This! I mean, it's not full of every feature and every performance optimization, but you know what? It is still the best tool for the job.

Silly as this is, I've often thought about digitally recording smells for re-emission. For the consumer it probably isn't very useful, but having been knee-deep in the theatre world in my college years, I longed for the opportunit

Is there a link to a small cut of the footage somewhere? Obviously it may not be represented 100% on our MacBook Pros, but I'm interested in seeing the high frame rate at work in this instance more than the extreme resolution.

Thanks for the info -- I think that's covered in what I describe in my edit, though likely not as directly as this. In my edit I realized that an open app with no open windows causes this behavior; a window being confined in the Dock m

No editing here but that's okay. I only just came back to this conversation now :D I think Delorean, Pendulum, Arrow, etc, aim to make dealing with dates more understandable and less painful. It's perfectly possible to fully grasp
