So, I upgraded to snow leopard a little while ago, and last night I was going to dick around in iMovie. To my surprise, I couldn't find it. Is it not included in snow leopard?

I have been using a Mac Mini for Boom Recorder on my cart since 2006. I started out with the first generation that finally bit the dust (probably literally) in 2007 and upgraded to the intel version. However it has been plagued with continual "logic board" failures. By the way "Logic Board" failure seems to be the "fits all" repair solution for misbehaving Macs. Just searching this topic will reveal that just about every brand of mac has had "bad" logic board issues for years. But I digress. The intel Mac Mini had it's logic board replaced in November 2008, then May 2009 and most recently in August 2010. In all cases I was not charged for the repair, I did not have…

After all the security issues that have been dancing around the news of late I started to look into software that manages passwords. There's just no real way for me to remember passwords that are truly secure and varied so I wanted to see what folks were using. I'd love to have an integration of the many computers, tablets and phones that we all use and to see if there's a fairly seamless yet secure piece of software out there. 1 Password looks good according to CNET but I thought I'd see if anyone here was using something that they liked. https://agilebits.com/onepassword/mac Thanks, Scott

Pen for iPad. Just found this on the app store today. I find myself with no time to type sound reports during a shoot. This looks handy to me for just making quick notes on the fly and later transfer to Sound Reporter. I also like that I can use a big fat red marker to tell someone on set something without making a sound or trying to use hand signals to convey a simple message. To me with the eraser and pen and type tools it works like a Etch a Sketch with pages. Will let you know how it works. Tom Maloney

I'm wirelessly running a Brother MFC-J435 all in one printer on my iMac (OS 10.5.. I can print just fine, but I can't access any of the other functions on my computer (scanning, fax etc) because the Control Center (interface between the printer and the computer) won't load up. It's been this way since I got it. Just haven't needed the other functions till now. I reloaded the included software and got the latest firmware installed as well. I click on the Control Center icon and it just sits there. Tried all the other ways of opening as well. All the other included software opens just fine. Any thoughts? Bernie

Interesting brief article (with links) highlighting some history and present accounts of the state of patents, featuring Apple, Google and others. An Inside Look at Apple's Role in the Patent Industry Monday October 8, 2012 10:53 am PDT by Eric Slivka In the seventh installment of its "iEconomy" series focused on Apple, The New York Times takes a look at patents, examining how and why Apple has wielded them in what seems to be a never-ending series of lawsuits between the company and its competitors. The seven-page article offers an interesting glimpse into the patent process and traces Apple's aggressive efforts to a $100 million settlement paid b…

-excerpted from Macworld site Remembering eWorld, Apple's forgotten online service Benj Edwards @benjedwards Jun 9, 2014 3:44 AMe-mailprint Just before the Internet’s meteoric rise in the public consciousness, large centralized dial-up services like America Online, Prodigy, and CompuServe dominated the online landscape. In this competitive climate 20 years ago, Apple introduced eWorld, a subscription-based information service available to Mac and Newton users. Despite its closure in 1996, eWorld remains notable for its city-based interface metaphor and as a symbol of Apple’s overreach in the era. Users accessed eWorld through custom client software written by…

From the US public-radio show Marketplace comes this story: The story begins with a factory just outside of Shanghai. It's three football fields long; it's blue and gray; and it's owned by the Taiwanese company Kaedar Electronics. In August, environmental groups released a report saying Kaedar's factory was emitting toxic levels of pollution. The report also said the company was making products for Apple -- which is notorious for keeping its supply chain secret. The report said the pollution was so bad that it was making people in a nearby village sick. So, I went there. You can listen or read the story and see some pictures here: http://www.marketpla...…

I was looking around the You Tube and found one of my favorite old programs. Connections with James Burke. In the below linked episode he outlines a personal assistant on his MAC laptop while in India and it bears an uncanny resemblance to Siri or Google Plus. This show was produced in 1997 almost a decade before the iPhone was announced. So let's hope Apple didn't notice this video when they were filing patent applications for Siri. The pertinent part starts about 2 minutes in. And if you haven't seen the rest of the series it is a fascinating look at the various connections between historical events and scientific discovery. It had 3 series all of them amazi…

So my wife wants a new laptop for Christmas. She has finally realized what pieces of crap each of her previous PC laptops have been, and since we are all Apple on everything including our phones, she wants a MacBook. But.... There are a couple of programs (including her software that runs her embroidery machine) that are Windows only. I downloaded a demo of Parallels on our iMac, but couldn't seem to make it work properly. Can someone suggest the best version of Windows and the best "parallel" software to run Windows programs on a new MacBook? Do I have to buy Windows AND the "parallel" software. Any suggestions about getting a full version of Windows inexpens…

It is well known now that the traditional method of scrolling in Lion will be REVERSED from the behavior we have all gotten accustomed to for probably the last 15 or 20 years of computer use. We can spend a lot of time debating the logic or philosophy behind the act of scrolling the contents of a window but it is clear that Apple has made a global decision that changes a lot of this thinking. from Macworld website: According to Apple, "When you scroll or swipe in Lion, content now moves in the same direction as your finger." In other words, drag two fingers downward on a MacBook's trackpad or Apple's Magic Trackpad — or spin your mouse's scroll wheel towards you…

Cult of Mac recently conducted an interview with former Apple CEO John Sculley, who headed up the computer maker from 1983 until 1993 and on whose watch Steve Jobs was ousted from the company he founded. The interview offers an interesting glimpse into Jobs' perspective on Apple and how his principles of aesthetic design, minimalism, and perfectionism have influenced Apple over its entire existence. Sculley emphasizes Jobs' view of the customer experience, incorporating that perspective into every aspect of product design. But even from their earliest days, Jobs and Apple shied away from focus groups, with Jobs arguing that it was impossible to gain feedback on revolut…
