**** Farewell, Shake <http://rss.macworld.com/click.phdo?i=82e103f0c3611551394d9d82946a81b8>
by Gary Adcock, Macworld

Shake has been a solid partner that offered me high-end tools when nothing else in the Apple realm did—until the latest release of Final Cut Studio. While I lament Shake’s passing, Apple has finally brought into Final Cut the last few things that I used Shake for on a regular basis, so hopefully all is not lost with this long-neglected flagship tool.

**** Apple: Secrecy Does Not Scale <http://www.dashes.com/anil/2009/07/apple-secrecy-does-not-scale.html>
by Anil Dash

The element of secrecy that's been required to maintain Apple's mystique has incurred an increasingly costly price.
