Free VisualHub updater for Lion by Techspansion

A strange chapter in the history of Techspansion’s long-ago-retired video conversion tool VisualHub is now drawing to a close with the release of a free update straight from the developer.Earlier in August, payment processor Kagi began selling a $5 VisualHub update that added Lion compatibility and upgraded the ffmpeg converter at the core of VisualHub’s functionality. That $5 updater used scripts from Techspansion’s sole proprietor Tyler Loch, which he’d made freely available at his website—and which he hadn’t given Kagi permission to resell. Kagi emailed Techspansion customers to promote the updater, though the company had never spoken to Loch about selling the patch.

Just one day after the initial story broke, Kagi announced that it was ceasing sales of its Visual Hub updater; Kagi CEO Kee Nethery told Macworld that Techspansion would be producing its own free VisualHub updater, which would be available to customers by mid-September. Don’t adjust your calendars, but it appears that, as far as VisualHub is concerned, September is now.

In an email to Macworld early Monday morning, Loch wrote: “I’m happy to put Techspansion to rest. Again.” Updates for VisualHub (and its sibling AudioHub) are available at Techspansion’s website. On the site, Loch writes:These one-step updaters will fix a show-stopper bug preventing proper operation in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. It’s been nearly three years since Techspansion closed and these programs were last maintained. VisualHub and AudialHub are no longer supported. And they won’t last forever.Whatever breaks from here on out will be the end, sadly. I hope this update squeezes a little more life out of these two apps for you.

Apple's A6 chip will boost speed and battery life


Apple's next iPad will be faster and more power-efficient thanks to its new, quad-core A6 processor, but the new tablet may not be ready to ship until next June, an industry analyst said Monday.The A6 will succeed the dual-core A5 processor used in Apple's iPad 2, said Linley Gwennap, founder and principal analyst at The Linley Group. The A6 will likely be made by chip foundry company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), Gwennap said, citing multiple sources. The A5 is manufactured by Samsung, and Apple is embroiled in a legal dispute with that company.
The manufacturing schedule for the A6 suggests it won't be in production until the second quarter next year, which means the next iPad might not appear until June, Gwennap said.The A6 should bring more performance to Apple devices while preserving battery life. Many of the improvements will come from TSMC's 28-nanometer manufacturing process, Gwennap said. The process will shrink the circuitry compared to the A5, which is manufactured on a 40 nanometer process, making the A6 smaller and faster.

"The tablet guys are excited to offer more performance with the same battery life," Gwennap said.Smartphones with dual-core processors are already being released, and some analysts predict that the iPhone 5, expected later this year, will be powered by the dual-core A5 processor.The A6 will square off against quad-core mobile processors from Texas Instruments, Nvidia and Qualcomm. Nvidia's quad-core Tegra processor, code-named Kal El, will appear in devices by the end of this year, Nvidia has said.

The A6 will likely be based on ARM's Cortex-A9 processor, which is the same design used in the A5. ARM has announced an upcoming Cortex-A15 processor, but the first devices based on that design won't ship until late next year or early 2013, Gwennap said.
