-I have dim memories of my parents inflicting slideshows on me and their friends back in the, well, back when slide projectors were the rage. Technology may have leaped forward in terms of presentation medium, but content hasn't necessarily improved. As Ken Burns demonstrated, it's neither the quality of the photos, nor the special effects used that make a slideshow interesting, it's the story your slideshow tells that makes it interesting.
-To that end today's Mac software gem is [FotoMagico][2] from Boinx Software which is designed to help you transform a slideshow from boring monotony to something people actually want to see.
-FotoMagico is a slideshow app that goes far beyond the limited offerings of something like iPhoto to help you create slideshows your friends might actually sit through.
-Here's a quick rundown of the main features:
-*	Integrates with iLife - use photos from iPhoto and music from iTunes. As of version 1.8 FotoMagico also offers Aperture integration.
-*	Supports most file formats, everything that QuickTime can read.
-*	12 transition methods
-*	Synchronize slides with music (including your own compositions via GarageBand.
-*	"Randomize Pan &amp; Zoom" -- for those that want to get things done quickly.
-*	Add titles to each photo
-*	Export your slideshow to QuickTime.
-*	Burn your slideshow to DVD or CD.
-*	Post your slideshow to your webpage.
-The process itself is simple, a main editing panel is flanked by two side panels, the right hand panel has three tabs, one for your iPhoto or Aperture libraries (or plain folders if you use another organizational tool), one for your music via iTunes and one for editing and adding features to each slide. The bottom panel is for organizing your photos (it looks like a more refined version of the top-panel slideshow editor in iPhoto)
-To get started all you need to do is call up your photos, drag them to bottom pane, arrange them in the order you want and start adding your titles, effects, transitions, music and more. If you're feeling lazy, just select a photo and head to Options >> Randomize Motion.
-I was able to successfully make a passable slide showing using ten images in just a few minutes. A little more time and I could have made something worth posting. 
-Adding audio is a snap, just click the audio tab and browse through your iTunes library to find the perfect background music and drag it onto your slideshow. You can then edit the audio transitions, fade from one song to another and add markers or fade music based on photo transitions, time and more.
-Once you've previewed your slideshow and are happy with the results, you can export it as a Quicktime movie, burn it to DVD or even stash it on your iPod.
-FotoMagico is a universal binary and was quite snappy on my Macbook. 
-At $79 FotoMagico isn't cheap, but if you're serious about showing off your photos to friends, the results are worth the price tag. There's also a [five day demo][2] available if you'd like to try before you buy.

-Perhaps the two greatest things about Django are its speed and the auto-generated admin interface. Since I didn't get a chance to post a tutorial yesterday, today's will be a two-parter.
-For the most part Django's speed is just there and it's lightening fast, but there are still some things you can do to improve performance. Django offers four levels of caching via what Django calls Middleware.
-Middleware is just a framework of "hooks" that tie into Django's request/response processing. In terms of speed and optimization the Middleware you'd want to look at is the [CacheMiddleware][1]. The actual cache can use any number of systems from the popular [memcached][2] to Django's own cache techniques.
-For more information have a look at the [official cache documentation][3].
-The second half of this tutorial round-up involves the Django admin interface. Whenever you create a model in Django, Django maps your model to a database and creates all the necessary tables.
-Since handling the code necessary create, read, update and delete (CRUD) functionality to get data in and out of your application is a repetitive task, Django offers an automatically generated Admin interface.
-All you need to do is enable it via your settings.py file and include the appropriate urls in the urls.py for your project. For more information and some screenshots head over to the [second tutorial on the Django site][4].
-But what if you're on a shared host with Apache 1.3 and FCGI? What if your existing shared host provider is isn't capable of a high load site written in Django? Well here's a thought from Jeff Croft -- you could [still use Django for the back-end][5].
-Croft outlines how to go about setting up all your sites CRUD functionality via Django and then use another framework or language to handle the front end display (in this case PHP).
-Combine that with Django's built in [inspectdb][6] functionality and you could even upgrade an existing project to give it a nice Django back-end.

-*	Wired's own Cult of Mac has great piece on the [litigation surrounding Apple's new iPhone][1] and some other company that also uses the name. Let's face it even if Cisco wins, iPhone will always be an Apple product in the public's mind.
-[1]: http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/2007/01/ask_an_attorney.html "Ask an Attorney: Apple and Cisco Will Share 'iPhone' "
-*	Torrentfreak has an article on the[ MPAA's fake torrent campaign][2]. "The MPAA and other anti-piracy watchdogs try to trap people into downloading fake torrents, so they can collect IP addresses, and send copyright infringement letters to ISPs. They hire a company to put up fake copies of popular movies, music albums, and TV series." According to Torrentfreak an admin at BTJunkie has figured out a way to find and block the fake torrents.

-*	There were rumors earlier this week that OLPC would be selling their budget laptops to the general public with the provision that you buy two, one of which is yours and one of which is donated to someone in need. I for one thought that was a great idea, but [according to Ars Technica][3], the rumor is untrue. However apparently it is one of the options they're considering.

-*	Cisco is [suing Apple][1] over the rights to the iPhone trademark. Apple was reportedly in talks with Cisco about the rights to the name, but never formally signed off on a deal so Cisco has filed a lawsuit.
-*	Mozilla [released][2] some semi-official plans for Firefox 3. The list of features in the linked article are broken into three categories, "mandatory," "desirable" and "nice to have." One of the most intriguing things on the list is, "save web pages as PDF files, integrated with history." Hmm. The new target release for Firefox 3 is sometime in Q3 of this year.
-*	Last year I did [an article on ReputationDefender][5] and the main thing everyone (myself included) wanted to know was how ReputationDefender went about protecting your online reputation. While company was always a bit cagey about their methods, now there's an example available. The Consumerist [received a letter][3] (possibly NSFW) from ReputationDefender requesting that a post be removed. The Consumerist has refused to comply with the request and they've posted a copy of the email they received, which is surprisingly benign. 
-*	Greg Kroah-Hartman, author of O'Reilly's *Linux Kernel in a Nutshell*, has made the book [available for free][4] in a variety of formats. Kroah-Hartman writes on the site: "The more people that try this out, and realize that there is not any real magic behind the whole Linux kernel process, the more people will be willing to jump in and help out in making the kernel the best that it can be."

Top Honors for this year go to Roxio's new Toast 8 Titanium, which we got a demo of earlier today from Adam Fingerman, Roxio's Director of Product Management.
-The new version of Toast features a long list of enhancements including TiVoToGo, Blu-ray disc burning and more. 
-Roxio scored an exclusive deal with TiVo to bring the popular TiVoToGo service to the Mac platform as part of the new Toast 8. The functionality mirrors that of TiVoToGo for Windows but wraps it up in a Mac-friendly, iTunes-like interface.
-If you'd like to cram all your *Lost* episodes on one disc, the new Toast 8 is the first burning software to support BluRay discs on the Mac.
-Wannabe DJs and even real DJs will be happy to know the Toast now supports crossfades, volume normalization and other audio niceties. 
-We'll give you the full rundown when our demo copies arrive. Until then, here's a video of the Best in show awards with Roxio and the rest of the winners.
