Hello….?

Alternate not being an exception, I’ve noticed a severe dip in ‘blog updates lately.. Hrmm.. Maybe it’s because it’s January and work for us all has picked up (has for me) or if December’s just a natural time for obsessive and often blogging. Who knows.

Holy shit

Okay. In MacOS X, if you take a screenshot of a flash movie in IE and then drop it into Illustrator…

The shot is still a vector. Does anyone else think that’s just insane? I’m loving this OS more and more.

It always seems like pipelines are the problem

The most explosive charge, Paula, is that the Bush administration — the present one, just shortly after assuming office slowed down FBI investigations of al Qaeda and terrorism in Afghanistan in order to do a deal with the Taliban on oil — an oil pipeline across Afghanistan.

These are some interesting allegations that this book makes. But what is the title of the book? They never say in the transcript. However, this shouldn’t come as a shock.

Backstage pass to the future? Maybe not…

…but it sure is cool.

Alternate’s possibly some people’s only Mac-news outlet, so here goes:

  1. New iMac, flat-panel 700 & 800 mhz G4 models, looks like a lamp some people say, SuperDrive on the high-end, prices at normal iMac prices ($1200 and up)
  2. iPhoto, pretty cool new digital photo studio thingamajig for MacOS X only, sort photos, share them, edit them, buy hard-bound books with them for $30, etc. Pretty fucking cool.
  3. 14″ iBook and lowered prices on the 12″ models, no speed bump for them
  4. No new G4s announced, kind of a let-down as the iMac is so cool, a newer, faster G4 tower to expand the Pro line would have made sense, but whatever.

I’m sure I’ll be told if I’ve left anything out….
