[Rodney Clarke] “Did your machine (GV-D800 or similar)do a transfer from Hi8 to digital without producing pixelation?”
The capture over firewire works fine. The digitized video looks the same as what I see when I playback the video from the deck to a TV. I get the same, original, low quality SD video, shot by someone who didn’t know what they were doing at the time. (me)
I’m not sure if you can still get any of those Sony 8mm or Hi8 decks any more. If you can, they are a worth while investment.

[Jeremy Garchow] “it also made clear that the days of “revolutionary” Apple devices – those that create entire new product categories and come with massive risk for the company, as the original iPhone did – are over“
Note, the quote above is text from the article, not something Jeremy wrote.I think I might understand what that person in the article might be trying to say, but I don’t think you can (or should) say that Apple’s revolutionary days are over. Or any other companies.
I think you can say that revolutionary products are very rare. Products that change or create entire industries.
The first mobile phone created an industry. A huge industry. There were a few products that came along to change that industry. Such as RAZR, which drove thin products in not only the mobile phone industry, but other industries as well. (iPod Nano)
The iPhone changed the industry again. The smart phone category existed, but Apple’s approach was very unique. People loved it, competitors followed.
The iPod changed the mobile music industry. So much so, that competitors didn’t follow, they ceased to exist.
The iPad changed the tablet industry. So much so that it really didn’t become much of an industry until Apple showed up.
Is Apple done creating revolutionary, industry changing products? Well, with Jobs gone, maybe. I think it will certainly be harder for them to do so. But are they done? I’d argue no. And neither is anyone else. Apple, or someone, will come along with another revolutionary product. They are rare, so it may be a while. But it will happen.

[Walter Soyka] “As demoed at NAB”
I’m assuming this is what I saw them demo at NAB. (for some reason my browser won’t play the Adobe TV clip)
As I recall, I believe all the files (media and projects) are kept on a server. You run the apps on your computer. (PP, AE, etc) When running PP, the server streams the media to you. When hit stop, it downloads a single full frame image. So it’s trying to keep the bandwidth requirements low.
In the demo, the created a PP project, in Vegas. Then had another guy modify the same project at a remote location and then they showed his changes “real-time” in the Vegas booth.

I noticed that PP CS6 now supports the GTX680.

Isn’t the first slot a double wide slot? At least I believe it is in my Early 2008 Mac Pro.
What I didn’t see (probably missed it) was whether or not it needs one or two (all) of the internal power cables.

Sorry, John. I didn’t notice. But your photo of the sign has your address plaque showing. (if that matters)
So, did you leave the poop?
Perhaps you could bag and tag it and attach it to the sign?
OT or not, it’s funny. I like it. And you didn’t need to use cats.

The guy also just posted his home address (assuming it’s his home) on the internet.

Richard herd what? (drum, symbol)

[Andrew Richards] “Don’t worry about it”
Okay, if you say so.
Although, you might feel differently if, from this point forward, you are forever referred to on this forum as Richard.
Don’t forgot, I apologized.

Humor works fine with me. Even weird humor. (though I wouldn’t classify this an weird)
I do feel stupid getting Andrew’s name wrong.
Just Andrew.
As for a few, certain, nameless others … (see, I can do humor)
