Compressor is the best option for OS X. I think it's only available as part of the Final Cut suite though. What's really great about Compressor is that you can make Droplets. So basically you just drag your video files on the Droplet and it encodees it based on that Droplet's settings. Also, if...

    Apple iTunes - 6.0

    I for one have absolutely no interest in a tiny screen video iPod first of all and have equal interest (zero) in 320x240 video, especially if I'm going to pay for it. I may have been slightly interested in the video iPod if it output full res DV footage (720x480) or even 640x480 to a TV. That...

    Apple & Exposé

    My PC colleague bought that when it was first announced. It was very buggy and caused quite a few system-wide problems, so he deleted. Also, it didn't quite work as well or as smoothly as the native Expose. I imagine it's been improved since then though. One thing is for sure, you can bet...

    Airport Express no longer detected

    I was trying to setup an Airport Express to act as a remote station with my Airport Extreme. Somewhere along the line, things got screwed up and I can no longer detect the Express. Is there a way to "reset" the Express or otherwise force it to be detected? I should be able to just plug the...

    Symantec's bashing..

    Fortunately, Apple has been smarter than its fans. They make very little mention about security. If they started advertising how invincible it (currently) is, about two days later we'd all get hit.
