I just listened to episode 49 of net@night with Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte. This week they had Brad Jefferson on the show. Brad is the co-founder of Animoto. I really got excited when I heard what Animoto is and how easy it is to use the service.

I have been creating video slide shows for years now. I used to build the entire slide show in Final Cut Pro and manually set the ken burns effect by hand. Over the years it is getting easier and easier to build high quality slide shows that look amazing with little effort.

I’ve got to say, living in an iPhone world is great. I have an awesome phone, an even better iPod, and web browsing in Safari is the best on any mobile phone. Everything I mentioned is the default on all iPhone’s. These services are great, but I really want a phone that can do it all, and do it well. There is so much power packed into this tiny device, and I want to use all of it to its full extent. Jailbreak, is the answer to unlocking this power.

I recently read an article from PS3 Fanboy stating the reasons PS3 is relevant again. I found this article very interesting since the format war is over. Is the PS3 relevant now? Below is PS3 Fanboy’s reasons as well as what I think.

If your an Apple fanboy/girl, you are aware that tomorrow Apple is holding a press conference. They are supposedly going to reveal (not release) the long awaited iPhone SDK (software development kit for you n00bs). Most iPhone users have been waiting for this since the iPhone was first released. This will allow third party developers to create applications specifically made for the iPhone. There is already a method for getting an application on the iPhone, but it requires the user to jailbreak the iPhone. However with a jailbroken iPhone, you already have access to some great apps that are extremely useful in your day to day life. Now with the SDK in hand developers can make these apps and many more available to all users of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I was recently reading Chris Pirillo’s 50 Reasons to Switch to a Mac blog post. It really seems like everyone is moving to a mac these days. Avid Mac hater John C. Dvorak is now a happy Mac owner and user. Mac market share is higher that it has ever been. So what is causing people make the switch?

I pondered this question as I read Chris’s post. My Wife, a lifetime Windows user, just got Her first Macbook. I kept Her old PC on her desk in case she needed it, but to my surprise She has been using the Mac 100% ever since She got it. Now I just need to add Parallels to Her Macbook for those 1 or 2 Windows applications She needs. She won’t admit it to me, because I was right, but She secretly loves it.
