Just opened FCPX for the first time

[Jeremy Garchow] “Fcp7 is and was old. It couldn’t harness the power of their own computing hardware. Color was the newest tech in the suite, and it was purchased. FCPX is showcasing apples tech, for better or worse, but it’s a ground up Apple, Inc. product.”
I think from a technology perspective, FCPX and Motion are very impressive indeed. They make great use of the hardware, and they really showcase what developers can build on core Mac OS X APIs.

I would say: not much. Apple is far above now a consumer gadget company, and boy do we love those gadgets. A very small (REALLY small) segment of Apple’s customer base is miffed at them for FCPX.”There is a lot of irony to be had though.
10 minutes watching 5 longterm iphone users fumble over their touchpad keyboards to spell a somewhat complicated pizza restaurant to place an order while my trusty tactile “luddite” blackberry was able to do the same task and place the order in 5 seconds.
Or watching the buffering on moms ipad constantly, or the blank flash video.
Further, watching the bars highlight for that wifi signal on the ipad while my laptop has already loaded the page, all ads and the video advertisement has finished playing while the ipad user gets up and walks around trying to improve that 3g signal…and I already have another 5 tabs loaded and writing this…
Every iphone user I talk to live breaking up and having to constantly repeat themselves on my clear as polished glass blackberry that does fine on the same carrier…
and the irony continues…
Give me a tactile keyboard and a clear signal over a fancier gadget. Give me a i7 laptop with a decent sized screen to see what I’m doing over a 1ghz low ram, touchy screen that has a ridiculously small screen for anything but hi-def angry birds…
The gadgets will win. The frustrations will mount. And I’ll be on craigslist buying those luddite 15″, i7 macbook pros for the next 5-10 years

Its a new app. Not an upgrade.
The more you study, the more you will cool off.
If you dont want to learn, premiere is great for you!
Fcpx has great potential for a 1.0 version. -
What exactly is Kool-aid?

And by whamming our Macs, we make room for newer, faster, smaller macs. Repeat: 1 infinite loop

Notice, the Kool-Aid is still consumed.
