Back in my days of working pre-press, Print on Demand was a big concern in the industry. It threatened to shake up the way the entire industry operated. And, while new technologies promised such ease of use, they seldom lived up to their ultimate goal.
Lulu.com is an on demand print publishing service that finally offers the type of service that was promised back in the mid 90's. Do you have a book that you want published, but no one is willing to sign you? Why not publish it yourself...
Most people believe that Google is the most powerful search engine on the net. It makes finding even the most obscure information a relatively simple task. But are you taking full advantage of Google's hidden power?
I never really wondered where the infamous keyboard combo of Control+Alt+Delete came from, but that didn't make this video any less fulfilling. I have to admit, I laughed...
In another step forward, Maclive has finally added an RSS feed to Maclive. Just like the blogging software, the RSS feed is generated using a ColdFusion application designed in-house.
There's no hiding it this time. We have heard rumors that Power Mac G5's had been seeded to Xbox 360 developers. That rumor was confirmed at May 2005's Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, in Los Angeles this week.
The Microsoft booth contained a pair of modified G5's that were in fact running the Xbox games that were on display.
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.
Check out the video and see for yourself. And, if your interested in further information on the project, we give you that too!
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.
