In downloading the January 27th, 2010 Apple iPad Keynote this weekend, I noticed that the show was tagged “Explicit”. In watching the podcast, I didn’t see much in the way that would garner the Keynote the tag. I decided it must have been the fact that the iPad caused many bad words to come from Amazon and Sony. Possibly back at Big Red (Verizon) they were shouting many bad words about how they failed to score the 3G contract for the latest Apple device. Maybe Bill Gates let out some bad words related to “why the BAD WORD are we wasting time on the Zune and not creating this”. Anyway you look at it, the iPad and more importantly the Keynote may have garnered it the “Explicit” tag due to all the BAD WORDS coming out of its competitors collective mouths.
As I look at all the Apple Devices I own, is there room enough for the iPad? I bet my wife says NO!! I wonder if has to do with our family owning a 24″ iMac, a 13″ MacBook Unibody, an iPhone, his & hers iPod Touch, an iPod with video, an iPod Nano and an iPod Shuffle.
It was able to covert a video file into many different file formats. However, the developer decided to call it quits back in 2008 and though the utility is still useable there has not been an update since that time.
Finally, after a few years a candidate to replace VisualHub has emerged.
The fine folks over at The Little App Factory have developed Evom. Best of all it is free! Evom is able to convert video files into several file formats including Apple TV, iPod, HTML5, YouTube, Flash, AVI and many more. Like many people, if you have lost the ability to make VisualHub work or are new to OS X, please give Evom a try.

In case you haven’t noticed, this blog has gone through some changes. On January 30th, 2010 despite my best efforts Wordpress left my blog in ruins. All of my posts from 2006 on, were lost to a catastrophic error. Therefore I have decided to forgo days and months of troubleshooting what went wrong. Stay tuned as I try to put out new content aimed at the geek in me. Thanks.
