![]() Live QuickTime broadcaster and multimedia studio by David Nagel I had a strange reaction the first time I launched Live Channel. It was, "How'd they do that?" Live Channel (from Channel Storm) is a QuickTime broadcasting application for the Macintosh. It's announcement, back in July, boldly promised a live, real-time QuickTime streaming solution that could easily substitute for an entire broadcast studio. ![]() How to use Photoshop's Filter Factory to shift an image's color channels by David Nagel Here's a tutorial whose main purpose will probably be of little use to most of you. Sound enticing? Well, even if it won't be of direct use to you, you can still learn something from it and prepare yourself a bit for an upcoming tutorial series on writing your own Photoshop filters. (That's a little better, isn't it? Everybody wants to know how to create their own filters!)
Please, enough with the magic words already by Kevin Schmitt I have a little test I like to call The Legend Test. It goes something like this: Let's say that the producers of a particular product decide to attach some form of the word "legend" to the advertising of their product. "The Legend of Brand X Barbecue Sauce," for example. To apply The Legend Test to a statement of this type, I place it in The Cowboy Scenario. Basically, if you can imagine cowboys sitting around the campfire at night uttering the same words without it sounding completely ridiculous, then it passes the Legend Test. Here's a statement that passes The Legend Test: "There once was a kid at school who could take out the class loser from fifty feet away with a spitball." ![]() A designer's guide to reader-friendly page layout by David Nagel You have three seconds to keep a reader. That's a fact. If a reader gets distracted from you magazine for more than three seconds, he or she is gone. On the other hand, you have plenty of devices to keep a reader interested in any given story, and much of this has to do with design. Kingston offers two for one deal on Mac RAM Dave Nagel It's no secret that RAM prices continue to drop to almost inconceivable levels. Even reputable memory manufacturers and retailers are offering memory for old and new G4s and iMacs at unheard-of prices. And now, today, Kingston Technology announced that its offering a two for one deal on one of its memory products, which are generally regarded as high-quality. |
