[Aindreas Gallagher] “god no. Irish there bud. “
That was tongue in cheek… I know you’re Irish. One half my family came from Ireland. The Brit’s still consider us the colonies. A British friend of mine celebrates July 3rd as “last day of British rule”.
[Aindreas Gallagher] “Funny! I thought well over 70% of americans had an extremely poor view of the tea party – radical extremists demanding a purity of view and hostile to compromise.”
In this country we have a phrase… “there’s lies… damn lies… and statistics”. Don’t believe what you read from the non-existent media in this country…

[Dan Stewart] “I didn’t miss Herb’s point, I was agreeing in my after-the-pub way. 4k can wait a few years – but enough of that super fast internal storage to hold an hour or two RAW timeline would make it interesting to me..”
I get the “pub” thing. Was there myself yesterday. With regard to a fast machine and lots of fast storage, I think we’d all like that. Even when NOT working in 4K. The question is, “is it a good use of resources”? Here in the “colonies” the economy has had a downward effect on rates, so buying things one wants rather than needs won’t keep you around long.
I’m going to watch 4K with some interest. My clients won’t be asking for it, but there are markets that can use it. The question is, how big is that slice of the pie? It seems to me that more and more it’s the manufacturers pushing each new technology, rather than actual demand.

[Bill Davis] “So at least here in AZ where power for AC is a huge deal, having a smaller, energy efficient computer that generates a lot less heat is a pretty significant cost saving over years of service. Also it being that QUIET means some of us won’t have to pay extra any longer for sound deadening enclosures.- particular for a media production machine where the chance of needing to open a mic to do VO or narration near the unit is a significant possibility.”
+1 on that. The noise thing is an issue these days, given the changes in how we do things…

[Rich Rubasch] “I do like the new Mac Pro. Also having Mavericks able to run on older Macs (we have ’em) is a great addition. I have a workhorse of an old MacBookPro that I can’t upgrade to Mountain Lion.”
Kind of amazing. I have an MBP Pro that didn’t qualify for Lion, yet seems to be able to take Mavericks. Now, that is forward momentum…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I mean, I guess there’s nothing wrong, per se, with making noises like a tea party activist on behalf of those currently executing professional work through FCPX. You’d have to think FCPX has quite a few moderates these days though.”
As a Brit, I can see why the whole “Tea Party Activist” thing has you a bit anxiety ridden. For the rest of us members of the colonies, that’s a term of endearment…

[Herb Sevush] “2995 sounds like a lot when everything else is free. Personally I was very impressed with the aggressive pricing.
“Their failure to clap I think means they were not impressed with the price. The same thing happened with the new iPad Air… not a single clap when the price was announced. Perhaps because everybody else’s pads are dropping in price?

So somebody didn’t like the crickets video and had it removed? Is this site being run by the NSA?

[Bill Davis] “This is surely going to be interesting!”
By interesting, did you mean it’s going to be the wild west all over again?
