Well if you missed it Apple announced new MBP Laptops as well as did a very in depth coverage of the upcoming iOS6 and Mountain Lion.

Topic: Robin Harris from ZDNet Storage Bits
Robin Harris from ZDNet’s Storage Bits is coming down from beautiful Sedona, AZ to talk to us about the current state Hard Drive technology and in particular Apple’s acquisition of Anobit and what it means to Apple and their competitors. It should be a very interesting meeting.
For those interested, Phil should have CS6 installed on his laptop by then so he can at least give a quick demo if time permits.

iOS Video could take on a whole new meaning with this!
Check out this article that was just posted in Wired. This is an amazing device with a proposed retail price of $130. This could truly revolutionize video with this amount of very low cost remote camera control. You can preorder one for yourself by participating in the kick-starter program.

Tonight one of our awesome leaders, Phil Hoppes did a great presentation on the latest release of Final Cut Pro X.
He brought several things up that of course really cause lots of discussion. Multi-cam. Relinking media. SSD vs regular hard drives.
Thanks Phil for all the planning and time you spent on the presentation.
