The DiscCloud Social Network (http://www.disccloud.com) has announced the release of “Flurry”, the desktop cloud infrastructure for Mac OS X. DiscCloud’s Mac desktop cloud offers Mac users access to their desktop from any Mac device on the network.

DiscCloud Flurry extends enterprise class business continuity to the Mac platform via VMware infrastructure, according to the folks at DiscCloud. Flurry is built on VMware and works as a plug-in into the VMware infrastructure. VMware service provider partners can deploy the cloud for Mac OS X 10.5 and higher.

CrumplePop (http://www.crumplepop.com) has announced Flipper, an US$69 effect for Final Cut Pro that lets editors create the “flipover” effect used in countless broadcast ad spots and television programs. It works right on the Final Cut Pro timeline, without requiring a trip to another application.

With Flipper, you can flip logos, text, photos, and video clips, all with a simple drag and drop operation. Flipper is based on Apple’s Master Template architecture, so editors can use Flipper right inside of Final Cut Pro.
