Quote of the Day
From Matt McAlister’s “Eweek doesn’t want me to visit eweek.com”
I thought the IntelliTxt issue was dead, but media sites scrapping to maintain profits on the page view model are bottom feeding for clicks with clutter and misleading links. Instead, they should spend their resources courting relationships with readers.
Why the Future Belongs to User Generated Content
Or maybe just small firms that go viral.
Check out this commercial from the Cary, NC team of 5pointproduction (warning way too much non-direct linkable flash).
And I love the blog
It’s talent + access to pro-quality tools that’s getting easier and easier + web-based resources that make it easy to get yourself out there (but only if you are willing to try and learn those resources) + more talent.
Wow, I’m actually positive about the future of content generation again.
Transitions
From Chuq’s It’s Almost MacWorld Time
It’s almost hard to remember back to when the Intel transition was announced. Remember all of the pundits predicting disaster? the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes? Well, the Intel transition was so painless Steve can’t even bring it up and say “hey, we did a nice job, no?” — because it was, basically, automatic and invisible. that’s a good problem to have, but not one to manage the hype here.
You know, besides the time delays for parts of the userbase that had to wait a year for a Universal Photoshop (which is still much better than Quark’s delay getting to OS X) - that PowerPC to Intel transition may be the absolute smoothest transition of that magnitude I have ever seen. I was doing Macintosh things at the transition from 68K to PowerPC (had one of the first 6100’s out the door) and don’t remember it being that smooth.
To heck with any other product Apple has, that CPU transition impresses me the most.
