[Shawn Marshall] I don’t like that Win 7 has to download updates practically every week.

This is why I find people who harp on Windows (especially version 7), to be ridiculously forgetful when it comes to using OSX. Do you know how often the Software Update box pops up on my OSX station? Quite a bit, and it’s far more intrusive than Windows Update.

I also have to reboot both my OSX and Windows machines on roughly the same time basis for slowdowns/instability/ect. Neither is immune.

Both OSX and Windows 7 are equally solid choices when it comes to a desktop OS. OSX has some stuff I love that I wish Windows would duplicate, and there are things on Windows that I wish OSX had (one example: the detailed window you get when overwriting a file on Windows is super helpful, while OSX gives you nothing).

[Craig Seeman] It would seem some of us “pros” are still using Apple products for post production. Nothing dumped here.

Of course not. The computers are still good.

However, once people start needing to upgrade, we’ll see where it goes.

[Gary Huff]

Yes, there’s such high demand that Thunderbolt peripherals are all over the market now.

[Gary Huff]

Do want.

[Jason Dare] Life is too short!

Then what’s your excuse?

[T. Payton] “Video is now in the process of undergoing a similar revolution. Once the tools were only in the hands of the professionals, now video is “in the hands of the people” so to speak, including my 9 year old cousin.”

And they are proceeding to fill content channels with utter crap.

[T. Payton] “Apple was truly aiming where the puck will be with FCP X, and many of us dislike where the puck is going to be. Like Luddiites (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite) we believe this new technology was a death sentence to our much loved craft. Some of us even lashed out, seeking some type of revenge upon the very ones proposing this new technology.”

Okay, I get it: you love Apple and probably believe that this mega-billion dollar corporation can do no wrong.

In the real world, just because something is new and shiny, it doesn’t automatically make it the future.

[Rafael Amador] “I guess you mean “..people problems with PP..”. Apple doesn’t seems to have any problem with FCPX.”

What?

[Don Walker]I’m lucky if I watch 3 hours a week, much less, 3+ hours a day. Yet I love producing, shooting, editing etc. I’ve always wondered if there is something wrong with me.

I definitely cannot watch more than 2 hours a day, and most of my TV viewing is about 5 hours for the week at most.

[Bobby Mosca]The rumor mill did put out news of a return to Nvidia, but more lately towards integrated Intel graphics, at least in the MBP.

That concerns the lower-end graphics processing. NVIDIA was originally supposed to provide both solutions, but they are apparently having issues with the Kepler platform and so they are (rumored to be) suggesting Apple stick with the Intel/Dedicated combo for the higher end MBP and Intel-only for the low end.
