[ NNSquad ] Friday Off-Topic Video: Conan vs. Apple "Final Cut Pro X"


Friday Off-Topic Video: Conan vs. Apple "Final Cut Pro X"

It's Friday, and I have one off-topic tech-related video
recommendation as we leave the work week.

Apple recently released their "new version" of their flagship "Final
Cut Pro" video editing software, and the reaction from their user base
has been, shall we say, mixed.  Seems that Apple completely redesigned
and (some would say) "dumbed down" the program, even burning backwards
compatibility in the process.

This controversy even made it to late night TV, with Conan O'Brien's
video crew creating a clip expressing their strong, uh, "support"
for the new release.

I can't recall any time in the past that a mainstream personal
computer application (in either the Microsoft or Apple ecosystems) has
broken through to comedy routines at this level.

Have a good weekend, all.
