Well, it looks like the day after I make a post about Apple not releasing the Universal versions of Final Cut, today they are shipping.
Well, it looks like the day after I make a post about Apple not releasing the Universal versions of Final Cut, today they are shipping. Go figure.
Is anybody other than me a little concerned that we have yet to see the light of day for the Universal versions of Final Cut Studio? I sent in my Soundtrack Pro over a month ago and still have yet to hear anything, although Apple keeps saying the universals will be shipping March 2006.

With the end of march approaching, I am getting a little nervous…
So this past weekend, I had just finished up doing some work at a client, mostly remotely via Remote Desktop, and I wanted to check to make sure there weren’t any unnecessary ports open to the internet.
So this past weekend, I had just finished up doing some work at a client, mostly remotely via Remote Desktop, and I wanted to check to make sure there weren’t any unnecessary ports open to the internet. So I ran a port scan, saw that only the ports I wanted to be opened were open, and then went to connect back to the server. To my surprise, I couldn’t connect! So I tried another port scan, request timed out. Same results with ping. It wasn’t until I left the IP alone for about 20 minutes that I could connect again. Looks like a cool feature. I tested it on a few Comcast home internet users, but I was able to continue to ping, port scan, and connect. Looks like its a business only feature. Cool eh?
Ok, so since we all know the iPod Video 2nd Gen is coming, and so is the iTunes Movie Store, isn’t it logical to think that some sort of Airport AV product is coming too? If Apple is going to start charging $9.99 for feature length films on the Movie Store (that have strict DRM on them and no burning rights), I can’t see consumers being too happy about only being able to watch it on their iPods (whether or not you can connect the iPod to a TV).

After the recent updates to Airport Express (allowing you to play at multiple speakers simultaneously), I think they have some sort of Airport HD-AV product coming soon. I mean, what better way to ensure consumers are happy with the iTunes Movie store than to embed it into both the portable market and the living room. That would be quite a birthday present from Apple come April 1 🙂
Thoughts anyone?
