YouSendIt Express for Mac debuts
YouSendIt has released a new desktop Mac client for its popular file transfer service for businesses and individuals. YouSendIt Express allows you to send files as large as 2 GB each from your desktop without having to open the YouSendIt web interface. These days many of us either have .Mac accounts or personal web servers we can use to send large files across the web. The problem... Read More
Adobe updates After Effects to 8.0.2
Well, unfortunately it doesn’t fix Apple’s QuickTime 7.4 debacle, but Adobe has finally released After Effects 8.0.2. The update’s big feature is the newly added support for content from Panasonic P2 equipment, without transcoding or rewrapping. Adobe After Effects supports the Panasonic Op-Atom variant of MXF, which is the format used by Panasonic DV, DVCPRO,... Read More
Apple choosing iTunes Movie Rentals over its Professional customers
Is QuickTime 7.4 the worst QuickTime update Apple has ever released? That’s a tough question. It certainly has produced the most problems for me personally. I have mentioned before that I am an Adobe After Effects user. It’s how I feed my family, and pay for my house. Having a working copy of After Effects is a close third behind food and water on my short list of things... Read More
MacHeist ends tomorrow – What will Diggers write about?
MacHeist 2, perhaps the most widely over-publicized conglomeration of software in the history of the Mac, will see its shadow tomorrow and go back in its hole for another year. I have been strong, and managed to resist the bundle’s siren song up ’till now, but it looks like I will be breaking down tonight and picking it up. I’m a sucker for deadlines, and... Read More
Sinbad uses a Mac – take THAT, Microsoft!
(iPhone users click here to watch the video) Yes, the OS war is pretty much over now. Comedian Sinbad was captured on tape “Jingling All the Way” over to the VMware Fusion booth at Macworld, and singing both its praises, and those of the Mac. “If I have to…use it [Windows Stuff]…I just grab Fusion and stay on the same desktop. Quickness. That’s... Read More
The “iPhone SDK bitching” developers – A bunch of babies?
Above: Delphi managed to control a car using the iPhone’s mobile Safari. Now, I’m sure an iPhone SDK will lead to some amazing apps (and a ton of lame ones) but honestly, I think many developers started bitching a bit too early and too loudly last year when Apple announced the iPhone was going to allow for “Safari-only” apps. I understand the major arguments... Read More
A search engine that sucks (in a good way)
If you’re a glass-half-empty kind of person (like me), odds are you are annoyed by all the optimistic results traditional search engines provide. For instance, type “iPod” into Google, and you’ll be presented with Apple’s iPod site, iLounge, iPod Hacks, etc. All pretty rosy, pro-iPod sites. But, what if you were looking to buy an iPod for the first... Read More
Transmission v1.00 released – Let the thefts begin!
Sure, we all love STUFF, but who wants to pay for it? I myself drive to work in a stolen car and live in a squatter’s apartment. Yes, sticking it to the man seems like a full time job sometimes, but it is really the only way for me to get all that I am entitled to. Luckily, the good folks over at Transmission have made my life all that much easier by (finally) releasing version... Read More
Aero Quartet releases SimpleMovieX 3.6.2
Aero Quartet has released version 3.6.2 of SimpleMovieX, their lightweight Mac OS X movie editor. Sort of a cross between QuickTime Pro and Rogue Amoeba’s Fission, SimpleMovieX extends editing capabilities to other popular video formats AVI, MPEG and iPod MP4. The main advantage of native editing is speed and quality, since no re-encoding is required to save edited movies.... Read More
Where’s Gear Live’s “cease and desist” letter?
Separating fact from fiction is often no easy task, and this is even more true when it comes to the Mac rumor community. In these days of Photoshop and affordable versions of previously “pro-only” effects software (such as Maya and Shake), picking out the real “leaked” photos and videos from from the fan creations is increasingly difficult. To date there... Read More
