Lane: Software shake-up favors new thinking | Tech News on ZDNet As companies try to adopt offering software as a service, the model will challenge every part of their business, he said. Technologies that make software installation easier and faster are an area to focus on, suggested Lane, who saw one of his Kleiner Perkins portfolio companies, Virsa Systems, sold to SAP using this strategy. Software companies, which are accustomed to customers paying upfront for technology, will have to retool their payment model to fit new services models, which call for customers to pay as they use the software, Lane said. news.zdnet.com /2100-9593_22-6057650.html   (825 words)

MacAddict » Reviews » October 2006   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Shake is roughly half the price of competing compositors such as Adobe’s After Effects 7 Pro Edition (Jul/06, p38) and Autodesk’s Combustion 4 (Jun/06, p43). Likewise, Shake uses optical-flow technology to smoothly speed up or slow down footage, or convert it to slow motion, with an image quality that seems on par with the best results found in high-end plug-ins for other compositors and is way ahead of what Final Cut Pro manages. Shake’s main weakness is its strange user interface, which feels like some alien concoction straight out of the land of Unix workstations (in fact, that’s exactly where Shake got its start, years ago). www.macaddict.com /issues/2006/10/reviews/shake   (1224 words)

Apple Shake: Apple Buys Nothing Real, A High End Compositing Software Maker || The Mac Observer Shake is a US$10,000 (give or take a bit) package that is used in the development of many feature films. If Apple releases their own version of Shake (already dubbed Apple Shake by some), similar to what the company did with Final Cut Pro, which was purchased from Macromedia, Apple will be well positioned to further its assault on the high-end digital editing market.

Oracle bid set to shake up software industry At stake is the $65 billion market for business software, the applications that companies use to track their finances, inventory, production, sales, customers and employees.
