- The inside story on Apple Genius training
Filed under: Retail, Cult of Mac, Apple
As we all well know, Apple tends to be a rather secretive company and this extends to their retail operation procedures, etc. Nonetheless, many of us have wondered what it takes to become an Apple Genius, those black-shirted folks manning the Apple Store's most distinctive feature. Well, Apple employees are not supposed to talk, but one former Genius and one current Genius speaking anonymously have let MacLife pull the curtain back a bit for a look at what it takes to be a Apple Genius.
To get your foot in the door you have to pass a test on diagnosing Mac problems, then if selected you're sent to Cupertino for two weeks of training in route to gaining three Apple certifications. Then comes some "real-world" training at Apple Retail headquarters, before finally ending with some on-the-job training at an actual retail Store locations. If you've ever been curious about how Apple makes their Genius quota, MacLife's look is worth a read.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/02/the-inside-story-on-apple-genius-training/#comments - Photoshop CS3 plugin for Google 3D Warehouse
Filed under: Software, Odds and ends, Internet Tools
The Google 3D Warehouse is an online repository for both Google and user-contributed 3D objects for use in Google SketchUp, Google Earth as well as some other 3rd party applications. Now Adobe Labs has released a plugin for Photoshop CS3 Extended which "enables you to search and download 3D models from Google 3D Warehouse directly from Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended." With Adobe working on making Photoshop CS3 Extended into much more of a 3D tool, this is a nice way to collect some 3D objects to work on.
The plugin itself is a free download, but requires Photoshop CS3 Extended.
