Blogs are Apple abusive?

I have to be honest here Apple make the best hardware going. The iPhone 5 is great, my Mac Book is the best laptop in 20 years I have owned. There are a lot of people who seem to hate apple but why?  I think I would start with why I think this is.  They have become that which they first advertised that they hated. They have become what they saw IBM as of the home PC market in 1984.  Who can forget that great hammer thrown by Bridget Nelson in homage to the film 1984.  Now when we think of a giant company trying to control how we use our personal IT equipment, we are looking at Apple.  Take my Apple TV as an example.  It would be easy for Apple to allow the device to stream media from a file share.  But no I can only watch youTube or iTunes media; it is very hard and costly to have the freedom the relay my home videos or Anime (fan subs) on the device.  I can use it for NetFlicks but like my iPhone Apple won't allow LoveFilm to operate on the device, so they can make more money.  This is the issue.  Money in becoming more important than function to Apple?  Is that the case?  Is that why this backlash and in IT a backlash can mean the end of the device?  Who uses apple maps, it makes the world look nice with all the extra parks it adds that are not there?  But it was money that caused they to try and compete with Google to the detriment of their users.  When this grab for money exceeds the desire to be the best it all goes wrong for Apple.  I want to remind them of the 1990's and where greed got them and where they might be now if they had allowed clone Macs?  iOS7 needs to be function over money and so does everything they do. Do it better and charge more. This model has worked for 30 years I urge that they stick to it.  You are the BMW of the IT world why bother trying to compete for Ford (Samsung) they make plastic junk.  Remember your roots and shine once more Apple!

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, show them this information: <followed by 100000 random junk).

Well the video is up and I will post a screen shot of how I did it Tuesday.

Doing a new Star Wars: The Old Republic rotation video tonight.

I am using Deception now and need to list my new rotation.  I use Corel Video Studio X5 to edit my videos and I use the graphics to add the affects.

Here is my last video: http://youtu.be/_HfLQRFAt1Q

You can see I add a good title and say the name of the action as well as show the button.  The features of the software allow this.  I got the graphics from a 1080p screen shot.  It takes about an hour editing if you know what you are doing and remembered your rotation.

If you send me a screen shot a rotation list and a video of your rotation I can do one for you!  Love doing them and the traffic is good,

Welcome to the TheGeneralcrow YouTube blog.

I run a 4000 views a month YouTube channel where I blog my video game playing with my clan and friends.  I have had several people request I start a blog about the programs, set-up and equipment I use to capture the videos and the achievements in game our clan has.

My main blog is a programming one where I am learning programming for Android apps but this seemed important too.

Here are some of the games I capture:

Star War: The Old Republic
Defiance
Guild Wars 2
Asheron's Call
Asheron's Call 2
Magicka
SIM City and many many more.

Here is my break down of the software I use and the best features of the software.

Fraps and graphics:

Great software but there are some issues in Windows 8.  It has frame buffer issues when running in window mode and can not capture the desktop.  I tend to capture 1080p at 30 frames per second.  This means 6-7 minutes a 4Gb file so I have 160Gb ready for a days play and capture on a second 500Gb HDD.  Hardware is important, I use a 8 Xenon core machine a HP xw6400 as my main PC.  Here is a great trick the processor is not as important as the graphics card and RAM.  My system has 6Gb of RAM and that is best for my capture 2Gb above the recommended for a lot of games to ensure a smooth capture.

Please feel free to ask me questions here is one of my latest Defiance videos:

You will notice I have turned down a few features that were full screen effects, these caused frame issues when there was a lot of action.  remember the graphics interface is doing your capture as well as the HDD and processor.  Bloom looks good but I find on the graphics card I use is a heavy overhead.

More next time.. I post every other day here.
