Ziff-Davis 
publication Publish (ah, how I loved that magazine back in the desktop publishing days of the early 90s) covers what they describe as the ‘beta of [CNN’s] new streaming news service, CNN Pipeline, to a select group of employees.’ They provide nine screenshots of the application, showing portions of an order path, the main feed, login, application live, on-demand, browse, mini and search modes. They also point out that there are two players, one web-based and another a PC desktop app. Gallery is here, story here.
Widening our view of Aperture
This is a good read. Rob Galbraith digs more deeply into Apple’s Aperture due later this month. In addition to looking at many of the features in more detail, Rob has some interesting conclusions about how the new app compares with other programs in this category. And he obviously concludes that Photoshop remains safe and sound, but seems to think this will be a great addition to many shooters workflow setups.

NY Dining…
In New York for meetings this week, 
and headed out with some team members for a nice dinner in SoHo. One of the locals picked Fiamma, self-described as ‘Sleek, sexy, sophisticated’, a solution the BR Guest management company has duplicated in both Las Vegas and Scottsdale. That said, service was great, we had a great 1995 Roagna Barbaresco, and Drew Barrymore was sitting two tables down from us. In other NYC restaurant news, the famed Michelin guide released ratings for some 507 NY eateries in the five boroughs, and the book goes on sale this Friday. Only four received the coveted 3-star rating (Alain Ducasse, Jean Georges, Le Bernadin and Per Se), but Daniel, described by the NY Times as being in the top rank of NY restaurants, took only two stars. The Times run down is worth a look, and I look forward to the full reviews on Friday.
