Finally, after whetting our appetites for long enough, Apple releases Final Cut Pro X, a revolutionary software tool that will change the face of video editing, but only on Macs. There was much speculation about when it’d be released, knowing that Apple normally runs press releases on Tuesdays, and since they promised it to be in June, it was highly likely to be today, or next week. For long enough, Apple has lagged behind Grass Valley’s Edius offering, or even … Continue reading
Everyone knows Steve Jobs is one of the world’s most gifted persons, not just in product design or marketing, but also in his presentation skills. Just recently, I was able to watch a speech he gave several years ago and it is extremely motivational and inspires everyone to excel and succeed in life. Do spend 15 minutes of your life on this as it is one of those videos worth watching. The best quote from the video is: “Remember to … Continue reading
Happy New Year and may 2011 be a great year for us all. However, as we place more and more reliance on digital gadgets, there can be bugs that arise and may cause us grief. This morning on the 1st of January 2011, my iPhone 3Gs (iOS4.x) alarm didn’t go off as scheduled and I thought it strange. My wife’s iPhone 3G (OS3.x) alarm rang, though. I didn’t give it much thought, until I read a status message on Facebook … Continue reading
Buying an iPhone4, or an iPad? Your existing SIM cards will not fit into these devices. Yes, Steve Jobs is changing the rules. For the uninitiated, here’s some news for you – your existing SIM cards CAN be converted to Micro SIMs easily and without having to pay extra dollars to your local telco. Of course, there are Micro SIM cutters that you can buy, but why bother, if you’re only going to ever cut up one of your SIM … Continue reading
We are on the brink of the iPad launch in Malaysia, as reported by many. In line with that, I thought it appropriate to share a video that was shot at the cozy beanbag corner of our Integricity office. We had several early-adopters of the iPad join in for a discussion on how they use their toy for work and play. We heard from Ben Israel (then Digital Strategy Director at Integricity Interactive), Niki Cheong (avid blogger & The Star journalist), Toh … Continue reading
I’ve been working with video for more than a year now and have learnt so much over that period. I really want to thank my wife Grace who runs her video/photography company called Stories for teaching me so much. Now, I teach her stuff too! With all these awesome videos, I want to show them off on our iPhones and iPad. Digging around for the best and optimum video settings to compress to is just a pain. I’ve summarized my … Continue reading
If you’re as big a fan of watching movie clips via VLC as me, you’ll be thrilled to know it’s now available on the iPad. Ever since discovering this awesome, FREE app, I have used it to watch every single movie I have. It plays just about every single format and codec known to man. Here’s what VLC themselves say about their app. VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework, that plays most multimedias files … Continue reading
Time-to-market is key in the race to “break the news”, but news agencies oftentimes seem to falter with information that is seemingly handed to them, and not verified. Some, as with this case, have their new media staff on standby to write up and post news quickly, even on weekends! Today, the Daily Mail, UK’s 2nd biggest-selling newspaper made a boo boo by quoting a parody Twitter account, thinking it was the REAL Steve Jobs. Many of us who spend … Continue reading
Need protection for your iPad? Jokes surrounding the name for Apple’s latest device have been floating around since the second Steve Jobs announced the product, but these guys take the pie for making it the jokes a reality. This iMaxi product with wings is probably slated as a gag that will humiliate that insane Apple fanboy/fangirl in your life who incessantly talks about Apple, Apple, APPLE. It’s fairly cheap to give away as a crazy gift, but I wouldn’t be … Continue reading
In a humorous article I saw recently in PC World, I thought I’d extract the fictitious profiles of 2 of the greatest tech innovators of all time and share them with you. They put a smile on my face, something we all need on a Monday morning, huh? Here’s Bill Gates of Microsoft fame – note the snide comments to Steve Jobs. Looks at the contextual advertisement that appeared on the right hand column too! And now, Steve Jobs, the … Continue reading
Here lie my thoughts: that of an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, videographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac-user and husband.
