The source these guys are quoting is the same one that nailed what was going on with FCP X over a year ago. Still, tweezers.

I’ve seen the same things you’ve seen. What I would do with someone who works for me/under me/with me, depends entirely on the specific situation. What I wouldn’t do is make decisions about someone who does NOT work for me/under me/with me, and has no effect on me. I especially would not put online a detailed outline of how and why I think they should get fired. I don’t need to be hypothetical about that at all.

Seems to me that that’s his business, Babe. Not yours. Plus, loudly threatening to air-fire someone is pretty low. I hope you are just a little over-excited and this isn’t your normal MO.

Well, that’s cool. But I thought it was super cool thinking you were a fictional character from Northern Exposure. Ah, well. You’re passionate and real, so, welcome!

Hey Mike, its not that Macromedia didn’t want it. They were caught in a web of contract and licensing agreements between Microsoft and Truevision that kept them from releasing.

Now, I believe he has been hosing/operating a small one man radio station up in Cicely, Alaska.

Chris, Steve Jobs’ health has been a serious issue for Apple for the last 2.5 years, not just the last six months.

David, the answer might be “no” but the fault isn’t the question. Even if you think FCPX is perfect and well focused–which I don’t–the release was grotesquely mishandled. If we can’t agree on at least that, then we won’t find any commonality at all.
I certainly don’t disagree that Apple can make more on a consumer product than they can on a Pro product, but as zillions of others have pointed out–why not both? Or, at least, why not ease out of the Pro market in a less passive/aggressive fashion? That kind of behavior is not very good for business, especially when the PR department has been waving the “Pro” flag since Cold Mountain.
And if you go back two years and start reading the leaks that were coming out of Apple you will find that it WAS very much about battling factions. The startling thing for me about X is that it seems to be a hodgepodge–a neither/nor. Its got a few really great pro features, and some very useful consumer features–but a huge gap in-between them. 4K but built in Facebook link. Smells like committee compromise to me.
