    Why would you assume that you and your group of friends make up the majority opinion on slashdot? This isn't a sight just for IT. I personally don't care about Domino or Oracle. You could just block articles about Apple.

    New versions of Apache, Linux distro's what have you, get posted as well.

    Besides, FCP isn't just "some consumer level video editing program". It's an Emmy Award-winning application used by director Steven Soderbergh ( who did âoeTraffic,â âoeErin Brockovichâ and âoeOceanâ(TM)s 11â ), by Rodney Charters director of photography for "24" to name a few.

    All of my OS X friends love Final Cut Pro. I can't argue with them at all, since in my brief exposure to that product, it is a blast to use. However, if you have a PC, I highly recommend you try Vegas from Sonic Foundry.

    Vegas and Reason from Propellerheads are the only reason I boot Windows at all (yes I know Reason is available on Macs), but they are also my favorite reason I have to turn on a computer in the first place.

    Sorry about the mangled URL for Vegas. Here is the correct one, tested this time.

  4. Best Update Ever. by lnoble · · Score: 5, Informative

    First of all they're now throwing in Cinema Tools for free, until now it costed a grand, then on top of that they are adding two new apps one for awseom titling the other for pro audio scoring, and on top of that they have added a slew of new and enhanced features with which the update could arguably have stood on its own.

    The added value is just amazing. They effectively cut the total cost in half, while almost doubling the original value at the same time. Use this with their newly acquired shake for compositing and logic for audio, and you have a system which will make Avid tremble over thoughts of mass migration away from their quarter million dollar platforms, in favor of cheap and nearly as effective software based systems.

    Apple has strengthened themselves against destruction. If the consumer thing ends up not working out. They can always go back to their pro market.
