The admin panel went through a major revamp in Wordpress 2.5. While most of the changes are welcome, IMHO, I think they made a mess of the widget management system. Gone is the ease of the drag and drop widget changing on the fly. Lets say if you want to move a widget from sidebar A to B, you have to first select sidebar A, remove the gadget by clicking on Edit and then Remove , then select Sidebar 2, click Show and then add the sidebar from the list of unused gadgets. Sounds like a lot of work, isn’t it? It is. I don’t understand the logic behind this.
Why change something that is easy and is working very well?

If you are like me, probably you are not a fan of the new iMovie ‘08 editor. While it is a great tool for beginneers, users accustomed with editing on iMovie HD will be missing a lot of bells and whistles. Apple even offers the iMovie HD as a free download if you have purchased iLife 08. This is to satisfy the users who were disappointed with the latest version.
Coming to the point, the only feature I miss in iMovie 08 is the ability to import video from the modern DVD and HD based camcorders. So how do you edit the videos you have captured with these devices on iMovie HD? The solution is simple. Use iMovie 08 to import your videos from your HD or DVD based camcorder. Once you have imported, you will be able to see the video clips at your ‘iMovie Events’ folder. The import process simply converts your DVD vob files into quicktime video clips. When you want to edit a movie, close iMovie 08 and fire up iMovie HD. Drag and drop your clips into the edit window and create your masterpiece from here!
