>>”Prius = iPad or iPhone.”
Having driven a Prius since 2006, I would equate the Prius with a MacBookPro.
>Yes, all three are overpriced status symbols
I suppose any car over $20,000 or so is an overpriced status symbol. That said,…
I thought the same of the Prius, until I test drove one. Very comfortable and well designed; no abnormal maintenance issues in six years. There is a premium over an equivalent non-hybrid Toyota. But with the price of gasoline the way it has been I paid that premium off long ago.

It is MB looks. I am wondering if I somehow got a beta version by accident.
Assuming no one else is able access it.

I do believe there was a way. But I was only experimenting with Premiere at the time, and have not touched it since them, so I cannot remember now what the solution was.
Sorry to not be of more help.

[Chris Harlan] “When asked how he felt about his maxims being used…”
Classy. But name-calling doesn’t do much to undermine what I am trying to say.

[Andrew Kimery] “The cornerstone of your position seems to be based on this false assumption. Many people that don’t see FCP 10 as a good fit are moving on, or back, to Avid and Premiere Pro.”
Those who have truly moved on wouldn’t be here to read my question would they?

[Michael Gissing] “By railing against those who do not embrace this new paradigm”
I have no issue with those who do not embrace “this new paradigm.” I’m curious why after 6 months they don’t move on and embrace some other paradigm of their choice. A friend has commented that I am being too rational; and that is probably true. But if we are in this business to be creative and make a profit, of what benefit is it to not just move on and use another tool that works for your creative endeavors?
Personally, I’m scheduled to start a feature length documentary in January, and the director wants me to use FCP7, so I’m not really sure why we have to embrace anything other than what we always have for the foreseeable future — remembering that even prior to the release of FCPX a producer/director could have requested AVID, FCP, or perhaps even Premiere — nothing has particularly changed there.
[Michael Gissing] “but be careful about making value judgements based on such one liner observations.”
Well, I am making a value judgement based on 6 months of observations here and elsewhere; the quotes were convenient and apropos. With respect to any thread/comment on this forum about Apple’s current and future plans, please point me to even one statement (including my own) that isn’t value based; this is all opinion and anecdote.

[Herb Sevush] “[James Culbertson] “This forum is still a textbook study of self-referential, mutual reinforcing, fear-based neo-tribal networks.”
And what is the name of your tribe, and where does it congregate – under the Apple Suckling Tree?
(let’s see if you get the reference without using Google, as historical as you are.)”
Haha, good one. But I have no internet tribe for better or worse. My “tribe” is the community I physically live in, one that continually challenges my self-referential tendencies, and reminds me how multifaceted the world is.
I’ve read all of Marshall McLuhan’s books in dead-tree form; and I should say continually re-reading portions as understanding McLuhan is an on-going process.

[Herb Sevush] “This is like the scene in Annie Hall when Woody brings out the real Marshall McLuhan to berate the nearby idiots who are misinterpreting him.”
No need to be so harsh about yourself Herb. I don’t think any of you are idiots; just short-sighted and a bit a-historical.
But even if you take McLuhan out of the picture. This forum is still a textbook study of self-referential, mutual reinforcing, fear-based neo-tribal networks.

[Frank Gothmann] “What I find most amazing in this discussion is the way people claim to know how Apple thinks”
And then you go on to claim to know how Apple thinks.

The problem Craig, is that a lot of editors are not very imaginative.
But I agree with you. Exciting times…
