Adobe Blogger’s Statement on Lightroom
“Obviously Lightroom and Aperture aim to tackle a similar set of challenges, and one might say, “Well, you guys are just releasing this beta now because Aperture is in the market.”… My second comment is that it appears that Lightroom will eventually become part of Photoshop, as well as a separate app. There’s nothing to substantiate this other than John’s comment in the Q&A about Lightroom being available together with Photoshop…. I don’t want to sound like I am coming down too hard on Adobe, I think that having Lightroom is going to be a great and much needed addition to the Adobe product line…. The thing is, we’re not going to start charging for ours until you’ve had plenty of time to kick the tires & help shape the feature set. Obviously Lightroom and Aperture aim to tackle a similar set of challenges, and one might say, “Well, you guys are just releasing this beta now because Aperture is in the market.”… For others, however, the broad range of capabilities in Bridge (e.g. integration with the Suite, previewing PDF and InDesign docs, talking to workgroup management tools, etc.) will make it a better choice some or all of the time…. Yes, Lightroom will be available on its own, and yes, we expect to make it available together with Photoshop…. For us to build the tool you want and need, your feedback is critical, so we hope you’ll visit the Project Lightroom page, click the Community tab, and let us know what you think…. * To get the intro movie via iTunes, choose Advanced->Subscribe to Podcast, then paste in http://rss.adobe.com/www/special/light_room.rss [Update: See also Jeff Schewe's detailed intro to Lightroom on PhotoshopNews.com.]

Intel's new strategy confirmed
[ via TUAW ] Intel’s new strategy confirmed: Intel will unveil its new strategy focused on the digital home at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the New York Times says this morning. Intel is changing its focus from computing hardware to selling a digital lifestyle to consumers. The article acknowledges that “the transformation of Intel will, in part, be defined by its new alliance with Apple Computer.” Intel execs confirm that their company is building a Viiv multimedia platform for the digital living room using Core chips code-named Yonah. These chips may be the basis for an Apple set-top box that would give Apple dominance over the next wave of home video. The Intel Inside moniker will be replaced by an new slogan — “Leap Ahead” — according to the Times. This will be part of Intel’s effort to tie together its different platforms and rebrand itself as a warmer, fuzzier consumer company.

Mac’d Ride: Jeepintosh – 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
[ via MacVroom ] Mac’d Ride: Jeepintosh – 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Check out this sweet Mac mini install in a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The mini is installed in the glove box and snugly held in place with a soft, but rugged carpet-covered custom bracket. A hub is mounted behind the CPU and USB and Firewire cables run to the back of the Jeep to easily add peripherals to this system. The 7″ Xenarc 700 TSV display has replaced the original stereo in the center console. Grey vinyl was used to match the display surround to the factory grey interior. Below the heat/air controls is a small Kensington USB hub with a Griffin PowerMate connected to it to control iTunes.

Leak is in the Air: Bluetooth Headphones?
[ via O'Grady's Power Page ] Leak is in the Air: Bluetooth Headphones?: The Apple Japan Web site has a little teaser for their New Year’s Special t-shirt design that depicts an iPod nano dandelion with iPod earbuds as the wishes. The caption reads “Luck is in the Air” and a pair of the headphones are suspiciously detaching from the rest. Could this be a hint of an upcoming wireless Bluetooth headphones for the iPod? Or even an iPod with Bluetooth built-in? Tough to say, but it’s great fodder in the build up to Macworld, no? The t-shirts will be given out to the first 1000 visitor of each Apple store on January 2nd.
We’re Green! Are you?
