Now that’s true. They really don’t know what they’re doing. It depends on the store. The one here in Birmingham is great/awful depending on which day you get there and what time. Someone back there knows what’s going on, but not everyone, evidently. For all the success of the Apple store, it must be entirely product driven. The training appears pretty bad as the people on the floor are typically ignorant of the products they sell.

No one would have been told about this case. It never left the legal office. That’s the point I was trying to make.

It is an interesting story, and good for him for sticking to it. However, it is far too easy these days to blame the big bad company for sending their minions after you. It is, in fact, the minions who are running the show. If you don’t already know what I mean, I’ll explain…
Technology geeks don’t know crap about the law. The don’t know about the heart-lung machine, either. Sometimes, they don’t know how an air conditioner works. In the case of tech companies, they are a bit unique in that they can grow to the sizes they are and still be run by tech guys. A good number of other large conglomerates are run by people with law degrees, not because they know the first thing about soap, or pencils, or chairs, but because they know how to run something big. Apple’s legal department is run by lawyers and lawyers are all about self-preservation (not that that’s unique). In order to show they are worth the money they are getting, they will have to go to court and rack up some billable hours. If I had to guess, Seattle Slue got bean counted. It’s unfortunate, but remember. The people who run Apple don’t know diddly about the law.
Just my 2 cents.

As far as crashes go, it really does depend on what you’re working off of, because everyone has different experiences. CS5.5 has been fine for me, where FCPX barely opens anymore. It’s like working on Windows all over again. As the question goes: FCPX or Not? I vote definitely not.
Adobe’s creative suite is a great value and I’ve been happy with it. As said above, depends on what you’re doing. Test drive the free trials.

If this is the best Apple can muster, I think they were better off saying nothing at all.

Yes, all the IT people I know who are forced to work in Windows get a bonus for making stuff up about it.

I disagree. I will still have to jump online for stock footage, emails, research… whatever, and I’m comfortable doing that on the Mac. If I have to move to Windows for my editing machine, it would take an act of Congress to get me to go online with that thing, or leave it connected at all. I haven’t caught a virus in decades on my HP because I know what I’m doing, but I never feel safe on it. Working on Windows is just a sole-sucking enterprise.

You may have just wrapped it all up for us. Apple is not going to release a Mac Pro just to support Final Cut X, Aperture, and Logic..

Yeah, the Red Rocket is a monster. (It better be for $4750.) I’m not sure how it differs from a typical graphics card, though, as it’s designed for Redcode That could have something to do with it. But there is an awful lot of data going back and forth in the demo. I’d like to see a demo with an Nvidia card to see if the same setup would help PPro’s playback engine. As you say, we may have to wait for the TB upgrade for it to be generally applicable.
