So, I’m reading through my email last night, and I come across this week’s edition
of [Circuits](http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/technology/circuits.html) from
the New York Times. [David Pogue](http://www.davidpogue.com/) wrote what was basically
a huge rant about the new version of [iMovie](http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/)
from Apple. iMovie has been completely re-written and re-positioned as an application
to quickly create and share movies. This is quite a change from the intent of the
previous versions of iMovie, but it also goes along with today’s YouTube-crazed 
world. Pogue wants his iMovie back so he can make professional movies at a bargain
price. Someone in his position should really be using at least Final Cut Express
anyway, and I’m sure the New York Times can afford to buy a copy for him.

Fake Steve Jobs has [a theory](http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/2007/08/smurfy-pogue-stabs-me-in-back.html)
about why Pogue is so upset. The iPhone was so perfect that Pogue had no chance
to give any negative feedback. Of course, it was in his contract to only say wonderful,
positive things about Apple’s latest creation.

I will reserve judgment on the new version of iMovie until I’ve had a chance to 
create a few movies, but it can’t be nearly as terrible as Pogue makes it sound.
