Apple’s Final Cut Pro is the leading video-editing program. It’s a $1,000 professional app. It was used to make “The Social Network,” “True Grit,” “Eat Pray Love” and thousands of student movies, independent films and TV shows. According to the research firm SCRI, it has 54 percent of the video-editing market, far more than its rivals from Adobe and Avid.
Did I use the present tense? Sorry about that. Final Cut was the industry leader. It did cost $1,000. But that’s all over now.

LIVE FEED: Huge Photos From Apple's Big Event (AAPL)
Amazon quietly rolled out a daily deals service in Boise, Idaho called Amazon Local, but thankfully TheNextWeb caught on.
At first, it looks like a straight daily deals site by Amazon in the mould of Groupon: the deal today is 50% off ice cream and shakes at a local store.
But it's not. The deal actually comes from LivingSocial, which counts Amazon among its big investors, and it seems that what Amazon Local is doing is actually aggregating deals from other companies. Right now it's just LivingSocial but there's no reason why it wouldn't include other players. There's also a sweetener for using Amazon Local in the form of Visa reward points.
This looks like an experiment by Amazon more than anything else at this point, but it's a smart one.
The daily deals market is huge and Amazon needs to be there. At the same time, it's a bit difficult to tackle. It requires a huge sales force and a presence in every state. It poses serious tax issues for Amazon. And daily deals are as much about advertising as they are about commerce, and does Amazon really want to tackle Google and Yelp and Foursquare in local advertising?
So the aggregation route, like investing in LivingSocial, is a smart way to get intelligence, relationships, and of course money, in a huge fast-growing space without having to go all-in.
We look forward to seeing whether/how Amazon rolls this out more widely. We're also curious what our friends at Yipit think about having Jeff Bezos as their new competitor.

REVEALED: Amazon's Secret Groupon-Killer Is Live, And It's Not What You'd Expect (AMZN)
On May 21, at 6 PM, many believe the Rapture will take place.
Believers think the Rapture is basically the beginning of the end of the world.
Well, of course, 6pm in New Zealand comes about 18 hours earlier than 6pm in the US, so that means the US folks get to watch the fun unfold.
(The end-of-worlders say that God's going to respect time zones, and make the Rapture a rolling thing).
So we gathered up a bunch of live web cams across the U.S. and the world, so you can tune in to see what the Rapture will look like everywhere.
