Perhaps the biggest new feature in Final Cut Pro X is the addition of Multicam editing. Typical of Apple when adding a new feature, the company didn’t just think about how to add the functionality, they thought about how to do it better than before.
Apple has received a lot of flak when they released FCP X on the Mac App Store, with people saying that it was no longer a “Pro” app and lacked many of the features one needs in the professional industry. Apple just released an update to the app that brings three of the most requested features.
It’s interesting to note that Apple isn’t playing the version numbers game — this update was 10.0.3.

Acer just showed off its AcerCloud service, something that already sounded suspiciously like Apple’s iCloud. Even the “PicStream” element sounds a lot like Photo Stream. Still not convinced? Acer basically ripped off Apple’s slide wholesale, outside of the font, which is a simulacrum of Apple’s font of yore.
Acer’s biggest announcement at CES was (discreetly) that they’re now Samsung.
