Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I paid for iLife '09 when I upgraded, overall I think it was worth it. The new iPhoto is pretty fantastic.
(The new iMovie, on the other hand, I may actually hate EVEN MORE than its predecessors. And my old version of FCX won't run on my new computer because I don't have the right graphics card. Which means I'll probably wind up paying to upgrade - the newer versions can run on the integrated MacBook Pro graphics cards. Oh, and Avid discontinued FreeDV somewhere along the way. BOO EXPENSIVE NONLINEAR EDITING SOFTWARE.)
Going back a bit to that list. The Blu Ray is doomed but maybe not for a while. Swinburne Uni in Australia has developed a new system that can store up to 64 HiDef movies on a DVD. It's all to do with different coloured lasers n shit like that but even though they've signed a development deal with Samsung, it won't be commercially available for at least 5 years.

Holographic storage, which the Swinburne technology is a variant of, has been five years away for the past thirty years or so.

Huh. Sorta' like how AI was ten years away for 30 or 40 years. Now it's 20 to 30 years away for the last ten years.
I'm predicting that iOverlord will be announced at MacWorld 2015.
Yes, but it will be marketed as iProtector.
Nah, it's more like iMom, the friendly Apple application that tells you what to do with your life. Every major life decision is made for you by iMom. Because iMom loves you and only wants what's best for you.
I expect that iMom will keep you under iMom's wing. iMom will not let you fly, but iMom might let you sing.
Also, Apple will license a Laurie Anderson song for the commercials....
Cause when love is gone, there's always justice
And when justice is gone, there's always force
And when force is gone, there's always iMom
iMom!
I have an Excel spreadsheet currently formatted 90% from where I want it. Is there an easy way to turn a column into a row? (i.e., right now I want the values in column A to be the values in row 2, and the values in column B to be the values in row 1.)
