That is really interesting that Dell and HP have branches in Iran but Apple doesn't, I figured it would be just as illegal for Dell and HP, both based in the US and subject to US Federal trade regulation, to sell directly to Iran... either way, you really are a Mac enthusiast.
Unless Apple has any other rabbits in their hat, I would say june WWDC will be hardware fest + iLife. Updates on MBP and MP if not on their entire line yes, including ipods.
Why ? what else could get a bunch of computer programmers excited in june ?? Surely, demoing oct bound Leopard would not occupied the majority of the keynote. Just pray to god they wont be showboating that damn phone again.
A lower priced 3ghz 8 core or 2.66 8 core would surely go nice with FCS 2.0.

This is certainly aimed at pro's.
(note: the apostrophe just used is there to indicate the ommission of letters from the end of the word "professional", not to indicate a plural. Just add an "S" or "ES" for plural in most cases. Using an apostrophe there is incorrect. Please don't misuse the apostrophe.)
With full color control, you can change the mood of entire scene. Give your scene a little orange tone to make it feel warm and cozy, or turn it blue to make it edgey and cold. This will be neat to play with!

about the phone, im with you.
NAB may not excite developers but it sure makes people like me scream. i think this years`s NAB was great. especially motion 3. motion 3 makes user rely less on their3d app (in my case maya) and rely more on a much faster much easier app.
Why on earth would someone use text-to-speech on marketing materials? That's the second most ridiculous statement in your post.
I don't understand all of the negative votes on this. It's evidence that Apple has not forgotten about the pro space while pursuing its iLife/iPod/iPhone consumer strategy.
Where is logic pro 8 ?
there never will be one
what does that aja box actually do in non video editing language?
I agree his premise is flawed, but... Computer speech technology is actually approaching the point where it should soon be usable for some interesting productions. For example, EastWest Sound's Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs comes remarkably close to sounding like a real choir, if used skillfully.
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. I will accept you have little experience with product development; whether it is hardware, or software, computer related, or not.
Your product is ready, when it has gone through all of the required steps to bring it to market. If it takes "X" amount of time to complete it, then that is the way it is. Sometimes you can throw additional resources at it and improve the schedule. However, in many cases you cannot.
Your perception is, when given a fixed deadline (like NAB), it can be met. The obvious flaw in that logic is assuming the product 'rollout' deadline can always be adjusted to the NAB deadline. In the real world, it does not work that way.
It is a result of Leopard. The MS machine is in full-motion.
It's all the idiots who thought a mac mini update or widescreen iPod would come out today. They got their hopes up because their idiots, and now they're disappointed, so they're voting the story negative.
Well, now that I'm done pissing myself
That is the shizzle of the dizzle we knew was coming.
Almost every gripe is solved with this update. The color, the surround sound, the 3d compositing, and even the compressor workflow. I am in a state of awe that will not soon wear off.

I just read the HD for indies site coverage. It is filled with a lot of jargon that if you are not heavy into videomaking or movie making you might as well avoid. But for the newbies, this FCS update is akin to the update from Photoshop 2.0 to Photoshop 6.0.
It is major. It dropped the cost to make films and the cost to make broadcast television by between $100,000 and $200,000 (on the lowest end) in capital costs alone, plus substantial savings in worker time, worker count, and admin worker count.
Then there is the fact it simply does more, does everything better, and looks cool while doing it. I believe every cable show will have fancier graphics soon while further delclines in actual content value continue to drop.
FCS is a turbo must-have.

Err, yes... I was saying that trolling has recently seemed to increase in public forums, along with the distribution of even more misinformation via MSM that unusual.
I did not read your post carefully, and I owe you an apology. I deleted mine, but not in time it seems.
I apologize for failing to read what you had written, and posting a BS response to it. I will be more aware of this in the future.
I totally agree. This update is beyond exciting. Heck if all they did was add the Color program it would be pretty cool, that'll be worth the upgrade alone. I have just started to offline and online some shows in HD and these updates will smooth, improve, and make easier everything I am doing. I mean, thank god for realtime handling of multiple formats in the timeline. And Motion 3 looks like it is gonna be huge.
I also agree that I think DVDSP is going to get a free upgrade sometime later , so don't think we should be freaking out over that yet.
ahh and not bogging your computer down to a standstill, it makes sense thank you. I was like "oh a box with connectors... neat i guess". lol
He has excellent pronunciation then, it sounded almost too good to be Leopard's speech technology. A few parts seemed like he said the work the exact same way twice in a row. Sort of robotic sounding to me. Thanks for making that clear though.
Oh, and I just read the part that Compressor 3 can do Timecode overlays, nice! Yeah, I'm skipping some of the huge stuff, that's a given, but it's little things like this that can save hours in a day.
It sounded robotic to me at certain points, he says most things in the same exact tone and speed several times. And for your question:
What better way to advertise Apple's upcoming OS and spike interest then use some groundbreaking technology as a teaser. It would be a great feat if Apple could have used it's text-to-speech technology as a voiceover so well and it would show how it could change the way voice overs could be done. What is the other ridiculous statement in my post btw?
I just got 7, I would hate to have to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading. Is there a flaw with 7 I don't know about?
