Michael Horton and friends are at it again, organizing another Final Cut Pro SuperMeet, this time at the NAB Show 2009. Mike talks about the challenges of putting together the event in a down economy, why it represents a terrific value for attendees, and why it is so important to “get out of the house” of you are a creative professional in the video business. Not just content with the SuperMeet, Mike and his crew have put together the SuperBooth, their presence on the show floor where attendees can get pro-level training from some of the best-known video gurus in the industry. Adding to the value of attending the SuperMeet will be the newest edition of their SuperMag which will be delivered on their SuperDVD, dedicated time with sponsoring vendors, their world-famous raffle and more. Mike tells us all about each in turn, and provides some travel tips to help save you money if you’re planning to join him in Las Vegas.

MacNotables #908: Adam Engst on How iPhone 3.0 Advances the Platform, His New Production Enhancements
Adam Engst is back after some time off for repairs and upgrades, and fills in the blanks on his personal productivity setup, including two monitor placement, his pointer choice (it isn’t a mouse) and why Apple’s new thin keyboard doesn’t fit. Then, hitting stride, Adam discusses the new iPhone 3.0 software announcements and how they further the iPhone-as-platform position, the integration of third-party hardware with the iPhone, and how the iTunes Store and its selection of apps is the most important factor for the longevity of iPhone loyalty.
MacVoices #958: Joe Kissell Helps You Take Control of The Command Line with Terminal
Prolific Take Control author Joe Kissell has addressed one of the most challenging parts of Mac use for many in his new Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal. Too many Mac users live in fear of the command line, and are afraid of even launching the Terminal application. All that changes as Joe talks about why you would want to use the Terminal and what can be done there that is either easier or that can’t be done at all in the Finder. Joe employs more than a few cooking metaphors as he discusses why this Take Control book is different from any of his others, how he approaches the subject in a course-like fashion, and the care he’s taken to be certain that you will encounter no problems on your first journey into the power user’s part of the Mac OS.
MacNotables #909: Ted Landau’s Not-So-Secret Gaming Life, Apple Coverage and the iPhone As Mac or Smartphone
Known for being the MacNotables’ resident troubleshooting expert, Ted Landau also has some serious game cred. Ted talks about his world-class standing in a classic board game, and what he took away from spending the day at the iGames Summit. Games are an important part of the Apple landscape, and Ted provides insight into that world from his vantage point. Apple media coverage and how snarkiness may be added value, more on the iPhone 3.0 software announcements, whether the iPhone is more Mac or more smartphone, and Ted’s favorite 3.0 feature are all part of the conversation.
