VectorLinux 7.0 is now available. This release is the result of nearly two years of blood, sweat and tears since the very successful release of VectorLinux 6.0. With the enthusiasm of a small group of packagers, our repository now hosts over a thousand up-to-date packages. VectorLinux is the fastest Linux desktop in its class bar none. We have exceeded our original goals and produced a beautiful, full-featured stable desktop that is fun, fast and efficient.
The main desktop is Xfce 4.8 with a custom theme and artwork. Fluxbox is installed as a secondary desktop option. Much work has been done on localization and we know users from all over the globe will find VectorLinux usable in their language of choice. The kernel is version 3.0.8.

Final Cut Pro provides non-linear non-destructive editing of any QuickTime compatible video format including DV HDV P2 MXF (DVCProHD) XDCAM and 2K film formats. It supports an unlimited number of simultaneously composited video tracks; up to 99 audio tracks; multi-camera editing for combining video from multiple camera sources; as well as standard ripple roll slip slide scrub razor blade and time remapping edit functions. It comes with a range of video transitions and a range of video and audio filters such as keying tools mattes and vocal de-poppers and de-essers. It also has a manual 3-way color correction filter videoscopes and a selection of generators such as slugs test cards and noise.The latest version of Final Cut Pro 7 claims better integration with Apple's other professional applications and improved codec support for editing HD DV and SD video formats including encoding presets for devices such as iPod Apple TV and Blu-ray discs. A technology called DynamicRT built on the RT Extreme technology was released with Final Cut Pro 4. DynamicRT allows a real-time multistream effects architecture which can be set to automatically adjust image quality and frame rate during playback to maintain real time effects. For example when there are a large number of video streams playing simultaneously it will in real time switch to a mode that reduces the quality of the playback so that all of them can be seen in real time; when the computer is capable it will automatically return playback to native quality (that is when there are fewer simultaneous video streams).

Apple has released iOS 4.3, the latest version of its operating system for mobile devices. This is available for iPhone (4 and 3GS), iPod Touch (3rd and 4th generation) as well as iPad and iPad 2 devices. The update is available through iTunes 10.2 for both Windows and Mac systems. Note that whilst the iPhone 3G was supported for the iOS 4.2 update, it is no longer supported in the iOS 4.3 update. Since iOS 4.3 contains security updates, this may leave iPhone 3G users vulnerable.
