Because apparently you’re doing it wrong.
iMovie doesn’t seem to provide a way to import movie clips that weren’t captured on the iPhone. For example, you can’t import video that appears in the iPod app’s Videos area. And while you can add video clips to iPhoto and sync them to the phone, they aren’t available from within iMovie (though they do appear in the Photos app).
Noticed it the other day while checking out photos of the Tokyo launch of iPhone 4. Larger images, much improved navigational tools, a black display option for individual photos. Good change. Still in beta so you need to opt in.
“JB” used to stand for tough guys: James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer. Now it’s Justin Bieber.
Rethinking my RSS feed subscriptions. I have 140 feeds listed (what is it with 140?), at least 10, perhaps 20 of them are defunct, as in abandoned, and I probably read only about half of the rest, max. Having 100 feeds is also detrimental to loading them on news reader apps. The sheer amount of content often brings down the app too often and when they do load, it takes a million years (not really, 5-10 minutes).
My issue now is, do I nuke them all and start from scratch or should I curate the list and eliminate the ones I definitely don’t read? I’m thinking nuke and pave is the way to go but I’m not sure if I’ll find those feeds again.
On the other hand, if they’re important enough I would come across them regardless. I mean that’s how information comes to you these days. If you care enough about it and your friends or contacts do too, you’ll end up seeing them anyway. If a piece of news is really important and you missed it the first time, it’ll pass you by several more times one way or another.
And then there are sites that despite subscribing to them, I tend to open them on the main browser for whatever strange reason or habit I seem to have.
Speaking of which, it applies to Twitter as well doesn’t it? No need to follow thousands, just follow the right ones and you’ll get your news, jokes, and opinions that appeal to you either directly or by proxy.
What do you think?
