<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iSight is the built in camera that comes along with the MacBook. Photo Booth is an application that comes along with Mac OS X Leopard. Photo Booth has got some pretty cool stuff. Here are a few of the snaps that I have taken using some of the effects in Photo Booth.</p>
<p>Reminds me of the Hall of mirrors that was there at Military Mahadev back in Belgaum.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've just bought macbook for two weeks and in the first weeks I found that my iSight was not working. As soon as I turn on the power, the green light was shine, and when I launch the photobooth application, the camera blacked out. It's not happening all the time though (sometimes it's normal after restart), and it come back in the next day. I bring it to the apple center, and they asked me to do disc utility checking. It didn't solve my problem. I browse google and find these useful tips:</p>
<h4>Resetting PRAM and NVRAM</h4>
<ol>
<li>Shut down the computer.</li>
<li>Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.</li>
<li>Turn on the computer.</li>
<li>Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.</li>
<li>Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.</li>
<li>Release the keys.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.</p>
<p><strong>Solution to fix your black screen camera on your MacBook</strong>:</p>
<p>1) Shut down your Mac.<br />
2) Remove the battery and plug power sources.<br />
3) Hold the on/off Power switch button on your Mac for 5 seconds.<br />
4) Reconnect the battery and turn your Mac back on. That should re-enable your internal iSight camera.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure everyone wants to own a "real" (You'll soon know why I explicitly say "real") Ferrari car but not everyone is so lucky. I am one of those not so lucky guys. I don't know if I'll ever be able to own a "real" Ferrari car, so I thought lets start collecting some Ferrari limited edition products. This, I thought will atleast give me some sense of satisfaction. So here's what I got from various Ferrari show rooms while I travelled.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>The Car - Not the real one</strong></span></p>
[caption id="attachment_142" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The Ferrari Car"]<a href="http://mithin.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/05.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-142" title="The Ferrari Car" src="http://mithin.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/05.jpg?w=300" alt="Ferrari Car" width="300" height="162" /></a>[/caption]
<p>This is the miniature version of the real car. Its been beautifully done and the smallest of the detail has been taken care of while making it.</p>

<p>Not so clear in the picture but believe me, its beautifully done.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 1in;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">In 1970, Americans spent about $6 billion on fast food; in 2000, they spent more than $110 billion. Americans now spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music - combined.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Some stats say that over half of all money spent on food is spent in fast food.<span>  </span>We live in a fast food nation.<span>  </span>Unfortunately, the fast food concept has invaded our lives and changed the way we interact with people, travel and make political decisions.<span>  </span>The most unfortunate of these, I would say, is how it has affected our view on God.<span>  </span>We now want a God who can provide quick answers and fast solutions and do it with bright lights and lots of color, instead of a God that is real and true and trustworthy and constant.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">In Burger Joint Theology, I intend to look at how the American view of God has changed, what it means for us today, and how it is different from the Biblical view of God. It should be a wild ride, but I’m excited we’re on it together.<span>  </span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho un mac sotto mano, precisamente un MacBook nero di seconda generazione con Leopard installato, e un po' di tempo fa tentai di far riconoscere la webcam su Ubuntu ma non ci riuscii e poi ho abbandonato.</p>
<p>Stasera ho trovato questo link:</p>
<p><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764616" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764616</a></p>
<p>e, seguendo la guida, sono riuscito finalmente a fare una videochiamata su skype.</p>
<p>In pratica dovete copiarvi il file del firmware e dovete patcharlo, il file si trova nella directory del Mac indicata in questo link:<a href="http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/" target="_blank">http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/</a></p>
<p>lo dovete copiare in una directory (si suggerisce<strong> /lib/firmware</strong>) e poi seguire le istruzioni che vi porteranno ad installare un pacchetto dal nome <strong>isight-firmware-tools</strong> che vi chiede la directory in cui avete copiato il vostro firmware per poterlo patchare.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#FAF8CC;">Since I've been in book-buying mode lately I though I'd give a shout out to one of my favorite Mac programs. While there's very little practical use to Delicious Library it is pure fun. Using my Mac's Isight (Webcam) the program scans bar codes, checks Amazon, and then pulls up information about whatever I just scanned and stores it on a "shelf" that's fun to browse through. I think my family must have believed I'd lost it the day I downloaded Delicious. In a frenzy of scanning I rapidly searched the house for anything with a bar code. Nothing was safe. Books, movies, even video games were snatched from their resting spots and shoved in from of the camera where a strangely satisfying "Beep" would issue and then a voice would read off the title to ensure it was correct. While occasionally the application would throw something random up, for the most part it functions flawlessly. I really like having little icons of all my books on nice shelves and the ability to search through them by author, genre, or any number of factors. Ok, well I'm going to go look like an idiot frantically waving those new books I bought in front of my laptop :)<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow... this is great news for us. <span class="post-footers">Mike Melanson, the developer of the Linux version of the Flash plugin, just announced on <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/07/paparazzi_v2_1.html">his blog</a> that Flash plugin 10 beta 2 will start supporting V4L2!</span></p>
<p>For Dokeos, this means that we will now be able to use the video recording of our little webcams directly from Linux. This is probably the great news of the day...</p>
<h3>2008-10-11 update</h3>
<p>I'm just finishing an hour of testing here. I have two webcams, one integrated in my laptop (Mac Book Pro) and one as a separate, USB webcam (Philips ToUCam 740, a common and good model), and none of them work. The iSight itself is recognized by the Flash plugin, but as soon as I accept to use it, the browser crashes...</p>
<p>I have reported the problem with the ToUCam 740 on the developer's blog (like many people do) and proposed my assistance in testing it, but as usual, no reply, nothing. It's been a few weeks now since I posted the report, and obviously other people had the same problem with the same webcams (the iSight problem was reported about 3 times).</p>
<p>Anyway, I just wanted to report that maybe I had placed my hopes a little too high on this new Flash player version...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it turns out that I might have been hacked today. I was taking out the garbage and my brother Lewis said that when he came in my room the iSight camera was on. I did not open up anything that would require the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight" target="_blank">iSight</a> to be turned on so that concerns me. I changed my passwords so hopefully that takes care of it.</p>
<p>On to other news. I uploaded some nice pictures on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gavinovz/" target="_blank">flickr</a> and a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAL-1gVGi_I" target="_blank">video </a>that took me ALL DAY to make. I am not as pleased on how it came out but I really wanted to make it. Maybe I will do a remix of the video some years from now. Also zac might not get back with the checked copy of the first chapter. Hopefully this will not take this long for a 1 page and a half chapter!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#FAF8CC;">So I finished "When Heaven Weeps" and was really wanting to read the next book in the series. The problem? I'm an hour and a half (About $7.50 in gas terms) from home and its public library. I found something out though. Ruston has a public library too! Yeah, weird coincidence, huh? Lol. So I drove down to the library and had a shiny new card within five minutes of parking.<br />
[caption id="attachment_351" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Wow! It\'s REALLY Shiny!"]<a href="http://collegelife101.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/photo-1088.jpg"><img src="http://collegelife101.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/photo-1088.jpg?w=300" alt="Wow! It\&#39;s REALLY Shiny!" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-351" /></a>[/caption]<br />
<span style="color:#FAF8CC;"> Of course now I should search for the Ted Dekker book and then get back to the dorm for a nap. Instead I decide to get a quick feel for Lincoln Parish Library.</p>
<p><span style="color:#FAF8CC;">----Two And A Half Hours, Six Books, One Audio-Book, And One DVD Later----</p>
<p><span style="color:#FAF8CC;">What can I say? I actually saw about twenty more books I wanted to get but figured it'd be hard to carry them up three flights of stairs :(  I never got the Martyr's song book either because it was checked out. I'm still very happy with what I got though. That includes my Blue Ocean Water from Sonic. I love the happy hour half-price deal!<br />
<span style="color:#FAF8CC;">By the way, the audio-book is one I've read before and will listen to on the ride to and from home (I could have gotten a new one, but audio-books have always seemed like cheating to me). Grrrr, I have to go to math now so  suppose my stack will have to wait until later.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Предисловие
Посещая мою любимую девушку на прошлой не]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Предисловие</h2>
<p>Посещая мою любимую девушку на прошлой неделе (мы живем в разных городах, на разных побережьях) мы игрались с приложением для моего iPhone Touch под названием Locations. Программка довольно простая - поиск и просмотр веб камер со всего мира. Можно сохранить какое-то количество камер и она их будет периодически обновлять.</p>
<p>Рассматривая камеры в Милане да Париже мне захотелось сделать что-нибудь подобное для себя - онлайн веб камеру. Я подобными вещами никогда раньше не занимался, да и на поиски в интернете времени тратить особенно не хотелось (все что нашел - какие-то сложные сервисы с live video и прочими вкусностями, но всё какое-то слишком перегруженное). Так что решил сделать это сам. В итоге ушло минут 10-15, и вот что мы получили в результате:</p>
<p><a href="http://i37.tinypic.com/2qapwt1.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2qapwt1.jpg" alt="" width="459" height="390" /></a></p>
<p>Страничку накидал очень быстро, просто чтобы как-то отобразить время последнего обновления.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<h2>Как это все работает, и как сделать такоё же</h2>
<p>Всё до безобразия просто. Просто - если у вас Макбук. Про остальные системы чуть ниже.</p>
<p><strong>Первым делом</strong> нам понадобится <a href="http://www.intergalactic.de/pages/iSight.html">isightcapture</a>. Скачиваем, копируем в /usr/bin/.</p>
<p><strong>Далее</strong>, нам нужно научиться делать снимки и сохранять их локально. Тут нет ничего сложного: открываем терминал и пишем:</p>
<blockquote><p>isightcapture ~/current.jpg</p></blockquote>
<p>Эта команда сделает фотографию того, что видит камера и сохранит её как current.jpg в вашей домашней директории.</p>
<p><strong>Самое интересно </strong>состоит в загрузке получившейся фотографии на какой-нибудь сервер. Это так же и является наверное самым сложным этапом. У меня есть домашний сервер с уникальным IP адресом\своим доменом, у кого-то есть свои хостинги с SSH доступом, но у большинства ничего этого нет. Что делать? Читайте самый низ этого поста.</p>
<p>Ну а для тех у кого есть доступ к каким-нибудь серверам - давайте воспользуемся scp. Налаживает необходимые public keys дабы не вопрошало пароль (<a href="http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/">очень хорошая статья</a> на эту тему), и в терминале пишем:</p>
<blockquote><p>scp ~/current.jpg media.mywebserver.com:/home/mywebserver/media/webcam/</p></blockquote>
<p>Эта команда загрузит ваш файл на ваш же сервер в нужное место. Это я тут пишу для полноты рассказа, ведь скорее всего если вам есть куда загружать файл по ssh протоколу вы и без меня знаете как это сделать :)</p>
<p><strong>Автоматизация </strong>этих простых двух шагов заключается вот в чем. Первым делом создайте где-нибудь, скажем в ~/Scripts файл под названием, к примеру, webcam.sh. Далее поместите в него обе команды:</p>
<blockquote><p>#!/bin/bash</p>
<p>isightcapture ~/current.jpg</p>
<p>scp ~/current.jpg media.mywebserver.com:/home/mywebserver/media/webcam/</p></blockquote>
<p>Первая строка говорит о том, чем именно нужно запускать этот файл. Узнать где у вас находится bash можно написав в Терминале <em>which bash</em>. Сохраните файл, и теперь откройте терминал и добавьте запись в кронтаб (командой <em>crontab -e</em>):</p>
<blockquote><p>*/1 * * * * sh ~/Scripts/webcam.sh</p></blockquote>
<p>Это заставит крон вызывать ваш маленький скрипт каждую минуту. Подробнее про крон почитать можно <a href="http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm">вот тут</a>.</p>
<p><strong>На сервере</strong> можно теперь, к примеру, создать веб страничку которая будет отображать картинку current.jpg так как вам этого захочется. Из неё самой можно выдергивать информацию о том когда она была создана. К примеру вот так, на PHP:</p>
<blockquote><p>Last spied on Grisha: &#60;?php echo date("F jS, Y @ h:i:s A", filemtime("current.jpg")); ?&#62;</p></blockquote>
<p>Получится то, что видно сверху на скриншоте.</p>
<p>Так как при каждом обновлении с вебкамеры файл перезаписывается, картинка на веб странице тоже будет обновляться вместе с этой информацией.</p>
<h2>А если не мак осх?</h2>
<p>Конечно же далеко не у всех маки с камерами iSight. Тут я вам не в помощь, так как у меня к сожалению нет времени на поиски консольного софта для снятия фотографий с вебкамер под Windows или даже под другие *nix системы. Наверняка софт какой-нибудь есть, наверняка есть и бесплатный. Многие вебкамеры идут с подобными программки (так мне рассказывали, сам не пробовал - не знаю), так что возможно вы как-нибудь воспользуетесь ими. Пишите в комментарии если хотите поделится инструкциями для других систем, было бы интересно почитать.</p>
<h2>А как-нибудь проще можно?</h2>
<p>Я понимаю что для многих это по той или иной причине будет не совсем доступно, пусть и достаточно гибко. К примеру, моя любимая теперь сможет смотреть как я работаю или же пью кофе где-нибудь в кафе в гавани Виктории, но вот я не смогу посмотреть как она занимается в центре Торонто. Хотя бы по этому я постепенно начал делать небольшой онлайн сервис, который упростит задачу до двух простых шагов: регистрация + установка маленькой программки. Программка эта будет делать фотографии с камеры и посылать их на сервис, а он же будет их отображать избранным (или же всем подряд) людям. Можно будет настроить временной интервал, степень публичности момента (показывать всем, только друзьям, только избранным), ну и еще пару вещей.</p>
<p>Всё это имеет смысл интегрировать с сервисами вроде Twitter'a (о котором я <a title="про микро-макро блоггинг" href="http://grigory.wordpress.com/2008/06/01/micro-and-mini-blogging-twitter-and-tumblr/">как-то писал</a>), и тогда получится вполне себе неплохой инструмент для слежки за близкими людьми :)</p>
<p>Следите за обновлениями, думаю через несколько недель запущу что-нибудь для публичного тестирования. Ну или найду что-нибудь готовое и расскажу вам всем об этом =)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://entregeeks.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/eco-laptop.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1268 aligncenter" src="http://entregeeks.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/eco-laptop.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="351" /></a></p>
<p>Investigadores y developers han desarrollado un sistema <a href="http://entregeeks.wordpress.com/2008/03/03/tipos-de-licensias-open-source/"><strong>Open Source</strong></a> (En tu cara Microsoft) para rastrear una lap top perdida de manera gratuita, este servicio se llama <a href="http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/"><strong>Adeona</strong></a>.</p>
<p class="storybody">Perder tu lap top en estos dias es como perder parte de tu vida: Le dices adios a tus fotos, juegos, archivos y demas cosas (incluido el porno, nooo) peor aun si tu lap top es de tu trabajo, eso significaria una brecha de seguridad grande para tu empresa y probablemente puedas hasta perder el empleo.</p>
<p class="storybody">Pero ahora investigadores y desarrolladores de la <strong>University of Washington</strong> y la <strong>University of California</strong> en San Diego, han encontrado la manera de darte una oportunidad de recuperar tu lap top y tu vida (y probablemente tu empleo). El Lunes planean lanzar un servicio open source que podra rastrear tu lap top, el servicio se llama <a href="http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/" target="_blank">Adeona</a> el cual es gratis y privado.</p>
<p class="storybody">Nombrado asi en honor a la Deidad Romana que guia a los niños perdidos de vuelta con sus padres, Adeona usa software que ha estado en desarrollo desde el año pasado.</p>
<p class="storybody">Asi es como trabaja: El usuario baja el software cliente en su lap top, lo ejecuta y ya. El Adeona comenzara a enviar notas encriptadas de manera anonima acerca de donde esta la computadora, que servidores utiliza, etc. Si la lap top se pierde el dueño baja otro programa, teclea su usuario y contraseña y recoge los datos que la lap top ha enviado, desde un servicio de almacenamiento gratuito que ha estado por años llamado <a href="http://opendht.org/" target="_blank">OpenDHT</a>.</p>
<p class="storybody">La version MAC del Adeona usa tambien un programa llamado <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18598" target="_blank">isightcapture</a> el cual toma fotos de las partes en donde se esta usando la lap top a travez del Isight.</p>
<p class="storybody">Adeona no provee exactamente el domicilio o el telefono de la persona que robo o usa tu lap top, pero te dice el IP (Internet Protocol) que tiene que si es usado de manera correcta se puede rastrear facilmente para localizar la posicion geografica real de tu lap top, la policia tiene esta tecnologia y se puede detener al malechor dice Tadayoshi Kohno, profesor asistente de la University of Washington. "Una vez que recuperes la informacion de tu lap top enviada por Adeona, probablemente quieras llevarla a la policia."</p>
<p>El servicio se ve bastante interesante, y aunque influyen mucho las circunstancias (ya que los ejemplos se dan en un marco imaginario y tu lap top no la roba un hacker que formatea el Disco Duro o no usa Proxy By pass) y no todas las veces se puede recuperar una lap top de esta manera si es un gran paso hacia adelante para poder, en un futuro no lejano, recuperar los objetos perdidos.... mmmm, pensandolo bien, tambien se podria utilizar en otros productos..... que tal como un carro, que por donde pase y exista una señal Wireless (que ya existen muchas con eso de los AMPM que las dan gratis) te enviara informacion de donde esta..... mmmm seria una buena idea, ustedes que piensan mis queridos geeks.</p>

All visual code design using easy block and spaghetti lines to join the blocks. Easy and simple and you can make some pretty interesting things. The only drawback I found was that I needed a lot a clicking to get things done. Perhaps learning some keyboard shorcuts of by heart will do good :-). Anyway you can see a screenshot of a screensaver using the iSight camera below. (Try it on your own PC using this <a href="http://www.dikidee.nl/wda/WebcamScreensaver.zip">download</a>)</p>
<p><em>Note: These are Screensavers (Mac OS X - Tiger and Leopard)<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WOW yesterday I finished wallpapering the living room and now its looking nice ;-) although the process made me very stressed because I have never done the job before!. All those windows and doors with turns and holes and trying to get the paper on the wall was a nightmare, imagine me covered in paper paste sweating my tits off and flapping around in a pair of flip flops!....it  was a strange sight I can tell you. By the end my shoulders were tighter than a nuns crack, and my face redder than a porn stars arse!.</p>
<p>I as literally running around ALL day and then I cooked some food and afterwards I posted some QUICK FLASH CREATIONS on flickr which I must say look very good considering that they were produced with isight on my macbook and then thrown in photoshop for a flash edit!. I'm liking this idea of producing images because at the moment I have NO time at all with the maintence work on the house and I can produce images at a fast speed which fulfills my creative urges! and sometimes great art comes from really impulsive  and intuitive working processes.</p>

<p><span>Hoy uno de los rumores más sonados que circula por la comunidad mac internacional es el hallazgo por parte de <strong><a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2008/06/15/apple-to-release-an-isight-hd/">Macrumors</a></strong> de unas referencias en un fichero de configuración de QuickTime a una “<strong>iSight HD”, </strong>es decir lo que podría ser una nueva versión mejorada de nuestras iSight con alta definición.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Sea en verdad o no, un posible hallazgo con base real lo que seguro es, que Apple va a ver el interés que toda la comunidad tiene ya desde hace mucho por una nueva iSight externa, a ser posible ya de pedir yo como siempre pediría que tuviera conexión ethernet para ya puestos sacarle verdadero provecho no  solo a través de iChat o iMovie.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>La iSight nació como cámara externa halla por el 2004 según he podido encontrar en la documentación de <a href="http://www.apple.com/la/isight/">Apple</a>, nació como cámara externa pues de aquella nadie había podido aun integrar una cámara en un ordenador, y todas eran externas. Nació como toda un estrella pues su resolución era VGA de 640×480 y se conectaba a diferencia del resto de cámaras por puerto firewire. Hecha de una aleación de aluminio y con objetivo de autoenfoque en planos cortos de hasta 50 mm o en largos hasta el infinito, lo cual dejaba muy atrás a toda la competencia cuyas resoluciones andaban por los 320×280 y conexiones usb 1.1.</span></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><span>En 2006 la cámara iSight fue retirada del mercado europeo al salir una nueva normativa sobre materiales tóxicos. Tras este golpe Apple saco una nueva versión que fue capaz de integrar en las nuevas versiones de iMac y en los nuevos portátiles supuestamente con otros materiales alternativos y no tóxicos, pero que no tenía ninguna nueva característica. Esta nueva versión fue comercializada hasta 2007 momento hasta cual aun convivía con la antigua iSight externa en el mercado americano donde todavía se comercializaba.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://applendiendo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/the_isight.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-371 aligncenter" src="http://applendiendo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/the_isight.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="398" /></a></p>
<p><span>En 2007 llego al fin una versión mejorada de la iSight que aumentaba la resolución a <strong>1280× 1024</strong> y además tenía por primera vez una resolución fotográfica de <strong>1.3 Mp</strong>. A partir de entonces desapareció también del mercado americano la antigua iSight externa y con ella los maqueros nos quedamos un poco en precario a la hora de hacer videoconferencias pues solo teníamos un posible ángulo de emisión al venir ya la cámara integrada lo cual empeora o empobrece mucho la calidad  o posibilidades de las Videoconferencias.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://applendiendo.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/mbpro-ib-isight-builtin.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-372 aligncenter" src="http://applendiendo.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/mbpro-ib-isight-builtin.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="252" /></a></p>
<p><span>Así que empezaron a surgir un mercado de cámaras de otras marcas y Apple saco revisiones de software para iChat y que pudieran utilizarse cámaras de conexión usb de otras marcas pues sino dejaba sin posibilidad de hacer videoconferencia a los usuarios del Mac Mini o del Mac Pro que han tenido que buscarse la vida desde entonces, y ya han pasado dos años. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">De la iSight actual lo más curioso es que Apple prácticamente no ha hablado de ella ni de sus mejoras en comparación con primera versión, es un tema olvidado, no mencionado, y que hasta hoy parecía al menos condenado al olvido. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>En fin, que esperemos que pronto Apple se decida y nos alegre la vida a los maqueros con una nueva iSight externa de mayor resolución que haga que no tengamos que buscar otras cámaras alternativas de peor calidad y más difícil integración con nuestro software. Esperemos que este rumor se haga realidad en este 2008, y por Dios! que le pongan una conexión ethernet.</span></p>
