[Jim Giberti] “I know I’m spoiled. Some of the stations we deal with (typical in local network affiliates) even though they broadcast in HD, still haven’t upgraded their local output, so we send that work 480 letter boxed, and field issues still rear their ugly heads.
“A huge amount of International distribution is still that way as well.

[Chris Harlan] “I can use a simple del”
Or, I guess an HP. I meant edl. I have to figure out how to turn Lion’s weird auto correct off, because it is currently fluxing up my life.

[Jeremy Garchow] “How convenient is this? I”
True enough. We are all going to end up being run by the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Chris Harlan] “Isn’t an EDL an even simpilar timeline?”
It’s very restrictive in it’s simplicity. 🙂
“And yet, as we’ve discussed elsewhere, I can use a simple del to do things that are currently impossible with FCP X.

[Andrew Richards] “The vast array of structures they’d have to translate to deal with tracks, nested sequences, etc, make importing legacy FCP projects a very different story.

[Jeremy Garchow] “there’s still a market for bigger/fast computers, even outside the video business. Although, it’s constantly shrinking.
“Oh, I agree with that completely. I just sometimes wonder if the new Apple does. I don’t know if you remember the thin client vs desktop arguments of the ’90s with companies like Oracle championing thin Client and companies like Microsoft and Apple championing Desktop. A lot of us felt that thin client was a bit 1984-like, with Big Brother dolling you out bits of software from a centralized mainframe. Now granted, purchasing apps is not renting software by the minute, which I take as an improvement over the old Oracle model, but iCloud gives me pause.

[Oliver Peters] “It’s not about Apple’s implementation of Siri. It’s about their method of responding to complaints. “
Oh, I agree with what you are saying completely. But, taken as an aside, Jeremy is also right, and I can’t resist an opportunity to play that Louis CK clip.

[Jeremy Garchow] “FCPX aside, it’s amazing what people want their phones to do for them these days, just by talking to it.”
Ain’t that the truth. Cue the great Louis CK:

[Craig Seeman] “Apple is looking for ways to sell Macs like they sell iPhones and iPads.”
Do you really think they will ever sell computers the way they are currently selling phones and iPads? And, I’m genuinely asking. They are so dominated currently by phones, with pads coming up, that it seems to me that their priorities will–by the sheer force of sales–shift pretty quickly (if it already hasn’t), especially now that they are fully embracing Larry Ellison’s thin client dream with iCloud. Mobile devices are no longer tethered to individual computer. All they need are access to Apple servers. It seems to me possible that the desktop will be pushed out.

[Chris Harlan] “Okay, fool. You took this too far. Clearly, you were processing facts incorrectly and you owe Craig an apology. Now, man up and do it.
“Okay. Craig, I probably incorrectly inturpreted facts from the MacRumors site and presented them in a haughty manner.
