When Apple released Front Row 1.0 two weeks ago, it was almost a side note in Steve’s address. Much more time was dedicated to the new iPod and the new iMac. But it was Front Row that appears to have captured the attention of the Mac community.
For the unfamiliar, Front Row is Apple’s first foray into the home media center market. While not a full fledged PVR (personal video recorder), Front Row does add a great deal...
Here's a video my wife and I shot while decorating the Christmas tree back in December of 2000. I was just learning Final Cut Pro at the time, and it seemed like a good reason...

Music, Photos, Videos, DVD's, and a remote control... Since the release of the Mac Mini, people have been dreaming of a way to integrate the Mini into their entertainment center. Now, with the release of Front Row, the Mini has a new home.

There has been buzz about fiber-optic internet service, or FiOS. With connection speeds up too 15Mbps, its appears to be the ultimate internet connection. But with that kind of bandwidth, Version is also offering HD television.
This is the first review I have read where someone has actually had the FiOS...
Yahoo.com has released a new Podcasting index that is currently in beta. It works with the Mac, or Windows and is even capable of using iTunes as the Podcast client.
So why use Yahoo when this is already built into iTunes 5? That was my first question too. One reason might be that iTunes, though being the first to do a good job of integrating the Podcast aggregator into a Podcast catalog, has not done all that it could. Apple has add the support to iTunes and the iTunes music store, but the support is...

This morning, Macromedia announce that Mac OS X Tiger is now supported by ColdFusion MX 7. This has been a long time coming, and to be honest, I had about given up on the release. The support has been rumored for years now. Today the support was finally announced...
Project Motorsport started out as a fun way to spend an afternoon. We set out to shoot some motorcycle video and have a good time. Once when we brought the video back and began to edit, we realized we had the making of a music video.

The Freedom to Switch:
In 2003 Apple Computer released a marketing campaign with the intention of showing Wintel users how easy it would be to "switch" platforms.
One of the Mac's main selling points, ironically enough, was Digital Video Editing. Apple wanted the world to see how easy it was to edit video on the Mac platform. And, in overwhelming response, Mac users set out to show the world just how easy it really was.
The campaign was effective for Apple, but also spawned a unexpected parody campaign in the Mac underworld. Users from all of the world whipped out their camcorders and set to work making spoofs in the same cinematic style as the acclaimed commercial line.
With this, Maclive.net rose to the challenge and shot our own spoof. We think it proves that a Mac can be a powerful tool in the wrong hands. It also shows how far a couple of Mac fans will go for a laugh. We hope you enjoy our contribution, aptly named The Freedom to Switch.
