Apple drops ProApps from corporate definition

[Marcus Moore]

What’s included? Anything interesting?

[James Ewart]

Not that I’ve noticed to be honest. I just blindly downloaded it and the system seems a little more stable now. Also just downloaded 10.10 Beta. First two iterations I had were just called Beta (somewhat unstable) and Beta 2. I think it must be nearly ready to ship. FCP7 still “seems” to run okay also by the way but I have not been using it in anger so don’t take my word for it.

I haven’t opened FCP7 in 2 years, so no issues there…

If history holds, Yosemite will be out in late-October after a Special Event for iPads, Macs, and anything else Apple want to announce for the holidays.

If there’s going to be another FCPX update this year, I wouldn’t expect it until after that, maybe even December again like 10.1.

I’m going to go with an update less than a week after Yosemite launch.

I like my optimism half full of glass….oh wait.

I think if there’s an update with that quick of a turnaround, then 10.1.4 will be another maintenance update for Yosemite compatibility.

I did this post a couple months ago on when 10.1.3 might be released. Took all the maintenance update intervals and it came out like this-

Apple ended up being pretty much smack dab on the average.

So I’m prepping another post on when we might see 10.1.4, presuming it’s a feature update, using past dates.

Here is a screenshot. Actually I don’t know if this was just for the benefit of Yosemite Beta testers or everyone…probably my bad. Sorry if that’s the case.

I have not yet tried the beta version of the new OS X but my guess that update is probably for Yosemite, going to do the usual update check and see what is available.

I think that 10.1.4 on the FCP X side of things will include some features, then again it could be the usual maintenance update. I am not a betting man, never had luck with slot machines.

Remember kids, tracks are you friends when you charge by the hour. Track Tetris, game on!

[Walter Soyka] “I would be very surprised. Apple seems to work bottom-up, not top-down.”

I too would be very surprised to see Apple get into the high-end camera game. That seems like the kind of low volume, high maintenance niche they’ve never really been comfortable being a part of.

IMO if anything big is missing from Apple’s post ecosystem right now it’s a multiuser environment to compete with the offerings from Avid and Adobe.

[Marcus Moore] “if Adobe was even willing.”

Or hostile takeover.
