This day I have help a good friend of
mine working with something that she must do in his new Mac. She
wants to make some "video" with a gif animated... it's easy but she
is some lost.
No problem, I taked control of her Mac and helped her in the way of doing it.
The first was telling that the most important in Mac way's it's take something and drag over the other thing that you must do. For example, if you want to open a file... well drag it over the application that you want open. If the application open, it will open the file. Easy.
Second was that we need to have the objetive always in mind. If you want to do something with "video" you must do something that finish in a video. You must take a Powerpoint file and "transform" it in a video... How? Easy... with a Mac you have the tools to make it... for example... Keynote.
Next... transform a video into a gif animated... well. For this we need to do some "tricks". Open Flash (Pro), import the video and export into that we need (a animated gif).
As always we must need to have the finish point in mind, the objetive... video.
After time, we have finish it in good terms, she have the video and I have... well, I'm not sure what I have, but I'm happy

iPhone SDK
Today we have see the release of the
iPhone SDK that it will be one of the most important things in this
year. It converts the old and non good looking iPhone into a good
software plataform for bussines and street people.
This made me remember something important. Education. Last days I have seen in Blogmedia people who cry about the idea of use of a Mac. Explain: If you go to a public site and everyone see you with a Mac they always thing that you are a designer or something. That's not true. Or they think that you are a snob who pay more for something like a bad PC.. not true too.
Why it happens? Easy, educaction. In this world and more in where I live (a small town with 400.000 persons living) people usually are like countryside... they usually thing in magic, they no have their own opinion and similar ways. When they see something that it's not included in their way life they try to destroy it. They don't want changes.
This problem is easy. The problem is education. Education and education. Their fathers are people who have educated their childs in the same way that his fathers do with him. They not have open minds because they don't wanna have open mind. For example they usually thing that the best way it's have a big car because big cars means you have money (as you say in a small town the only thing that everybody wants it that your neigtbour think that you have more money). That's because in my town everyone have big cars and if you buy a small car you are idiot. You buy a small car because it's more easy to park or because you don't need a big one... but the others only think that you are stupid because you haven't do that everyone do.
So the basic problem is education, good or bad education, so the big problem it's not schools, is their parents. Parents that send their childs in car to the school living at 300 meters from the school, parents who go to their work who is at 500 meter in car, alone. Parents who doesn't recicle because they don't see that this is important. Parents who think that all in this world is magic.
Education, that's the problem.
