I’ve been IM’ing today with industry friends about the Macworld keynote, or lack thereof. Most folks have been complaining that the announcements were lackluster. Which is true… but really, that’s like complaining the bus is late because of those darn passengers. ;) I don’t think that Apple CAN always wow us with new offerings. That [...] Related posts:

Last month, Digital Anarchy had some difficulty with our server, store and site… shudder… and had to change vendors unexpectedly. I’ve been combing through our media ever since, trying to find content that didn’t properly survive the transition. Which caused me to stumble upon one of my favorite artists in our Primatte Chromakey gallery. John Riley, [...] Related posts:

So it’s not overly surprising Apple is dropping out of MacWorld. They don’t run the show and they’re pulling out of tradeshows in general (they dropped NAB last year). As I noted in an early post, tradeshows have an incredibly low ROI and with so much happening online now, the real value of them needs to [...] Related posts:

I was clicking around online yesterday, procrastin…er, doing some market research, when I came upon this interesting website, forensicphotoshop.blogspot.com.

I read today on the Studio Monthly blog that Polaroid will stop producing its instant film.
