Pricing Deal on iMovie HD/iDVD 5 QuickProject

It’s funny, but Amazon has offered discounted books for so long that I just assumed that discounts automatically apply. But when I last looked at the Amazon page for Making a Movie in iMovie HD and iDVD 5: Visual QuickProject Guide, it has no discount. (Of course, the book is ridiculously low-priced at $12.99, but ...

Typo in iMovie 4/iDVD 4 QuickProject

Alert reader John pointed out that a sentence was cut off on page 72 of the first edition of Making a Movie with iMovie and iDVD: Visual QuickProject Guide. In the last “extra bits” column, the sentence should end, “… via Bluetooth in the Share dialog.” Fortunately, that error was corrected in the second edition ...

FC Studio, Adobe, and NAB

My brain is exploding today. Partly that’s because I was up until 3 am editing today’s super-packed TidBITS issue (which will go online later today, and by the way, TidBITS turns 15 this week!).

Apple – H.264 FAQ

The National Association of Broadcasters conference (NAB) starts this week, so expect a flood of news coming from Las Vegas. I had hoped to be there this year, but didn’t get my act in gear early enough, and couldn’t honestly justify paying $300 per night at the hotel rooms that were left. Lots of rumors ...

Best US Barista

The New York Times has an article about Phuong Tran, this year’s United States Barista champion. I saw her get the title last month at the US Barista Championships, which was fun and a new experience. I’ll be at the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) conference this weekend, which is being held in Seattle, ...
