Still no MacPro release as of December 17th

Everyone was expecting today to be the day fro the release of the new MacPro as Apple usually does it on Tuesdays, but as of 7:50 AM at least, the site still shows the basic MacPro information, but no info on upgrade costs, as it is suspected that these machines will quickly go up in price.

MacRumors does have a list of suspected prices for the upgrades, but until Apple actually releases it is all estimation.

Looks like an added $600 to go up to the D700 with 6GB of RAM and $800 for a 1TB SSD and $400 to go up to 32 GB of RAM, which is about all I could afford, as $1500 for an 8 core and $3000 for a 12 core just seems insane.

5 new After Effects CC 12.2 features that resulted from Adobe visiting Users

The After Effects blog has some info on some of the new features of the latest After Effects CC update 12.2.

I love that Adobe is really listening and releasing new features and bug fixes so quickly! It is just really too bad that the studios are basically forcing people to use AVID Media Composer, when for any graphics heavy show, Premiere Pro is such a better solution, just for lack of render time, and saving time with alphas and exports.

My FitBit One Died, less than 2 weeks over 365 Day Warranty!

Really annoying really. They have a 1 year warranty, but it is 1 year and 2 weeks out and it is dead! What a pain. Have contacted FitBit to see what they say, but am not hopefully since they are so specific on their warranty!

It just won’t take a charge anymore!

SideEffects 1.9 Restores Color iCons to Mavericks Finder using Easy SIMBL!

SideEffects has been updated to version 1.9 and restores color icons to the finder.

This was a huge mistake of Apple to remove a few versions of the OS ago, and I used SIMBL to bring it back for a while, but it was not entirely stable, so I am glad to have it back and working. Why should you not see your own custom drive icons and have an easier time seeing locations in the sidebar?
