What also routinely gets left out of the argument is heat distribution and noise. After years of corner cutting, I will gladly pay extra for a machine that deals with heat as efficiently and as quietly as possible.

I don’t know. I read Gibson’s statement, and then watched the relevant portion of video, and felt that what he was saying was inconsistent gobbledygook.

[David Lawrence] “Add to that the fact that every major US ISP is capping data and this cloud scenario becomes a total pipe dream for any kind of serious work. Sorry, not gonna happen anytime soon.”
Add to that the major Net Neutrality war over “last-mile” that will dominate the next decade. It blows my mind the degree to which people are not aware of this issue, or think the “Net Neutrality” is a porn or free speech issue. The telcoms and the cable companies have done a really good job of confusing the issue, and the recent Supreme Court rulings against the FCC have pretty much guaranteed that no existing regulation can protect last mile rights. I think it inevitable that Apple, Netflix, Google, et. al, will be in a major legislative battle with the telcoms and the cable companies for much of the next decade.

[Tom Wolsky] ” was responding to this:
“Adobe has many more seats than even fcp any version.”
“Ah! My apologies. That is certainly not true.
-
[Tom Wolsky] “Over 2 million seats sold.
“FCP seats. Not FCP X seats. And, as we all seem to agree–regardless of how we feel about the product–they are NOT the same thing. About ALL they have in common is that they are NLEs and share a name.

[Bob Tompkins] “And the person who wrote “Adobe sees 45% sales growth for Mac video tools after Final Cut Pro X exodus” wasn’t trying to start something? My question still stands in perfect context. Back to work.
“Hey, Bob, at least Adobe’s people are willing to talk about their product. Wouldn’t it just be WILD if Apple were to do something similar. I mean, just for kicks.

[Tim Wilson] “I by no means think that this is going to represent the majority of people looking for their post-FCP landing pad. Not even close. I also don’t see a lot of people throwing their Macs away. But moving in the direction of Windows is already appearing as a viable option in mainstream discussions, and an increasingly mainstream choice.”
I’m thinking that way, as are most of the shops I interface with. I don’t see it as any kind of overnight thing, but it is beginning to add up. In the promo world that I inhabit, I’m constantly running across web designers that are still plenty pissed off over what they see as the “Flash debacle.” People who spent a decade swearing that they wouldn’t go anywhere near a PC are now seriously considering it. I ended up in the Mac world principally because of FCP, and though I’m comfortable here, Windows 7 really has some appeal. I have a work station upgrade coming this year, and I’m waiting to see what happens with Mac Pro, but I’ve been looking very closely at those Dells and HPs.

Heym maybe 3rd time is the charm. Quicktime X. FCP X. Logic X. I’ve been wondering if I should switch to Pro Tools, anyway. So, if the release is a pile of puss, off I go. Makes Avid all that much prettier.

[John Davidson] “Now if they can make this dump into Logic so we can export OMF, I’ll be a long way towards happy.
“But guess what:
Apple Moving Toward Release of Logic Pro X?

[Glen Hurd] “That’s the way I see your analogy. No-one is saying FCP X has no future with anyone. We’re just saying it’s unusable for our everyday needs, and we doubt it will ever catch up – because if it was intended to catch up, it would have been built with a tad more insight. We don’t believe Apple is that stupid. We just think Apple has its own agenda. “
Yup.
