It’s a 49 minutes long video, but if you love Steve Jobs and what he has done for Apple, you’ll love every second of this.

Through interviews with friends, former colleagues and business associates, GAME CHANGERS reveals the many layers of the intensely private Steve Jobs and how he revolutionizes the computer industry, all the way from when he first started in the garage with Steve Wozniak, to the Apple that we are familiar with today.

Interviews include Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former Apple CEO John Scully, journalist turned Venture Capitalist Michael Moritz, Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, former Apple “Mac Evangelist” and Silicon Valley Entrepreneur, Guy Kawasaki and Robert X.Cringely, technology journalist and former Apple employee.

I have the privilege to demo Permute, currently unreleased, an app for converting between a huge list of media types.

Permute, by Fuel Collective, are also the makers of other extremely well designed Mac apps like Snippet, Swatch and PunchClock.

Permute is a media conversion application that converts videos to other video format like AppleTV, iPhone, iPod Touch, FLV, PS3, XBox, MP4, DVD etc. Not only that, it will also convert the resulting video into the correct aspect ratio of the resulting format.

I have a similar app that I bought last year, Xilisoft Video Converter, that does the same thing and I never thought the same app can be re-designed to be so much easier to use, not until Permute came along.

User Interface

I’m sure you will agree with me how easy it is to use this app when you look at this user interface the moment you launch the app. Start dropping your video files to convert!

Drag & Drop

You can drop one, two or any number of files into the drop zone. This is the screen you will see next after dropping. From the drop down menu, choose a format you want to convert to.

List Of Formats

There is a huge list of formats you can convert your video to. Converting a video to an audio file is also possible. I find this very useful for me. Recently I’ve been to YouTube to search for Andrew Garcia’s acoustic covers (yes I support him on American Idol!), downloaded and converted the YouTube FLVs to audio formats so that I can listen to it on my iTunes.

Had I known this app earlier, I would have used it to do the same. I’m sure there will be opportunities for the same kind of task in future. :)

As you can see there is a pretty good list of formats, kudos to the developers for the amount of work done for this.

Settings

There are some very thoughtful settings like putting to your Mac to sleep after conversion. Meaning you can go to sleep resting assured that you’ll save some electricity.

You can also convert .dvdmedia / VIDEO_TS folders to ISO’s for better compatibility with media center software.

The individual settings for the different formats can also be tuned. How flexible!

Conclusion

What can I say? Fuel Collective has done it again.

The developers have released the last built before the official release, so lookout! Follow @FuelCollective for updates!

Working as a web, graphic designer for several years, I’ve designed quite a number of artworks for magazines, exhibitions, festivals or even just some personal experiments. Not wanting them to sit on my Mac collecting dust, I thought I would just turn a couple of selected ones into iPhone wallpapers and share it with everyone.

The following wallpapers are not water marked (I’m not sure about you but I hate watermarked wallpapers!), so feel free to download them individually or as a complete set. :)

Let me know if you’ve used it, any comments are welcome!
