AVID STUDIO RELEASES VIDEO EDITING APP FOR IPAD

By JD on 03 February 2012 in GADGETS with No Comments

DOPE

Avid has provided an special Avid Studio app for the iPad that is supposed to complement its AVID Studio on desktop PCs. It’s classified as a “prosumer” app and will supposedly do most things desktop editing suites can do, but it really won’t be able to execute on everything. Some downfalls to the new app include: pro-level editors working on a smaller screen, not having the ability to export a Flash video fire and burn video files to a CD or DV and users won’t want to export lots of large, high-def. video files on the iPad because it’ll take up too much space. But at $4.99, the app is pretty cheap, but the price will jump to $8 next month.

Forget $100B! Facebook could soon be worth $200B

200 BILLION DAMN!!!!

This is a revised version of a story that appeared on CNET earlier today; it is republished with permission.

For all the naysaying about Facebook, that it’s a flash in the pan and such, there are very few that say that “social” is going away.

Facebook has defined the social era of computing — and the companies that defined the previous eras of computing each command market values of $200 billion or more.
Facebook should get there, too.

IBM kicked off the mainframe era of computing and to this day is the leader in big enterprise computers and services. Microsoft was an early leader in personal computer software and now dominates microprocessor based desktops and servers. And after joining the scrum at the tail end of the dotcom boom of the 1990s, Google emerged as the leader of the Internet era of computing, amassing huge market share and most of Internet advertising’s profits.

While many still think of Apple as a computer company, it’s not. It’s reinvented itself as the leader of the mobile era of computing. Three quarters of Apple’s revenues are now from the iPhone, iPad, and iPod, and it is in the process of re-creating the Mac as a mobile computer with the MacBook Air. Apple, as the leader of the mobile era of computing, is now valued at an astounding $400 billion plus.

Given the history of IBM, Microsoft, Google, and Apple, which led the mainframe/minicomputer, personal computer, Internet, and mobile eras of computing respectively, it is not that much of a stretch that Facebook, as the company that defines the social era of computing, will be right up there with them. Each of these eras has produced prodigious revenue and earnings, and as Facebook’s S1 filing shows, social is already well on its way to stellar revenue and earnings, making the bulk of its money the way Google does, through advertising.

The leaders of each era have managed to lock in a generation of users ranging from business datacenters, PC operating systems and applications, and the portal by which people search. Facebook’s social graph will be just as persistent. While other niche social networks will emerge, most of us aren’t going to switch.

Of course, Facebook’s current revenue and earnings do not justify such a valuation, but Facebook is still young and doubtless will figure out plenty of ways to make more money, including selling valuable new ad units such as sponsored stories against its increasing number of mobile users. As long as it continues on its existing trajectory, the leader of the social era of computing will join the $200 billion club.

Or — dare I suggest? — the $400 billion club.

FBI Conference Call – #FFF.

By JD on 03 February 2012 in NEWS with 2 Comments

TO KNOW THAT THIS IS REALLY GOING ON, IS EXCITING TO ME

It’s the sort of gamesmanship that keeps readers turning the pages in a spy novel. The FBI says that Anonymous, the loose-knit collective of global hackers, intercepted a highly sensitive callbetween American cybercrime experts and their counterparts at Scotland Yard discussing, what else, Anonymous.
“The FBI might be curious how we’re able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now,” Anonymous teased in a Twitter message.
The 15 minute recording was released on Pastebin and then posted to Youtube. “I’m not sure if we’re the only two on here right now,” says an American agent named Bruce.
“Don’t say anything too bad, I’m on here with Matt,” replied his counterpart from Scotland yard. The group has a chuckle, unaware of the irony.
Anonymous also released an email with the time and password for the conference call, so they may have simply dialed in, rather than using more sophisticated techniques to intercept the conversation.
During the call the investigators discuss how they might proceed against Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis, two British suspects who are set to appear in court as suspected members of Anonymous. Highly sensitive tactics are discussed for when Scotland Yard might move to make further arrests and the evidence they are planning to bring to the trial.
