Final Cut Pro X is the new iMovie
June 24th, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
It looks like Final Cut Pro X has been ruined, with a slew of featured removed from the latest version. This is professional software (hence the Pro bit in the name), not something that’s meant to be easy for home users. That’s why iMovie exists. Anyway, check out the funny video above.

UK Government Gets My Vote
June 3rd, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
The alpha of the future gov.uk website is a user centric tour de force. The site is still under heavy development but has been released early to generate feedback which is vital for such a revolutionary design. Hit the homepage and you aren’t overwhelmed by crowded navigation and one thousand options, instead there is a friendly, Bing inspired search box. This clever hits at it’s use and offers a couple of examples, and when you type it rapidly offers suggestions. Type in book and it offers book a driving test, renew a library book, book a sports facility etc. All very diverse but all of them are tasks — actions to be performed.

HT(RON)ML5 Goodness
June 3rd, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
Microsoft and Disney have partnered to bring you an HTML5 powered TRON extravaganza. The simple, sideways sweeping interface works equally as well with mouse, keyboard or touch screens. Gorgeous and very slick, each cell slides, fades or pans into place creating an exciting comic book experience. It really shows the graphical and performance potential of HTML5 and runs best on the fully hardware accelerated IE9 but other modern browsers can have a go too. It’s great to see this is possible using open, cross platform technologies, and offers a glimpse at the type of graphics available in Windows 8 HTML based apps when they arrive next year.

May 12th, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
Last year Microsoft launched the Kinect, a controllerless, gesture and voice based interface for the XBOX360. It’s become the fastest selling consumer electronics product ever which is very impressive when you consider the opposition it faced. It was an amazingly innovative product that made sci-fiction a reality for anyone. However it required a camera to detect your movements, so now they’ve gone a step further.
