DVD authoring suite for Mac OS X
by Paulo de Andrade
When Apple announced the Superdrive and iDVD a little more than a year ago, I wrote about the possibilities that this combination would offer to video producers. The original iDVD was a great idea, but it had some limitations and a few bugs that caused many to avoid it in a professional environment, often turning to Apple's more expensive and powerful DVD Studio Pro. But with the release of iDVD 2, things have certainly changed, and I can finally see professionals turning to this sweet application for their daily needs.
Why you should never become an early adopter of Apple technology
by David Nagel
Let's recap. First Apple releases OS X as a public beta, charging a "nominal" $30 shipping and handling fee. Then they release the full version, jacking up the normal price of their OS to $130 and offering those who purchased the beta a $30 "discount" on the cost of the full release version of OS X. Then they came out with a 10.1 upgrade and charged another "nominal" $30 shipping and handling fee for those who needed the update, which included literally everybody because OS X 10.0 was missing so many features. And now there's something new that's so infuriating I couldn't even believe it when I heard it.

New creative controls bring a painterly feel to the ubiquitous image editor
by David Nagel
I'd like to take a closer look now at the entirely redesigned paint engine introduced in Photoshop 7. "Redesigned" is probably an understatement, since Photoshop has never actually included a painting engine in the proper sense. Sure, it had an airbrush and paint brush tool, but these were designed for touch-up work, not painting. Photoshop has always been about editing, compositing and effects. With the new paint tools in Photoshop 7, however, this changes.
At long last, Flash for X
by Kevin Schmitt
It seems that only a mere couple of weeks after my somewhat controlled rant at Macromedia, something got done. The powers-that-be over there finally said, "You know, that Kevin is absolutely correct. Start the port of Flash over to OS X right now!" And here we are, less than one month later, and they're already done. All is forgiven! Praise be!
