With the new iPad now out the device is seriously starting to transition from a content consumption device to something more and more people are using for creation.

Maccast Members 117 – 1080p Home Theater

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 117. When Apple announced the new iPad and Apple TV last week a big part of that was support for 1080p video. In the past I’ve done episodes with Ara Derderian (HTGuys.com) on how to build Apple based home theater set-ups, but since Apple only supported 7020p that has always been the focus. Now that 1080p is here Ara and I chat with Dean Dauger (Dauger Research) about his 1080p based Mac Home Theater set-up.

I happen to be a big fan of Spotlight and think on the whole it works fairly well. Many Spotlight issues can be helped with a little more advanced knowledge of how Spotlight works and a few simple tricks.
