Whither LiveType?

Apple released the Universal Binary version of Final Cut Studio today, upping the version number to 5.1.

Of interest to a few, it appears as though LiveType did not survive the translation to Intel. Can't find any statement regarding whether or not it is permanently decommissioned, but I'll update the post if anything surfaces anytime soon.

Have never been a heavy user of LiveType, but I do appreciate its results, and it's quite fun to play with.

Update: As near as I can figure out, LiveType has been moved to be an element of Final Cut Express HD and jettisoned from Final Cut Studio. So, I think there still is hope for its continued existence when FC Express is updated.

I'm not a regular reader of Scoble. Not a very good blogger in my opinion, and now, more than ever, turned into a kind of mini-Ballmer, a corporate shill striking out at the world because he can't process teh suckiness that was Microsoft's week. link

Hell, some of my best friends use Windows, and I wouldn't wish his biley blog on anybody!

"Beyond that, the Google Video Store looks like it was designed by a hemorrhaging five-year-old with a predilection for the small box of crayons and bad code."

On other topics, I'm working on getting a wordpress blog going at my main url as the ability to sort by topic is worth the effort.
