Apple Introduces Aperture 3.

When the Apple Store went down for updates, many were hoping hor the 32-core MacBook Pro to magically appear on Tuesday morning. Well, we all have to wait.

Introducing Aperture 3 (2010.02.09)

Apple today introduced Aperture 3, the next major release of its powerful photo editing and management software. Aperture 3 offers more than 200 new features including Faces, Places, and Brushes. A 30-day trial is now available for download.

I just downloaded the trial, and will play around with it today.

Aperture 3 requires Intel-based Macs (sorry, PowerPC Macs) running minimum of Mac OS X 10.5.11 or Mac OS X 10.6.2.

David Ellefson Returns To Megadeth Line-Up.

It’s a surprise and somewhat predictable. David Ellefson rejoins Dave Mustaine and Megadeth per the announcement on Monday February 8th, 2010. Megadeth is set to embark on “Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour” starting March 2010 and at this point in time are busy rehearsing every single song from the seminal record.

The return of Ellefson into Megadeth ranks means a departure for James LoMenzo who recorded “United Abominations” and “Endgame” in 2007 and 2009 respectively. So far there has been no explanation what really happened within Megadeth with regards to LoMenzo.

Adobe Responds to Flash Crash Bug.

As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.

Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.

I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.

Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.

Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!
