I cant remember where, but a few weeks ago I read that Apple had join a consortium that was discussing the possibility of creating a new video port standard to replace not only DVI, but also HDMI. This would hopefully unite TV and computer video cab…

People should really give Adobe a break on this one. Think about it this way: 1) The overwhelming majority of creative users on the Mac side use PowerMacs. The minority are on PowerBooks. A small fraction use iMacs or iBooks. Only their second la…
