When Will Apple Cave And Accept Flash? http://tinyurl.com/4gphemz
To answer the question: probably never. What the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have shown, 160 million users don’t seem to be having a problem in a Flash-free world.

As expected, AV Foundation from iOS 4 will be added to Lion. My take is that signals the end of QuickTime as we’ve known it. But it’s not only that there’s a new Framework for working with time-based audiovisual media – there’s a lot more to QuickTime than that, and it’s all the interactive and additional technologies in QuickTime that don’t appear to have a future. Features that were important when QuickTime MOVs were the preferred (at Apple) distribution format.
Larry Jordan answers questions from a fan about the new Final Cut Pro.
Greg was bored last night while I was at Alpha Dog’s Editors’ Lounge and started exploring Xtranormal and came up with this.
This must have been what it was like for Larry Jordan at LAFCPUG Wednesday night!

“The essence of being human involves asking questions, not answering them”
It’s the final  end quote from http://tinyurl.com/6bful7u on Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Assistance (unrelated to my company) that comes out of a NYT writeup of IBM’s Jeopardy playing Watson.
Scott Simmons is running a “28 days of Quicktips 2011” series over at Pro Video Coalition and on day 2, in parallel with the release of the Manifesto titling plug-in for Final Cut Pro, he points out that Manifesto has built-in spell check, the only FCP titling option that does.
What probably isn’t immediately obvious to the average user of these tools, is that the programmers at Noise Industries had to do zero extra programing to get spell check in a title plug-in. It’s part of the package that comes when you call (in your application or plug-in) the appropriate Cocoa framework – NSTextView for those few who care!

LinkedIn purchased CardMunch and the service is free. Take pic of card, send. A while later, it’s back in text as a contact. I’m loving it!
By now it’s not news that Google has dropped H.264 support from the <video> tag in their Chrome Browser, ostensibly because WebM is “more open”, which is demonstrably a lie as they continue support for Flash in Chrome. (I have no problem with Google taking whatever actions it likes, but please don’t insult me by saying it’s because of “openness”.)
The important thing to remember is that this changes NOTHING! Not a single thing. No-one cares about WebM and more importantly, no-one should even consider WebM.
