[edit] Removal of "unprecedented" line

I removed the sentence "A PC publication reviewing software for the Macintosh was unprecedented." If true (which is highly doubtful), this statement needs some sort of reference. It implies that there is a perfect separation between Mac and "PC" magazines, which is not the case now, and was certainly not the case before the 90's (e.g. Byte). I left for someone else to decide whether the preceding sentence belongs (about the praise for iMovie being "so widespread"). It's almost as hyperbolic and seems to lack NPOV.emw 15:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

• Isn't this just an ad for Apple? There's certainly no NPOV here.
  • I wouldn't say that. Perhaps a section should be added on its shortcomings, but it seems pretty good overall to me Alex 06:10, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
    • IT's not a software review, so pro's and con's aren't appropriate. The article should merely describe the software from NPOV.emw 15:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncited Paragraph

I have removed this paragraph from the article, orginally added here.

iMovie 1.0 marked an important change in Apple software that remains in effect to this day. iMovie 1.0 included credits of its creators, as did most of Apple's software up to that time, but head hunters calling into Apple requesting to speak with these employees sparked Steve Jobs to eliminate all credits from Apple software products; a practice he carried over from his days at Atari.

This is uncited, and a (quick) search of Google didn't turn up any info on this -- the Mac rumor mill being what it is, I'd expect this to be easy to find if true. Also, the idea that Steve Jobs worked at Atari at any point is doubtful. I'm going to leave this here, though, to be restored to the article if someone can cite it. -- jhf 09:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Whilst I agree with you moving this piece of gossip to the talk page, Jobs did work at Atari, please check his biography on wikipedia-- timdew (^Talk) 15:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
