Hokay, peeps,
After a forced hiatus, I am back in old shape and ready to take on the world 
Here’s what’s coming up the next few weeks:
- a new forum for all users to post tech problems and solutions
- the first two tutorials
- news, tips and tricks
- a new website with brand-new layout
The new website will feature memberships (free, of course, I don’t need your precious, hard-earned cash 
), every member gets its own blog, there will be a wiki and the possibility to write manuals together, so noone needs to suffer from something where another user has found a solution for!
Also, I am preparing my move to the USA. People here in Europe think I am crazy for doing this now. But I say, now is the ideal time. Time for a change, time to actively DO something about the US economy.
And in times where all my so-called European friends were nowhere to be found, the only people who stuck by me, were… US citizens, no exception!
So to all the nay-sayers, instead of complaining, DO something about it, and that is exactly what I am about to do.
Cheers
Arthur

OK, so it’s official now: the new iPhone is a fact.
As was widely predicted, it uses the in Europe and Asia dominant UMTS or 3G technology, a sigh of relief for us European users
But the best of all: the new iPhone is ONLY 199$ EVERYWHERE. Cool!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Today, Digidesign announced a pre-release version of Pro Tools 7.4.2 for Leopard. This special pre-release will be available for download within the next few days, according to Digidesign.
This is a non=typical behavior for the leading DAW developer from Silicon Valley. The most likely and understandable reason will be the growing impatience and malcontentment of the LE user base, since there was still no approved version for Mac OS Leopard.
Although not explicitly said, my experience forces me nonetheless to warn early adopters. Pre-release versions will by nature be more unstable than final releases. But if you are waiting on a new release because you have a brand new Mac waiting (that is only delivered with Leopard by the way…) you will most likely accept the added risk.
So, according to my source (always been reliable), you will be able to download the special pre-release free of charge if you are already a 7..4 user. There will also be a 7.4.2 for us HD users of course. Although, I have been using 7.4.1 HD for Leopard for a while now, with no real issues.
OK, so get ready, brace yourself and hope that all plugins will follow suit.
Cheers

It’s not from Apple, but it gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from the Cupertino company: a band of developers called the NUI Group have developed Lux, a platform that shows the power of a free open framework that will enable true multitouch interaction in Mac OS X.

Late April Fools? Or the real thing? From the article:
“The GreeNYC logo shows a stylized apple with a stalk and a leaf. It bears a resemblance to Apple’s famous logo — a resemblance Apple says infringes on its trademark.”

UPDATE: We have been able to isolate the problem and are working with Apple on a solution. But it won’t likely be before the weekend. Sorry for the buzzkill. We keep you updated. Thanks a lot for the patience and goodwill!!

Will publish ASAP. Thanks for yer patience!
