by: 
 11/21/2011 11:08 AM

How the $300 Mini Hackintosh turned into a $750 beast
by: 
 11/16/2011 9:50 AM
I was in New York City for a Samsung event focused on SSDs and gaming on PCs last month. There wasn’t much in the way of new information, but Samsung gave me one of their SATA III 256GB 830 SSDs to try out. These are within a few bytes per second of the fastest SATA3 SSDs money can buy, so I was pretty excited to get home and throw it in a Mac. Read More

Edit Geek: Media Composer 6
by: 
 11/03/2011 2:23 PM
Avid’s flagship editing product, Media Composer, has been on the scene for a little over twenty years and has looked and worked roughly the same way for that whole time. Today saw the announcement of the first major overhaul since Media Composer’s numbering was restarted with the release of Adrenaline in 2003… And it’s a big overhaul – not only has it been rewritten entirely as a 64-bit application but it also looks different with a redesigned UI.

by:

Over the past year the hard drive producers have been hit by a one-two punch that has them scrambling to find ways to produce enough hard drives to satisfy demand. Hard drives prices are expected to jump up by 20% or more over the next week, with no end in sight.

Back in March the Japanese earthquake and Tsunami created massive supply chain issues.

Then this October another natural disaster struck Asia. Thailand has been hit by massive flooding. Thailand as a country is the second-la Read More

adobe + iridas = fcp dead
by: 
 9/28/2011 12:18 PM
You can view the official press release here and read a nice explanation of the acquisition here. As history repeats itself and Adobe snaps up a $20K+ color grading app just like Apple did when they acquired Silicon Color, distributors of Final Touch, I am here to officially pronounce Final Cut Studio dead. Maybe you were hanging on with Apple’s recent move to put copies of FCS 3 back on the shelves but I’ve got a 500 dollar door stop, err, copy of Shake that serves as a reminder of Apple’s re Read More

by: 
 9/12/2011 2:18 PM
A fast and flexible RAID drive that will keep data safe within its solid and sleek design. Here's a fact that everyone can agree on: losing data stinks.
