Under New Management

In legacy versions of Final Cut Pro you had to set scratch disks to manage where your video data and cache files would be stored. And you were limited to twelve drives at any one time. Final Cut Pro X makes it easier to specify where your video and project files are stored, automatically saving your Events and Projects in the Movies folder by default. But have no fear, your Events and Projects can be stored on any drive connected to your Mac, and you can easily move existing Events and Projects between drives when needed to keep your stories organized.

Intangible Tangibility

Tamron 18~200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC E-Mount Lens

The NEX 7 I have not seen before, but apart from one and a half little niggles, I am in love with this little beastie; it takes fantastic shots. And the niggle and a bit? The viewfinder as it brings up my left eye dominant issue is the big one. The half is as it has an auto LCD to viewfinder switch when you look through the viewfinder, if you wear glasses, sometimes it does 'sense' you unless you press hard against the rubber cup and this tends to smear your specs.

How Rackmount Servers Make Business More Efficient

There's a reason most IT departments are squirreled away in the dark recesses of a building, and it's not just because they're closer to the servers that way. IT services are an out-of-sight-out-of-mind part of most organizations, because their contributions are as fundamental - and often as taken for granted - as heat and lighting. Often, the after-thought nature of the IT department leaves companies struggling with the growing pains of using a smattering of small servers, when what they need is a couple of rackmount servers. The benefits of making that transition are anything but slight. Read More
