Still broken this Safari 5.1.1

Safari 5.1.1 is still suffering from hang-ups and excessive memory usage despite of what Apple claimed. In OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.1 hangs up when opening multiple tabs or windows. Safari 5.1 becomes unresponsive as phantom page reloads occur.

I noticed this as I was downloading files in the background. The download was interrupted as the phantom page reloads happened.

Apple updates Final Cut Pro X

Apple released updates to Final Cut Pro X, including Motion and Compressor.

Notable changes on Final Cut Pro X:

  • Inport and export XML to support third-party workflows.
  • Place Projects and Events on Xsan to improve collaboration between editors.

 

I thought this App is now free.

I went to Fry’s to pick-up a 10-foot-HDMI Cable for $5 the other night. As usual I walked around the store and saw a retail box of Disco Burning App. For a mere $39.99 you can own this fantastic App.

You can also get this app at DiscoApp.com with a free license. Just in case you didn’t know, Disco Burning App now comes with free license. It is also discontinued.

Lodsys is on suing spree again.

Lodsys filed more patent infringiment lawsuit against six companies as reported by FOSS Patents blog. The six companies are:

  • DriveTime Automotive Group
  • ESET
  • ForeSee Results
  • LivePerson
  • OpinionLab
  • The New York Times Company

ForeSee Results and ESET previously issued challenges against Lodsys’ patent portfolio.

Lodsys has filed lawsuits against numbers of iOS and Android developers. Apple has filed motion to intervene on Lodsys Patent Lawsuit against iOS Developers. Apple and Google are licensees of Lodsys’ patent portfolio, and might be contractually barred from challenging Lodsys’ patents.

Final Cut Pro X, give it some time to grow up.

One conversation with fellow editors today was about Final Cut Pro X. Some hates it and some loves it. Give it some time for Apple to add features to Final Cut Pro X.

One person feels strongly about it.

By the way, how do you pronounce the “X” in Final Cut Pro X?

Is it “ten” as in Roman Numeral or “ex” as in extortion?
