Video Co-Pilot is pretty cool, any discount codes for their software? Personal branding apps are genius, expect to see lots more of these later this year and take off in 2011!
Oh and I have to give a shout out to a new media event I’m co-hosting this Monday the 23rd at the beautiful Hyatt in Yorkville. New Media Vault Toronto, RSVP now http://newmediavaulttoronto1.eventbrite.com/
Am I the only one who continuously has sync problems with the h.264 iTunes feed? This never used to be a problem and now it’s almost an every episode occurrence. I love the show, been watching since ep 5, please fix the feed, I’m tired of having to re-encode every episode just to watch it.
I am looking for the wish list button on this web site, I think I will get that scanner Jeff was showing off for Christmas. Oh don’t tell me winter is around the corner. LOL.
Points to Faisal. I loved his dry delivery. Was that wind shot a product placement for the chicken store? Any HTC Evo or Droid apps in the future? It’s new toy & of course I want to know all about it before it becomes obsolete. Whoops! Too late…
You guys were talking about minimizing visual strain when using your computer. I stumbled across a free app there that is designed to reduce visual in low light environments. Its called Nocturne.
If nothing else it will make you OS look like something from an 80s sci-fi ‘imagined OS of the future’. You can customize it too, and turn it off pretty easily. It also can be set to use light censor on your computer to switch between “day” and “night” modes.
Wow! More incredibly poor analysis from the technocrats at Command N.
Ms. Mac said: “Perhaps [Mellencamp]’s just a little bit jealous because he’s not as popular anymore and he’s looking for a new way to revive his career.”
This is one of the most specious and superficial condemnations of Mellencamp I’ve ever read… and I’m not even a fan of his music! It also reveals both a deep ignorance of the man’s decades-long public battles with the more unsavory aspects of the music industry as well as a terribly naive understanding of the many, many ways information and communication technologies — like the internet — have significantly undermined the development and welfare of artists. Mellencamp’s perspective may be more than a little polemic, I’ll grant you that, but it is a valid point of view that is shared by an increasing number of thoughtful scholars and cultural critics. A few examples for your review:
I think you guys know this stuff already. Nonetheless, if these kinds of terse, ad hominem attacks constitute the very best criticism you guys can muster right now… perhaps Command N should just stay out of the discussion all together. Otherwise you’ll be doing more harm than good.
For your more discerning viewers, by the way, I highly recommend this Huffington Post article (from a year ago — BEFORE the release of his latest album), written by Mellencamp himself:
I started receiving your RSS feed a couple years back (when the lovable Mikey was still around). At the time, I was impressed by what I thought was a fun, slick, light-hearted, informed, and generally responsible media production that tried honestly to engage and report on the growing global internet culture that we all known and love.
But now, after having to sit through Mr. Mac’s repetitive Apple-fanboy commercials, the embarrassing Command N whitewashing of Facebook’s repeated violations of user privacy, the anti-humanist, neoliberal, social-networking-as-business-and-PR-platform “Power Friending” segment, as well as your shallow assault on Mellencamp’s internet critique… well, I may just have to reconsider my original position.
I’m 1st!
Neat! nice review.
Could you do one the ScanSnap 1300 sometime?

1968 wasn’t 1940.

Just a heads up.
