Sony = Sometime, Only Not Yet Seriously, though, they needed to get out of the movie business. It's been a drag on the company. Sony products are inflicted upon me at work. They did not used to be this way in the U-Matic, Betacam, and Betacam…

If Apple does anything with their own CPU, IMO expect a totally different line of desktop Macs, with some sort of iPhone or iPad-like interface. I would expect the OS to be a further convergence of iOS and Mac OS X, running ARM stuff only, unless a…

I don't see Apple going for silver-zinc battery technology in any new MBP or MacBook. Even with the current draw of a comparatively low-powered laptop computer, I just don't see it happening. (And Yes, I will eat virtual crow if I'm wrong here.) …

FWIW, my buddy's shop that I've freelanced in from time to time has purchased four Blu-Ray players. I've got one of them to test. My pal also bought HD-DVD at a firesale price, simply because he could encode HD video cheaply enough for trade show…

Spend the money, stick with Panasonic's offering: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-e...00000000005702 Works quite nicely with FCS. It's not one's "A" camera, but the video it produces cuts quite nicely as a "B" or "C" camera, and its size a…

Blu-ray's biggest obstacle is His Steveness -- even though the latest version of Toast works quite nicely for burning them (it doesn't try to reincode -- yay!). However, I wouldn't do a professional project with Toast. It's okay for dailies, thou…

Wow. What a fuss. I suppose if Apple *really* wanted to make money, and shut down the cloners, the company could introduce its own USB dongle for EFI. Box it, sell it as a bundle with Mac OS X for those interested. We'd know what the "Apple …

Ohhh, this is so delicious. Crispin Porter's ad campaign I'm most familiar with are the recent rash of Burger King TV ads in the USA. They're the ones which feature giant hamburgers going up to competitors' drive-through windows (or front doors)…

I'd say I'm 95% satisfied. I also think the software needs some more work -- it really does feel like a 2.0 release. Cut and paste is a serious omission, IMO. Voice dialing would be nice. Spotlight would really be nice. Overall, though, I t…

I'm not at this point convinced the problem is with iPhone 3G. A couple months ago, the Motorola v180 that had been our primary mobile phone just flippin' quit. Calls on AT&T's network in my area were cutting off. The blasted thing just wou…

I'm not expecting to see my wife's 8 GB iPhone 3G (ordered 16 July from my local AT&T store) until 16 August.

I do not have a BSEE, but I've got to think there's some way to make a iPhone 3G dock connector cable to FW400 that would convert the FW400 power spec to something iPhone 3G could handle. Perhaps someone better versed in this engineering discipli…
