Windows 8 on the MacBook Air: Not just yet

September 22nd, 2011

Summary: The Windows 8 developer preview is generating a lot of interest. But is it ready to install on a MacBook Air?

With the developer preview of Windows 8 available to the public, it was only a matter of time before someone installed it on Apple’s MacBook line of laptops. Since I’ve written articles about running Windows 7 on the MacBook air in the past, it only made sense that I would try to run it myself.

Since this was a test, and not a bare metal installation, I simply chose to install the developer preview from within Windows 7. This way I didn’t have to fiddle with external DVD drives or USB sticks. Perhaps later when the new OS is more stable I will revisit that method.

Installation was fairly straightforward. There is no in-place upgrade, but like before with Windows 7 and Vista installations, you are able to perform a clean install which backs up your Windows, Program Files and Users directories into a directory named Windows.old. There is the option to migrate your user account data to the new installation, and that seemed to work fairly well.

After several reboots, I booted into Windows 8, and immediately noticed some issues. For one thing, I was limited to the basic video driver. My resolution was limited to 1024×768, instead of the 1366×768 native to my MacBook Air. When I checked my device manager, I discovered that a number of devices had no drivers. Obviously the Boot Camp drivers from Apple had not migrated over.

This led to hunting around the internet for people that had tried what I did, and managed to get the Boot Camp drivers installed. What I discovered was not encouraging. For instance, the only driver packs I found were for the 2011 third-generation MacBook Air, while mine is the second generation 2010 model. There were no Nvidia drivers that would install under Windows 8.

Also, the packs of 32- and 64-bit drivers that I found all seemed to be for the 2011 model. Half of them worked. I got the drivers for my trackpad and bluetooth working, but I couldn’t get the display drivers working to use an external monitor. The iSight camera driver wouldn’t install. I was left with a functional installation of Windows 8, but it wasn’t really capable of being used properly.

I understand that the folks with the third generation MacBook Air laptops had much better luck, being able to use separate Intel HD graphics drivers. It’s possible, and likely, that those drivers I could not install do work properly with the 2011 model.

Please keep in mind, this was an experiment. I backed up an image of my Windows 7 installation with the full intention of restoring it once I was done testing. I actually didn’t do that, but that is the topic for my next article.

For a pre-beta release, Windows 8 did manage to install and work on the MacBook Air without too much trouble. The real trouble begins when you try to install the Boot Camp drivers. Boot Camp itself won’t install, and this is no surprise. It would be silly to expect Apple to update Boot Camp to work with Windows 8 right now. The people who got it to work had to rip out the drivers from the Boot Camp install, which is a hack and not intended for regular users.

At this point, I would not recommend attempting the use of Windows 8 on a MacBook air, unless you were planning on running it inside of a VM like Parallels or VirtualBox. I will definitely revisit once Apple has a version of Boot Camp that works with Windows 8.

How to Make Movies and How to Look for a Good Movie Maker?

September 21st, 2011

Video cameras have been around for decades, but it’s become increasingly common to have a video camera. Most cell phones come with video camera capabilities, giving you the perfect opportunity to capture the moment, in not only photograph, but also videos. However, what to do with these videos and what’s the best way to distribute them to friends and family? Making movies would be the best way to organize all of your videos by editing and converting them to movies compatible with different media platforms, not only computers, but also mobile/home media players.

So, what you need is a movie editing and making software application. Suppose you have shot your videos with your video camera, now comes to the video editing by hiring a movie maker to help your make movies. Here we just discuss the three stages of video creation which are import, edit and export using mediAvatar Movie Maker.

There’re three main aspects to consider: import abilities, editing features and export options, each of which is important for creating and sharing professional-looking videos, so we introduce this mediAvatar Movie Maker that include tools and features to address all these requirements and describe all its features here.

Video Import/Playback

Since videos may come from different sources in different formats, the video formats that we can import would be pretty important. A good movie maker should be able to import videos in different formats no matter it’s from any camera, HD camcorder, video sites, cellphone, iPhone/iPad or else. And video playback would play an important role in the editing process, which can tell you how your final movie will look.

Editing/ Transitions/Soundtracks

Editing tools should at least include clipping/splitting videos, which ensures you get the segments for your final movie. To add fun transitions between videos makes your movie unique. And a good movie maker program should have the capability of adding soundtracks to your movie. Here in mediAvatar Movie Maker, you may add a song to your movie or audio file you recorded with microphone.

Export/Convert

The way to watch your movie is the most important factor as there is no point in making a video that’s incompatible with media players or devices. Actually this is the most powerful part in mediAvatar Movie Maker, which integrate the feature of video converter, meaning that it can output movies in almost all high/standard definition video formats and users can play movies on all popular media systems on the market, from PC/Mac’s players to devices such as iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, PS3, Wii, NDS, Android pad/phone, Windows phone, BlackBerry, PMPs… and can even upload self-made movies to YouTube directly.

Video Editing Software: Endless Possibilities

September 21st, 2011

Video Editing Software: Endless Possibilities

Video cameras have been around for decades, but it’s become increasingly common to have a video camera. Most cell phones come with video capabilities, giving you the perfect opportunity to capture the moment. Now the real question is: what should you do with all your video files and photos? Simple. Video editing software is the perfect way to compile all of your videos and photos, edit professional home videos and distribute the movies to friends and family.

We looked for the best video editing software available on the market. We looked at the three stages of video creation which are import, edit and export. With these three steps in mind, we evaluated and reviewed a long list of products and narrowed it down to our top choices.

Video Editing Software: What to Look For

When you are looking for the perfect video software there are three main aspects to consider: import abilities, editing features and export options. Each of these elements is important for creating and sharing professional-looking videos, so we looked for products that include tools and features to address these needs. To ensure we recommend only video editing software that has all the features you need in an easy-to-use interface, these are the criteria we used to review each product:

Video Capture/Playback
This section addresses how you can import videos from various devices and in diverse formats. A good application will work with virtually any camera, camcorder or even VCR and let you pull the files you want directly from the device via your computer. We also look at how well the program will play the video during the editing process. Some applications have a choppy or disjointed playback so it is difficult to tell how your final product will look.

Ease of Use
Nothing is more frustrating than purchasing an application that is difficult to use. We looked at the different features available for video editing and how simple it was to perform various tasks. This section also includes the design of the user interface and how everything is organized in the application. There is no point in purchasing a program if it is going to make tasks more difficult than they should be.

Editing Tools
Editing tools include everything from changing the background lighting and color tones to clipping the video so you get the perfect segment for what you need. This is the section where we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each application’s editing tools. We specifically look for whether the application includes a storyboard and timeline layout, a video stabilizer and the ability to add text to the video. Without editing tools, the application has little going for it in the way of presentation.

Export/Production
There is no point in making a video if there’s no way to view it. With the export and production options you are able to save your movie to a variety of discs or locations. Some programs even have a direct upload to YouTube. Not only do you have to worry about what disc to save your movie to, but it is also important to consider the format of the file, whether you want a MPEG or a MOV file.

Editing Effects/Transitions
The features we look at in this section are what really define the abilities of video editing software. This is where you add all of the fun transitions between pictures and videos. Some applications are even set up for adding 3D effects to videos as well as working with HD. It is these transitions that really make your video unique so you will want to make sure that the application you choose has all of the options you want.

Disc Creation
This section is different from the Export section in a variety of ways. This section covers whether you can make menus and divide your movie into chapters. This makes it easier to navigate through your finished videos. Another aspect this section covers is whether the software itself is capable of burning discs. If the video editing software can burn the discs you don’t have to worry about finding another application to transfer the files from your computer to your Blu-ray Disc or DVD.

Audio & Photo Editing
Not only can you have video within in your movie, but you can add photos and your own audio to the mix. There are separate editing tools for both audio and photo. By editing the audio clips you can time your music to your videos. And with photo editing, you can have even more options when it comes to showcasing your latest adventure since you won’t be limited by having only your video files.

Help & Support
When working with any complex software, having manufacturer help and support can make or break an application. It is the nature of video editing software to be feature rich and if you run into a snag you should be able to contact someone for help. Manufacturers provide a variety of options for helping you. These include phone numbers, email addresses, manuals and even tutorials. If the software you select has good support options, you won’t have to worry about getting stuck in an application; you can rest assured that you will receive the help you need.

Video editing software can turn your raw video footage and photos into professional-quality masterpieces. The applications we reviewed can provide you with the features you want in an easy-to-use interface. And, if you do happen to get stuck there is always the help and support offered by the manufacturer. Now you can put those videos and photos to use when you make your own home movie to share with your friends and family.

Apple’s in no hurry to release iPad 3, says industry analyst

September 20th, 2011

Apple’s in no hurry to release iPad 3, says industry analyst

With no competition in the tablet world, Apple’s unlikely to release the iPad 3 until 2012, reports J.P. Morgan analyst.

Apple isn’t feeling any pressure to release the next generation of iPad — especially since there’s no near competitor at this point.

That’s the word from analyst Mark Moskowitz with J.P. Morgan, who reported that his conversations with industry insiders indicate that the iPad 3 won’t hit shelves until 2012 due to the lack of competition, among other factors.

While a report last month indicated that issues with the high-definition “Retina” display pushed back the release date for the iPad 3, Moskowitz said the schedule is less tech-related and more competition-related. Without a clear second-place tablet in the market, he and fellow industry analysts say the Cupertino company’s feeling no pressure to push out the next iPad.

“In our view, Apple should be in no rush,” he said. “The other tablet entrants have stumbled so far, and that trend-line could persist deep into 2012.”

While reports regarding iPad 3 prototypes continue to circulate, the trouble competitors are having with launching a similar tablet computer are becoming a regular part of the industry news wire. On Friday, Research in Motion announced that it had shipped only 200,000 models of its Playbook tablet computer this quarter — well under the 9.25 million iPads sold in the same quarter.

With Android tablets still struggling to replicate the success of Android smartphones, Apple continues to dominate the tablet market. According to Moskowitz, the next threat will likely come from Microsoft’s upcoming line of tablets sporting the Windows 8 operating system.

“We think the next potential threat to Apple’s tablet dominance is not until late 2012 when Windows 8-based tablets could hit the market,” he predicted.

Samsung to Seek IPhone 5 Ban in South Korea

September 20th, 2011

Samsung is attempting to ban Apple’s unreleased iPhone 5, the latest in nearly a dozen courtroom battles that spans the globe.

The Korea Times reports Samsung plans to file a lawsuit against Apple’s highly-anticipated iPhone 5 immediately following its launch, widely-expected in October.

“It would be impossible for Apple to sell its i-branded products without using our patents,” an unnamed Samsung executive told the paper. “We will stick to a strong stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights.”

If Samsung succeeds in banning Apple’s new iPhone, the ruling will give the South Korean handset maker ammo to force settlements in other areas of the world, such as Germany, where Apple succeeded in banning Samsung’s Galaxy tablet.

The two companies have taken their fight across the globe, in courtrooms from the U.S. and Australia to parts of Europe and Asia.

The spate of suits is due largely to the flawed U.S. patent system that assigns similar software rights to several different companies, essentially giving multiple companies the right to the same patent.

The result has pushed tech companies to rush to buy troves of patents to defend from lawsuits, not by claiming the rights to the inventions, but rather in an attempt deter lawsuits by threatening countersuits in a mutually-assured destruction arms race.

Samsung’s move to bring the fight to its home turf is another tactic to settle the wide-reaching right between the two tech titans, and unlikely to affect consumers lining up to buy Apple’s highly-anticipated device.

No 4G in iPhone 5, but ‘iPhone 4 Plus’ Coming: Bank

September 20th, 2011

With anticipation growing for Apple’s next smartphone to hit shelves, industry watchers on Monday said the company could even roll out two devices: the iPhone 5 and the “iPhone 4 Plus.”

Analyst Mark Moskowitz with JP Morgan said on Monday that the next “iPhone 5″ will be a “world phone” with both GSM and CDMA cellular support, but no support for 4G, and a “lighter, thinner form factor.”

He also indicated the iPhone 5 would be accompanied by another device aimed at downscaled markets.

“A second device based on the current iPhone 4 but with some minor improvements could target the midrange and focus on China,” Moskowitz told clients. “As for the current iPhone 4, we expect it to subsume 3GS as the lower-end offering.”

The “research” reignites debate as to whether the consumer electronics giant will launch a new flagship and use the current iPhone 4 as the low-end offering, and create a new device.

But for Moskowitz, a new, cheaper device makes sense, as it allows it to tap into the massive China market without the premium shock.

“If penetrated, China Mobile and China Telecom with approximately 600 million and 100 million subscribers, alongside Sprint and T-Mobile USA with 52 million and 33 million subscribers, stand to have an effect tantamount to the big increase in the number of carriers exhibited in the June quarter,” he said. “We would expect such a big bang if Apple introduces two new iPhones this fall and penetrates the untapped U.S. and China carriers.”

As for the rumored iPad 3, the analyst shot that down, echoing the course of others on Wall Street that say given the current dominance of the iPad 2, there would be little reason to upgrade now.

“The other tablet entrants have stumbled,” Moskowitz wrote. “Offerings by MMI and RIM have been the latest disappointments. Also, we had the opportunity to demo Sony’s tablet before its launch. We were not impressed.”

Indeed, the same analyst noted last week that Motorola Mobility’s “Xoom” tablet had “not exhibited much in the way of meaningful market penetration” and that Research in Motion said it shipped only 200,000 “PlayBook” tablets in the August-ending fiscal Q2, fewer than analysts were expecting.

In comparison, Apple shipped over nine million tablets, and is projected to command over 60 percent of the tablet market in 2012.

Apple Scrambles To Merge Apple IDs To Stave Off iCloud Sync Mess

September 19th, 2011

Apple appears to be working on a process to allow iTunes users with more than one Apple ID to somehow “merge” them into a single account. The ability to do so will be critical to the early success of the company’s new iCloud service, since it relies on Apple IDs for syncing iTunes purchases and other data.
arstechnica

The problem with managing multiple Apple IDs with iCloud first became apparent when Apple launched an early beta of one of its features called “iTunes in the Cloud.” It allows users to automatically sync iTunes purchases between iOS devices and computers running iTunes. When you link an Apple ID to your iPhone, for instance, any apps, songs, and iBooks you buy from your computer are automatically downloaded to your iPhone (and vice versa).

The problem comes in when users have multiple Apple IDs. Users may have multiple Apple IDs for a variety of reasons, such as separate accounts for work and home use, or multiple Apple IDs used by a single family. MobileMe users can also use their MobileMe accounts as an Apple ID. Most MobileMe users likely had Apple IDs before they had MobileMe accounts, however, so all these users effectively have two Apple IDs even if they don’t know it.

iTunes in the Cloud automatically syncs songs and other purchases between devices associated with the same Apple ID. Apple Inc

If you started using your MobileMe account to log in to iTunes for App Store or other purchases, older purchases are still associated with your older, original Apple ID. That’s not a problem on your computer—you can have multiple iTunes accounts authorized on a Mac or PC. Unfortunately, you can only associate one Apple ID with a particular device in any 90-day period for iTunes in the Cloud. If you were hoping to sync both work-related and personal iTunes Store purchases to a single device, for instance, you’re currently out of luck.

The problem could get far worse once iCloud launches, which is expected to happen in the next few weeks. iCloud will effectively replace MobileMe going forward, and existing MobileMe users will be able to convert their accounts to iCloud accounts. But if you associate that iCloud account with your device, you won’t be able to access all the songs and other data you bought using a separate Apple ID. One developer currently testing the full iCloud beta confirmed to Ars that juggling the two accounts causes issues with iTunes syncing, and in some cases songs are disappearing from the library on his device. This has been independently confirmed by other developers as well.

Currently there is no known workaround. Apple IDs “cannot be consolidated,” according to Apple, and it’s not possible to change your current Apple ID to match your MobileMe account (trust us, we tried). Keep in mind that Apple has stated that you can still convert a MobileMe account to iCloud but use a different Apple ID for iTunes-related syncing. As long as you have only used one Apple ID for iTunes purchases, you should be fine. If not, there could be trouble.

Don’t try to use your MobileMe address with your current Apple ID—they are already separate accounts in Apple’s database.

The good news is that Apple definitely seems to be working on a solution. At least two MacRumors readers that have e-mailed Apple’s newly appointed CEO Tim Cook about the problem have received phone calls from Apple employees acknowledging the issue. Apparently the team responsible for Apple IDs is aware that users are frustrated, and is working on a way to combine accounts or associate multiple Apple IDs with a single device.

Apple was not able to respond to our request for more specific information on the Apple ID issue, but we suspect that coming up with a workable solution is a top priority. If the problem is still present at the time of iCloud’s launch, Apple runs the risk of another customer service disaster on the scale that accompanied thebotched launch of MobileMe in 2008. Problems syncing contacts, accessing e-mail, and other frustrations chronically plagued MobileMe users for the first several months, ultimately resulting in Apple offering as much as six months of free service for early adopters. A major iCloud syncing headache won’t help the perception that cloud services in general, and Apple’s in particular, are inherently untrustworthy.

Samsung fires back at Apple in Australia with countersuit against iPhone, iPad

September 17th, 2011

After having been temporarily blocked from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet in Australia, Samsung has filed a countersuit in the country, alleging the iPhone and iPad are violating its own intellectual property.

In the latest episode of the tense legal battle between the two companies, currently being fought in at least 20 cases across four continents, Samsung claimed in a lawsuit filed with the Federal Court of Australia that Apple’s smartphone and tablet offerings are infringing seven patents related to wireless communications standards.

The electronics giant also intends to see Apple’s patents that have been asserted against its Galaxy phones and tablets invalidated and revoked, Bloomberg BusinessWeek reported on Friday.

“Samsung has a proud history of innovation in the mobile industry,” the company said. “It has invested continuously in R&D, design and technology to produce our innovative and cutting-edge mobile devices.”

Apple fired the first shot in the complex patent-related confrontation between the two rivals in April, firmly accusing Samsung of copying well-known design elements of its iconic iPhone and iPad products.

The company has obtained victories in cases in
Germany and Australia, where courts have issued injunctions against Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales, as well as in the Netherlands where three Galaxy-branded handsets, including the flagship Galaxy S II, are temporarily barred from being sold.

Samsung fires back at Apple in Australia with countersuit against iPhone, iPad

Samsung quickly returned fire alleging that Apple is violating various patents related to power consumption and 3G data transmission. Earlier this week, reports indicated the company has filed two new lawsuits(1, 2) against the iPhone maker in France and the U.K. At the same time, Samsung is currently engaged in appealing previous unfavorable verdicts.

The South Korean electronics maker had originally claimed it would launch the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia in the “near future,” but then agreed not to release the device until at least Sept. 30 after formal hearings on the matter had taken place.

As of late August, U.S. court filings listed 19 Samsung-Apple litigations, all yet to be decided despite some of them already showing preliminary verdicts favorable to Apple:
