Video shot with a Panasonic AG-DVC30. Production with Final Cut Pro. Presentation built with Apple’s Keynote software. Isn’t it ironic?

Funny. Excellent delivery.

In general, Macs are better than PCs for certain things but that doesn't give anyone the right to personally attack you for an opinion about something so trivial. I don't get that. How someone can essentially tell you that if something bad happened it automatically must be your fault is beyond me. Computers and software are designed by humans, they don't always work as expected - Mac, PC, Linux, whatever. Some people need to get a clue.

Hilarious. I do enjoy the occasional filleting of folks that warrant it.

Loved the presentation :) I have been using Macs since 1985, but I always vote for personal choice. Blind following of any cause is just nuts, no matter how good the basic premises are. This goes for product choices, politics and religion. Egos are a hard thing to deal with.

Hey Baratunde... we met at SXSW in 2006. I'm digging your video podcasts, so keep 'em coming! This one had my team at work (mostly Mac users) rolling on the floor. Sorry you had that trouble with your Mac, but thanks for keeping us entertained!

I had the same error (twice) when installing Final Cut. It was some piece of secondary software, though, and didn't affect Final Cut. To the author: did you try opening Final Cut from the Applications folder after getting the error?

I did not. I ended up skipping that disk and installing it later. Something about the sequence led to the error, but all is well now.

Flamewars translated to the standup format? That's so good, that should've been mine.

Hi Baratunde,

I found you through Lifehacker.com; funny video, you have talent for presentations, whatever you say.

Best of luck,
Vincenzo

P.S.: I am a Linux fan, now using XP because "just works".
Who cares about operating system??
Just use your software, and run the system you like... if it works!
