Yay, Aperture 3 is finally out. I’m crossing my fingers for improved image adjustments capabilities. It’s been great for organizing and going-through thousands [and thousands] of pictures, but I always end up doing most of the post image adjustments in good ol’ photoshop.

Circa 1997: Apple Newton Getting Started Video. Slightly ahead of its time, the Newton was nevertheless quite well thought out: the type-correction interface is marvelous, still many smartphones don’t have something as well designed today. And the beam function just sounds trippy. (Pis oui, c’est juste pour vous mettre dans le mood avant la sortie d’une tablette [sic] quelconque le 27 janvier.)

After reading Nicholson Baker’s review of the Kindle 2 for the New Yorker, I’m kind of joining the bandwagon for some kind of Apple tablet anytime soon. The iPhone seems to be so close of something better than a Kindle, notwithstanding its size. Feels like Kindle is only good as it can be, being pretty much the only one out there.

Vanou: If your iTunes library is a mess, missing album names, artists spelled 3 different ways, missing cover-art, irrelevant genres (Paul Simon lists as “Adult Contemporary” in my library: wtf), all that makes organizing nitpicks go crazy, you might want to check Tune-Up, it fixes everything for you in a few clicks. Automagically™. Its 20 bucks for more than a hundred songs though.
