Funny thing is that some of the apps were not developed by apple but rather bought and all other OS versions have been canceled or made more expensive, etc. (which pissed of alot of non-apple users cause this looked so microsoftish). First of all Shake is not Mac only. You can still get a linux version (just that apple effectively keeps the linux price roughly ten times above the os x one). Second, there was not much development after apple bought it. Changes were marginal. Shake really is the "windows" of compositing apps. It earned it dominance from changes in the industry (slowly turning away from huge expensive turnkey systems a la discreet) to desktop compositing for feature film. It had a good toolset and was available for everyone (win/irix/linux). All apple has done was making it so cheap it was a joke and trying to lock people in. They did not innovate at all here. Its already getting old. That's why they gave it up.
FCP is still not the dominating editor in the industry. That would still be avid.
The problem however is that as soon as china is prospering and salaries are rising there will be some other country which is still poorer and jobs will get outsorced from china to this place. I'm not sure all this will take a good end on the long run...
sorry, but this is flamebait at best.
where does all this offensive attitude come from? Its not "the germans" against the the wikipedia/US...? All that happened is, as lots of other people have pointed out already, that a an order to "instant / temporary action" was given, by a regional court. That does not mean anything to the final judgement, its not even clear the case will get accepted at the court at all.
This is getting alot of (critical) media coverage at all the major news pages (could not watch tv today) here in germany.
Its definately not "the germans" against wikipedia but more another fight between personal rights for privacy and public rights for information, and this particular case just started.
So in this context your reference to the Nürnberger tribunal is not "informative" but tasteless and silly at best

Very true. There are lots of examples where things like this went wrong. Remember that Douglas Stores slogan in Germany "Come in and find out!"
Most Germans misuderstood for something like ~Come in and find your way out!~
Current trend is either use very basic english words or better just stick to the native language (Douglas, McDonalds, etc.) even if it sounds less ~cool~
