Where can I get some. I surely need it.

[Michael Gissing] “Few of us are that important to Apple. They are tossing some tasty bones and like faithfully puppies we follow, keenly hoping for more scraps from the great table.”
No. You misunderstand. It is the future of the whole world and the beginning of the Singularity. Gods are among us. Ask yourself–do you ever–I mean ever–see Mecca and Cupertino in the same place, at the same time, at the same party? I though not.

[Andrew Kimery] “I agree with Michael Gissing that FCPX’s primary demographic was servered starting with the initial release and since then Apple has been spending time tending to it’s secondary market.
“Me too. I think they hit their target audience running, and everything else is an afterthought.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “This suggests one of the recurring undercurrents on the forum – we all tend to be a bit blind to features, functionality, and requirements outside of our own workflow, or even just our habits.
“Yes! I, for one, didn’t know you could sub frame audio edit in Legacy, and I’d been working on it daily for over eight years. One of the benefits I’ve gotten from hanging around this forum, is a much wider view.

Sorry, Bill. Its just a faster–your millage may vary–horse. Yippie-kai-yeah.

[TImothy Auld] “I see what you mean. But he speed of a horse does depend a good deal on the rider.
“Indeed. Yippie-kai-yeah!

[Michael Sanders] “he point is, the customer doesn’t know what they want because the don’t know what’s possible. When it Edison created the lightbulb it was as a result of experimentation. It wasn’t the solution to a problem.
“I mention this below, but: …the fallacy is that X is a car. Even if you love it to pieces and find not a single flaw, the reality is that it is still just a faster horse.

[TImothy Auld] “I am certainly not holding Henry Ford up as a paragon of wisdom, courage, decency and visionary compassion. If were looking to get into 19th rich folk who did very, very bad things, and then very good things – well, that’s probably an anthology in the making.
“I’m not arguing with you, I’m just enjoying the comparison. I figure that if someone can state “horses=all other NLEs, Cars=X” than its equally fare to state “X=Fordlandia, all other NLEs=working rubber plants.”
Of course the fallacy is that X is a car. Even if you love it to pieces and find not a single flaw, it is still just a faster horse.

[Keith Koby] “f you are a freelance editor in our goto talent pool and you want to continue to work with us in the future, take some time and learn the app. The rate is the same.
“Keith, pardon me for being unfamiliar with you, but you are making this statement for iNDEMAND NETWORKS? I take it this is for internal promo work? I’m on the west coast some I’m not directly familiar with you. What’s the size of your operation? How many X seats are you talking about?

[TImothy Auld] “Henry Ford also said in response to all those who said he would go broke when he doubled his employees wages to an unheard of five dollars a day: No, I won’t. They will buy Fords.”
He also built an experimental town, Fordlandia, in the middle of the Brazilian rainforest to produce rubber for tires. He believed this particular vision would produce a better life for the local plantation workers, but unfamiliarity with the actual process rubber tree farming and an overzealous enforcement of what appeared to the natives to be overly rigid and arbitrary rules led to disaster. The natives, who had been farming rubber trees for a very long time, found Ford’s idiosyncratic approach both overbearing and ineffectual. The whole thing ended up in open revolt, and what’s left of the town lies rotting in the forest. The whole venture was sold off as a loss. Maybe, in this instance, if he had just given them faster horses, he might actually have gotten some rubber.
