We’d like to thank everyone that took part in our little foray into the iPhone app world. We have decided due to technical reasons to withdraw our application while we re-evaluate how we want to proceed with this platform given the imminent release of the iPad (and possible 4th generation iPhone…?) I’d like to thank all those who downloaded our app and tested it out with us, your feedback was extremely helpful. We hope to have a new greatly improved offering in the near future – we’ll keep you posted! Thank you everyone once again for your interest.
Apple has announced a repair extension program for some MacBook owners who purchased their machines between approximately May 2006 and December 2007. According to Apple the hard drives in these computers may fail “under certain conditions.” Apple states that this problem affects a very small percentage of MacBook owners, however if you are one of these owners and find one day a flashing question mark on the screen at boot up (a fairly strong indication that your hard drive has failed) you should contact us immediately.
Everyone is talking about how the iPad is going to change the publishing industry, how it could rejuvenate or save even it. While it’s not specifically an iPad demo, Wired magazine has put out this video showing what I think is the best example so far of what the future of magazines and newspapers looks like. If you think that’s pretty cool then you’ll be glad to hear that Wired magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson also announced this week at TED Conference (Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference – a must if you’ve never explored before) that they will also be releasing their content this way for the iPad by this summer. Stay tuned for more – the potential of the iPad is definitely getting exciting.
The next time you’re in the store, take a moment to check out our music setup. Those toe tapping tunes that seem to come from everywhere and no where aren’t being piped in over a several thousand dollar surround sound speaker system but instead are taking advantage of iTunes built in streaming feature, an Airport Express, and an AppleTV.
As an avid photographer I have been using and loving Aperture since it was first released. Aperture 2 is one of my favourite programs and now with the release of Aperture 3, I expect that will only become more true. According to Apple: “Aperture 3 combines powerful performance with iPhoto simplicity to help you refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive libraries on your Mac. With more than 200 new features and enhancements, it can help you take your photography to the next level. Now you can perfect your images with brushes. Apply adjustment presets to instantly create a custom look. And when you import your pictures from iPhoto, all name and location data is preserved.” Read the rest of this entry »

Emma-Lynn Whitman was selected as this year’s FilmCAN student filmmaker competition winner in the senior catagory for her short film “Technology Is A Dead Bird.” We at Soho are very pleased to present Emma with an brand new 21.5″ iMac computer loaded with Final Cut Express to help her further her filmmaking career. Emma-Lynn was awarded her new iMac at the Pre-Fest Bash held last night (Jan 7th) at IslandFX. You can watch this winning film here as well as all the other films created by students around the capital region for FilmCAN online. In addition to winning the iMac loaded with Final Cut Express, Emma-Lynn’s winning film will be shown on the big screen as part of this year’s Victoria Film Festival! We’re proud to sponsor the Victoria Film Festival and youth programs like FilmCAN. Congratulations once again Emma!
If you’ve been by the store lately you may have noticed some posters going up for this coming years’ Victoria Film Festival. Last year we provided equipment for the box offices and admin to running of the festival. This year Soho is proud to increase our support of this seminal yearly event as a benefactor and wanting to be even more involved we were thrilled when the idea of sponsoring the FilmCAN competition came up. FilmCAN is a program run by the Victoria Film Festival to encourage elementary and high school students to create short films. We really couldn’t think of anything better than helping to encourage and foster burgeoning creative talents and we’re hopeful that Soho’s donation of an 21.5″ iMac loaded with Final Cut Express will help the winning grade 9 – 12 student pursue their dreams to the utmost. As part of the program students also have access to professional mentors through the Film Festival office to help them create their films.
