Web-Based iMovie Rumour Not Plausible

Posted by Scott Jarkoff in Articles

This time of year, every year, there are tons of Apple rumours floating around the intarweb because of the upcoming Macworld. Just about every Apple blog and so-called analyst has been informed from a “reliable source” about some supposed new hardware, updated design or modified software which will launch at Macworld in San Francisco later this month.

Ramping IT Up

Rich Chuckrey here. The agenda is simple: blog on current real-world technology employing critical analysis, fair reporting and raw opinion. The goal is to leave no IT stone unturned. We will look at topics like Microsoft’s attempt to buy Yahoo [now without the Jerry Yang roadblock], upcoming IT initiatives under Barrack Obama’s administration, current Web 2.0 vs. The Semantic Web vs. Web 3.0, and anything else technical and worthy of bringing into the TechMiso spotlight.

Involved in IT policy and planning for an organization inside the U.S. Department of Defense, I consider government a prime target for criticism and review. A good chunk of my content will also be spent targeting IT issues in and around government — Uncovering deficiencies [and efficiencies] in projects, procurement, budget, security and staffing while closely inspecting their influential factors — good and bad. I will provide comment on IT decisions made in government offices from the President on down to our small town Mayors.

Even after being bombarded with story after story, I chalked it all up to competitor jealousy.

My entire perspective was forever changed after I started working with the government as a contractor for the United States. Even though I was in the Navy for almost 9 years, and worked hand-in-hand with many contractors, I never really was privy to what you see when you work directly for a company who has a contract with the government, especially the Department of Defense.
