Final Cut Pro X Hands On First Look (by MattsMacintosh)

It’s already controversial but I think Final Cut Pro X looks great. I’m sure I’ll find some things I don’t like once I get my hands on it, but it looks like it’s really going to help streamline the editing process.

In case people hadn’t heard, iPhone 4 users can now enable the “Find My Phone” feature for free. This feature helps you locate a lost or stolen iPhone. This can also be enabled on the iPad and iPod Touch.


Apple has launched the Mac App Store via an OS X 10.6.6 update. It works much as you would expect if you are an iTunes user, allowing you to browse, purchase, and easily install Mac applications. This isn’t intended to be an in-depth review of the Mac App Store, but rather just me venting on two issues I’ve already noticed that I know are going to bug the heck out of me.

1) The Mac App Store application does not store your password.
This makes a certain amount of sense on a device like an iPhone or iPad, which are meant to be mobile and can easily be lost or stolen. However, iTunes allows me to store my password on my Mac, so why not the App Store?

2) The App Store automatically adds purchased applications to the Dock.
While some people may prefer this, avid app store users will quickly be overwhelmed by the amount of icons being added to their Dock. A simple preference to disable this behavior would have been a nice inclusion.

Only one day left to get an amazing deal on an excellent bundle of software and help raise money for charity at the same time!


Found this rather amusing. Obviously this really isn’t a fair comparison, and the MacBook Air has much more functionality than a Comodore SX-64, but it’s funny none the less.via regmedia.co.uk
