MacWorld on why you should use OS X Spaces

A great article on why you should use OS X spaces. I love it personally, though I think you had more control with older versions. And it is especially great for laptops, but I use it to separate power apps on my macpro and couldn't function without it at this point.It is now part of Mission Control (though should be it's own thing). It makes your mac have a virtually bigger space, as if you have a bigger desktop and are only seeing part of it and can set individual apps to different spaces.

Using Compound Clips instead of Projects in FCP X

Dare Dreamer Magazine has an article on using compound clips instead of projects to make new sequences, since new projects take up a lot more hard drive space.Sounds interesting, though it does just further highlight the continued issues with FCP X. Not being able to share renders between Projects (which are sequences in FXP X) seems ridiculous, and not very power user friendly.Still just can't see myself every trying FCP X again, not when Premiere Pro CS6 and AVID Media Composer are out there.

Appleinsider has a rumor of 2GB SSD’s from Apple for the new MacPro

Appleinsider has heard rumors of Apple working on 2 GB SSD's for the new MacPro with a standard SATA connector.And while that would be awesome, at least for a boot drive, the cost would be so prohibitively expensive that it would be useless! And the fusion drives scare me as if one drive goes you lose everything (though you should be backing it up anyway). Still the most hopefully thing out of this is that maybe we will be getting a new MacPro soon. I SURE HOP SO!!!

I Am Film Guy on Moving from Mac to HP

I AM FILM GUY has a good article on moving from Mac to HP.I still worry about articles like this as it seems like they may be payed or getting gear for free (you can never tell), and they never go into the OS differences of moving from Mac to Windows, but you never know. I have been seriously considering the switch because Windows machines are so much newer and CUDA support so much better.I thought about a Puget Systems custom system though.Who knows, maybe the next MacPro will change my mind, if it ever comes out.

MacPro no longer available in Europe

As Apple Insider says, the Mac Pro is no longer available in Europe due to recycling regulations.At this point Apple just needs to announce the next itineration even if it has a while before it comes out, or many people will be moving to windows machines in the near term, and yes the new iMac's are nice, but they really don't replace a MacPro!

PVC open Letters to Apple

The ProVideo Coalition has 2 open letters to Apple.Why do Mac's deal with external monitors haphazardly.andWhy does FCP X deal with i/o haphazardly.Unfortunately I am not sure how much Apple listens anymore (though they seem to have on the MacPro), but we can hope.
