Quote: Private property doesn't exist without the laws, judicial system, and enforcement of the government, so keep that in mind. It's not intended to be out of reach of government regulation or legal power. Many on the right like to talk about pr…

Here's the problem with audio. Apple does a great job with their digital audio workstation (DAW) Logic X. They sell it for $200. Avid, which makes Pro Tools, Apple's big competitor in audio, sells their DAW for $700. Apple is killing Avid a…

Apple needs to do tv, cars, and home automation. I know Apple has their Apple tv but they need to move from hobby stage to full blown cable replacement. They need live tv for sports and news and they need to offer shows a la cart. I could see …

So, now that Apple has announced their new Mac Pro, I can see how well I did in my predictions. 1. I predicted Apple would announce the next big thing soon, possibly at the keynote, previewing what they were doing with the Mac Pro. Check. …

hmm, I too think spinning disks still have a place in today's computing. I just think the main boot drive should be SSD. This is the drive that should come standard on the new Mac Pro. What you want to add extra is up to you. If you want…

My couple year old laptop I am typing on has no spinning hard drive. Why is it so outlandish to suggest this for the next great computer? My internal flash drive is so much faster than a spinning hard drive. I think this is a no brainer really.…

If I were running Apple, I would do a number of things. I would work to get ARM chips faster and see if you can get to x86 speeds. I would also be pushing Intel to bring their wattage needs down for the x86 yet still keep up the speed. No need …

Quote: Since the OP kicked this off with an ARM-based Mac Pro, I figured this wasn't a reality-based thread. You can ask one Olympian to lift 500 pounds or you can ask 10 normal people to help lift 50 pounds. Which is reality bas…

When it comes to UI design, people usually prefer what they know to that which is new. That is why so many people stick with Windows even though it has been vastly inferior over the years. Once they finally get over the initial hump, they find out…

I've used FCP since version 1. I have used it for a number of tv shows and I support production houses that do 100s of tv shows. So I know FCP inside and out. I know its strengths and its weaknesses. I also have used iMovie since version 1. Not…

What is it with the iMovie-like comments? I see people saying that all over the web. Do all these people who say negative things even use FCP? Have they even used the latest version of iMovie? I find the new look vastly improved over the old F…

I wish Apple would release the iWork apps for Windows and sell them for $3.99 a piece or something cheap like that. As long as it reads and writes MS Word file formats, most people would rather buy that then pay for another MS Office upgrade. Appl…

Who is John Gault?

How about Apple buy out our government. It is in need of a hostile takeover by somebody who knows how to turn a business around.

I've used FCP for tv shows and love what it can do. But it also has always frustrated me by how hard it is to use in a few areas. It is not that I am dumb - I setup fiberchannel SANs for multiseat multicam HD production houses. When I first saw…

If Apple dropped Aperture then what would happen if Adobe threatened to drop their apps for OS X? That damage would be catastrophic. Apple cannot afford to be held hostage by Adobe. Think Adobe would never do that? Maybe not, but what happen…

Yamaha Pro Audio announced they are working on new ideas including high speed interconnect for their future devices. Sure wish they would use something like this Light Peak for all their future cabling. Hopefully Apple and Intel are trying to get …

I know this thread is under applications but I think it should probably best be under the OS folder. We have Core Audio, Core Image, Core Video -- why not Core Pages, Core Numbers, Core Presentation? How many word processors, spreadsheet programs,…

I find this topic very interesting and am surprised that more people don't bring it up. I have a theory that Apple is quietly working to fulfill the vision of Open Doc. In the past, Open Doc was a bridge too far. Today, I think it could be done. …

If Apple has all the source code for Windows, then wouldn't it have the ability to probe the source code for flaws? They could then create viruses to hack away at MS. Or just give a bunch of hackers the source code and they would gladly do the dir…
