Many iMovie users wonder why they get black bars on the sides or above and below an image that the drop into their movie. This is caused when the picture is a different aspect ratio than the video.

Sure, there are plenty of app games that show you how to kill zombies. But what about one that gives you the task of keeping one alive. Or, undead. Or whatever zombies are. In My Pet Zombie you awaken your zombie and feed him. You can also dress him and make him dance. There are even mini games.

All Apple has said about the Release of Lion, Mac OS X 10.7, is that it will happen this month. But many rumors pin the date as early as today. Others say next week.
In addition to the new OS, there are rumors of new Macs. Most rumor sites agree that there will be new MacBook Air models soon with i3 or i5 processors and Thunderbolt ports. Some rumors also claim new Mac minis, new low-end MacBooks and new Mac Pros.
It is likely that if Apple is planning to release new Macs soon that they would wait for Lion so that the new hardware comes with Lion installed. Otherwise, buyers would need to perform a major system update just days after purchase. Apple has its quarterly earnings report due out on Tuesday and has sometimes released new Macs shortly after such reports.
