Check out this absolutely incredible 3D Architectural short film by Alex Roman made entirely in 3D Studio Max and After Effects. It’s so incredibly realistic in places that its hard to believe that it isn’t real.

Macworld’s Jonathan Seff takes the new (and much improved) handbrake 0.9.4 for a spin

The first full trailer for Toy Story 3 is now available online at Apple’s Movie Trailers Site. Looks like a blast!

I really believe that there is a growing interest for blu-ray on the Mac. One of the things that leads me to suspect this is that the number one search term and link that is bringing people to this site at the moment is blu-ray. In particular Final Cut’s Blu Ray support. More and more people keep asking me: “when do you think the Mac will get blu-ray?” which is usually followed by “should I wait?” To be honest I doubt it will come this year. I suspect that when Apple does their widely rumoured Autumn Mac refresh, blu-ray won’t be on the cards (and John Gruber says so, so it must be true). I suspect that Apple’s primary focus will be keeping costs down for the holiday season, and although blu-ray burners are much cheaper than they used to be, they’re still more expensive than a normal superdrive. Unless they add it as a build to order option, I can’t see it coming before January.
