Apple Store Holiday Screen Saver

Have you walked past an Apple Store yet this month? If so, you might have noticed a 3D snowflake screen saver running in the display windows. The screen saver is called Snowfall and it was designed by Russell Warenboldt using the OS X Quartz Composer.

Here’s a screenshot of Snowfall with a picture of my dog in the background. Snowfall is a beautiful screen saver. These pictures really don’t do it justice. Snowfall is free, but it requires Macintosh OS X Tiger. To install Snowfall, just copy it into your Screen Savers folder ~/Library/Screen Savers/. Then open the System Preferences panel to modify the options. You can pick a solid background color and turn on the stripes to make your screen look like wrapping paper.

Note:Don’t forget our own addition to the Mac snowflake collection.

Avid preping products in anticipation of Intel Macs

Avid Technology today announced its plans to synchronize development for its Mac product line in preparation for Apple’s introduction of Intel-based Macs next year. By synchronizing development for both Apple platforms, Avid’s initial Mac HD release is now targeted for mid-2006 for Avid Xpress Pro and Media Composer Adrenaline systems running on PowerPC Macs. Following the arrival of Apple’s Intel-based systems, Avid plans to deliver the same HD capabilities offered on PowerPC-based systems to Avid products running on the new Mac-Intel architecture. This development coincides with the company’s plans to achieve overall synchronization between Mac and Windows platforms by mid-2006.
