Incompatible files systems between Windows and Mac has been causing a lot of headaches since long ago. The growing number of people migrating from PC to Mac, or giving up on Vista, made the issue appearing even more evident. It’s emblematic the case of Windows running through Boot Camp: if you boot with Windows you can’t see the Mac partition, if you boot with OSX you can read but not write in the Windows partition.

Acer organized a convention in Madrid in order to present its latest products to international press.

Adobe Max Europe is over and some numbers were published by the official blog: 1200 attendees in Barcelona experienced over 200 sessions. They are now invited to leave their feedback and to log in the Max site for finding the presentations uploaded by the speakers.

Not long ago I was tempted to abandon MT (Mediatemple) in favour of Site5 and actually I did it.

Forums and blogs made me discover that some serious problems were appearing in their (GS) Grid Service Hosting.
Shameless self promotion for my upcoming session on Advanced Video Encoding at Adobe Max 2007 Europe! I’m going to talk about the best practices for optimizing video and calibrating the settings in video encoding, tips & tricks for the whole work flow and comparisons between codecs. In other words, I’ll try to give good advices for producing good FLVs. I’m updating my presentation with tests and infos on the H.264 codec, since it has just been announced that the Adobe Flash Player 9 update 3 will support it. It’s already possible to download a public beta of the player and experimenting an example of HD video.
