BEHOLD THE POWER OF STEVE
Two losers trying to get back into the game before they are blown away by the Mighty Reality Distortion Field Generator. This announcement is dumb on a couple of levels. First, Macs already own a considerable hunk of the video delivery market. Go to Apple's QuickTime site; Gatesville doesn't have anything as good. Second, any time you see a 'behind the scenes' type show about a movie, invariably the production people are sitting in front of Macs when they explain how they do their jobs. More and more they use Apple's Final Cut Pro on Macintosh decks instead of the high-end (and high priced) Silicon Graphics-type machines.

A pumped up Powerbook and Final Cut (or one of its junior iterations), combined with a good video camera, and anyone can film, edit, design and burn a DVD flick without too much difficulty, and put it online as a live stream or a download in a variety of formats. Steve has already won this war. I have Macs and Wintel boxes. The Macs absolutely blow away the Wintels when it comes to anything to do with images.

Eisner should just resign already. Steve kicked his ass
