AutoCAD for Mac 2011 Brings Powerful Tools to Mac

Although it’s taken Autodesk more than 18 years to bring its CAD software back to Apple’s Macintosh platform, there’s something to be said for waiting until it can be done properly. AutoCAD 2011 for Mac takes the market-leading tool for which Autodesk is famous and couples it with an interface that remains true to the Mac environment. The software recognizes multitouch gestures on supported input hardware, and it’s possible to browse AutoCAD files in the Mac OS X Finder with the Cover Flow option. It includes support for the company’s AutoLISP programming language and ObjectARX extension applications, as well as the command line interface that allows users to bypass the software’s menus and palettes and enter commands directly for ultimate efficiency. This is a complete rewrite of the application for the Mac, and many potential customers will focus on what’s missing, especially in the areas of layering and workflow. But as a first pass&#151or, at least, the first one in almost 20 years&#151AutoCAD 2011 for Mac is rather impressive. – …

Sony Bloggie Touch, Flip HD Hold Dedicated-Device Line vs. Smartphones

Sony and Cisco continue to update their respective Bloggie and Flip lines of ultra-portable camera devices in spite of the growing popularity of smartphones and portable media players with camera modules and robust imaging software. Despite the latter’s rise, dedicated cameras such as Bloggie and Flip offer some distinct advantages for shutterbugs. First, there’s ease of use: One button turns these devices on, one big button records, and a USB port uploads images and video to your PC and Mac.Second, many dedicated devices on the market shoot images and video at high resolution. For example, the Bloggie Touch can shoot video in 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, along with 12.8-megapixel still images. The Flip Ultra HD boasts 1,280-by-720 resolution, along with a slimmer body than previous iterations. But with smartphones adding new visual software and more powerful camera modules on a quarter-by-quarter basis, will dedicated cameras such as the Bloggie and Flip eventually find themselves shunted to the dustbin of dead tech? That’s a question the marketplace will decide. – …

Google Chrome takes another step toward enterprise suitability with enterprise-ready installation packages and configuration options that will allow IT administrators to centrally manage the availability, freshness and operational behavior of Googles Web browser. In December, Google released a new Windows installer package compatible with standard enterprise software deployment tools, along with a set of new policy templates for use with Windows Active Directory (along with some deployment help for Linux and Mac desktops as well).
