[Bill Davis] “I have to compete in the open market with my tools and abilities. After today – I can see another long stretch of years where I can face my competition and simply say “bring it.””
Yeah, I just did a project in X. No sweat…except for the stuff that’s still broken/odd.
It’s not that hard to learn. After all, how did the people who make the training learn it if it was?

But as with some new friends I met in my road who were incredibly religious, I did ask them that I respected their views but didn’t want it thrust down my throat.. I felt the same with that image.
Seriously? Pull your head out of your ass.

So we’ll have to re-learn how to use a computer too? geeeezus shut up already.
Cut him a break. It’s not about the usability, it’s about feeling young again!

because they’re obviously smarter and more informed than the engineers building the beast at Apple.
So engineers are always smarter than the customers? Or only Apple engineers?

[Herb Sevush] “Given how both you and every Mac rumor site were 100% wrong on this subject last summer, I would think you would hesitate in posting this gibberish again this year. Apparently not.”
“This year I’m gonna finally be right!”

[Nicholas Zimmerman] “If you have to use Legacy than the Log & Transfer method is the way to go for sure.”
I’ve had to re-transcode footage that had visual errors (glitching, pixelization) due to Log & Transfer, so I’d rather suggest 5DtoRGB or Red Giant Grinder.

[Bernard Newnham] “So – which Windows don’t you like?”
You know, I really don’t like Windows. It does things like lets me merge two folders together and update only the changed files. Mountain Lion gives me the option to that, but doesn’t work (it throws up a cryptic -1 error when trying), and I just like how ML keeps me on my toes like that. Windows is too simple for that kind of job where you need to update all 120GB of data when you’ve already copied half of it at lunch and are in a huge time crunch. With OSX, I have to copy it all over again, thus making sure my data is DOUBLE secure!

[Bill Church] “For the sake of keeping things simple, let’s assume for now that $5000 is for camera and glass only, and not take any other accessories into account. What I shoot is primarily short format promo videos (lot of interviews and b-roll) and long format conferences (basically a single shot, talking head in front of a powerpoint). A lot of what I shoot I don’t have control of the lighting unfortunately, and many of the environments I shoot in aren’t terribly well-lit.”
If you can’t light, you’re not going to get ideal results, no matter what camera you use. From your overall description, I think the XF300 is the better choice. Even the XF100 might work for your needs if you want to save some cash and the reduced feature set isn’t super important for your needs.

[Bernard Newnham] “I’m just endlessly astonished at the loyalty people show for a company that long ago lost interest in them.”
I thought the same thing, but I’m willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how they are making substantial improvements to FCPX.
If they release OSX 10.9 with a flatter look thanks to Ive (the Calendar skumorphism is really ugly), and it doesn’t break anything substantial over Mountain Lion, it will be more evidence in their favor that they are actually trying to remain a viable solution in the creative space.
And as Herb mentioned, one can always Hackintosh! Though I will admit, the new iMac is pretty sexy.

[Craig Seeman] “Until May 24th at least which is when Avid explains to NASDAQ what their plan to remain listed is (including a schedule for delivering a report that calls off the class action law suits).”
His software won’t suddenly de-activate because of this.
