Q: Is there an alternative voor Wine running on OSX 10.9.4 or latter?

I can't seem to use it on the newer MBPr.

CES 2015: Panasonic Will Ship TVs In 2015 Powered By Mozilla's Firefox OS

Firefox OS is coming to a bigger screen near you as Mozilla partners with Panasonic to bring the open-source mobile operating system to smart HDTVs. It’s a first for the OS, which had previously been restricted to a small set of mobile devices: 16 smartphone models throughout 29 countries.

Mozilla and Panasonic tout Firefox OS as an easier way to access and navigate through HDTV content. “This new platform enables developers and service providers to create a wide range of applications and services to deliver a new user experience," Li Gong, senior vice president of mobile devices and president of Asia operations at Mozilla, said in a press release.

The partnership with Panasonic will expand the devices on which Firefox OS runs even further as it gets integrated into Panasonic's Life+ smart LCD HDTVs, rolling out throughout 2015. Panasonic has also hinted at Firefox OS’ role in powering the smart home, touting the ability to monitor and operate smart appliances throughout a household.

As content creators and television manufacturers battle it out in 2015 with big pushes for 4K ultra HD content and display technologies, developers are also vying to create the software that power those televisions. The addition of Firefox OS to Panasonic HDTVs follows a similar move by LG in recent years as it integrated WebOS into its television sets after acquiring the operating system from Hewlett-Packard.

I just found this.... What do you think about this, guys?

Why I decided to relax and love AMD 7970

As many of you know on PV I am a bit of a Apple Fanboy. Its ok. I know. Anyway. I have just installed a 7970 for FCPX editing. Frankly I have never experienced this sort of acceleration before in my life (I do have a 5770- and FCP7 - so that was 'fast', kind of).

Frankly in FCPX I now find that you have to switch off the scrubber almost all the time, as it will scrub everything you touch. Before in my old system it would kind of play stuff back if it could- but now- ehh! Talk about annoying. Move mouse to change some value- ZzzzzzzZzzzip.

Oh well.

Maybe this is what After Effects was talking about? I don't know. But I do know I just watched my timeline background render itself while I made myself a coffee. (The project is 1 Hour long with 1000's of transitions - effects - animations - ken burns etc.

I think that I may get 2.

A bit like what that Edius guy said the other day on the forum: 'render? what is that?'

OS X can't recognize 1 hour + spanned footage using Cbrandin 44mb/s

Hi, on my last two gigs, one an hour and a half concert and the other a 2 hour reading, @ the end of the night when I plugged my 64gb Sandisk 90mb/s into a mac to transfer the footage, OS X said it couldn't recognize the card and asked if I wanted to "initialize" it! I thought I'd lost the footage, but when I got home and plugged my card into my windows 7 machine, the files were there like normal. Is anyone else seeing this happen? thx, Jayson youtube.com/AWDEfilms
