    Apple just announced the iPad oh ya!

    I remember very distinctly watching a "making of" clip on The Matrix and I swear they said the time slice interpolation was done with Adobe Premier, and IIRC, as I watched it being done I remember noticing that I was looking at the same version I was using at the time. BTW, Premier in 97...

    Apple just announced the iPad oh ya!

    you're crazy. I WAS a PC/Mac tech for an ad/marketing firm (one of the biggest). I had just as many mac calls as I did Win32 calls. Granted, this was back when the dual 1GHz Quicksilver was the fastest Mac money could buy (dwarfed by any run-of-the-mill dual 2GHz Xeon workstation). We had a...

    Apple just announced the iPad oh ya!

    as a point of fact, I've been using Premier on the PC (and SGI for that matter) since version 4.2. Back then (1997) my counterpart at the software company I did freelance work for was using the same software using a Mac. We saw no real difference between the two. "The Matrix" rotation...

    as long as that "internet stuff" doesn't involve Flash or Java, you might be able to do "internet stuff".

    follow the leader??? Dude... tablets are not new at all. They've been around for well over a decade and they've run Windows. Exactly who is playing catch up???

    Apple just announced the iPad oh ya!

    I can honestly see you doing something like that. And... just having to buy a keyboard separately increases the cost of the whole thing. The Asus tablet/netbook is a FAR better deal.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220661 ^^^ See that??? Multi-touch screen, functions as a tablet AND a netbook/laptop, and all the little crap that the iPad has. NOTHING the iPad has is NEW! Even the processor isn't unique! Cyrix made a processor just like it called...

    Apple just announced the iPad oh ya!

    dude... $300 for a Netbook with 1GB of ram, 160-250GB hard drive, WiFi+3G Cel modem, a REAL OS, not a "gadget OS". Yeah, the digital Kotex has a touch screen, but... SO F_CKING WHAT??? A Netbook runs REAL apps, want the REAL Facebook??? Log into it with IE, Firefox, Opera...

    they couldn't come up with a better name??? iPad sounds like digital Kotex... I expect Mac zealots to immediately spooge their pants and declare it the best thing since sex was invented

    Any Recomendations?

    Good to know that worked for you. However, in order to get low latency, you'll need a proper audio interface. If you're going to shop beats, you should get into ProTools. You can still do your composition in FL Studio (which is how I do it), but if you sell to a rapper that's recording in a...

    Any Recomendations?

    It's an ASIO device as well. Here's a test for you: Click on this link: http://tippach.business.t-online.de/asio4all/ASIO4ALL_2_9_English.exe That will download ASIO4All, this will give nearly any WDM soundcard an ASIO layer to be used in pro applications. Once you've downloaded and...

    Any Recomendations?

    if your primary focus is hip hop, then you'll eventually have to touch ProTools. You can go for the Mbox Mini which comes with a copy of ProTools LE 8 or step into an M-Audio device for cheaper which gives you the option of buying ProTools M-Powered at a later date. MBox Mini -...

    Any Recomendations?

    yep, all you need is an interface, even a Fast Track USB would do you good. I had one for my old 2.0GHz Pentium M laptop and I could see 5-8ms of latency with no pops or crackles.

    Did I mention I hate windows?

    Doesn't matter, the trojans I listed are RECENT and there's plenty more too. In early 2006 everyone was all up in arms 'cause there was a zero-day exploit in the wild for OSX (drive-by malware). Some of the cats I knew back then refused to believe it was possible until we tested it in one of our...

    Did I mention I hate windows?

    I was one of three admins for OSX and the only one that supported both Mac and Windows when I worked for a large ad/marketing firm. This was when OSX first came out. I've owned Macs up to the "Quicksilver" G4 867. I stopped running Macs and sold all of the macs I still had (B&W G3, 9600/300...

    Any Recomendations?

    your laptop is probably fine for music, it just sounds like you need a good audio interface. Post up the specs of your current laptop.

    Did I mention I hate windows?

    no, the XBox and PS3 ARE different platforms. From a hardware perspective, a Mac is no different from a PC minus a couple of minor changes for OSX to boot. This is the reason you can run Windows on a Mac and OSX on a properly equipped PC. The difference comes down to the OS and the expense...

    Did I mention I hate windows?

    No, I don't have to admit that it's more secure because, to me, it just isn't. I don't feel good about an OS that purposely hides it's internals from me. Windows exposes far more of itself to me than OSX does on the surface, and Linux goes even further than that. The typical OSX user that has a...

    to any of you who believe Apple's propoganda that Macs are virus proof, I would like to have you look at these: http://www.securemac.com/applescript-tht-trojan-horse.php There's an OSX trojan. http://www.osnews.com/story/20827/New_Mac_OS_X_Trojan_Found_in_Pirated_iWork_09 ... and...
