In the file menu, I now have an option (greyed out) for Transfer purchases from iPod...not sure what that means given you can't currently buy stuff direct from your iPod...and pretty sure it wasn't there in Itunes 6...sounds intriguing though!
Also - there a custom option for encoding rates from CD that takes you up to 320 kbps for AAC - can't remember that either in the previous version...
This transfers music that you purchase on one computer to another computer. In order for it to work, you must have an iPod which has sync'd with a computer with bought songs, and attach it to a second computer which is authorized to play those songs.
My question is this: the keynote treated this like a true 'sync', but it sure doesn't look that way. Does it do more than a 1-way copy? And, does it only (as the menu item suggests) work on iTMS purchased tracks, not ripped CDs?
This feature really sounded nice to me, letting me get rid of the nice but sometime buggy Senuti. But, maybe not.

This would be stealing, as my contract obliges me to continue paying for the cost of the hardware, which really isn't paid for, when I first get the phone. I agree with the others however, that AT&T should unlock the phone, once the contract is up, or that Apple should offer an unlocked phone, albeit at a higher price. I am thinking of expat pilots who live in the UAE flying for an international carrier for 20 days and then get to come back stateside for 10. They really need a solution like that. The next thing that AT&T should do, then, is have a different pricing structure for those with legitimately unlocked phones. After all, that phone didn't cost AT&T a dime.

Damn. Exactly what I was going to say... down to the letter. So I shall repeat with different words to those listening:
Apple makes pennies on the iTMusicS (the story might be different for shows and games). Some people want to own an iPod, but don't want to pay iTS store prices or use their $0.99/song, end of story, model. Solution: buy mp3, d/l mp3 illegally, buy FairPlay elsewhere. With exception of Real Harmony, the last option has not existed.
Where Apple makes the money is iPod sales. HUGE money. However, Apple can't promote the three aforementioned options outright, not when it has the largest FairPlay (and altogether) legal music d/l store on the 'net. So the only thing they can do is not dissuade people from using the other options... forcefully, at least. All I remember Apple saying about Real Harmony was "they're hackers with questionable methods," or something like that.
As Mr. Green said, the only risk I would see is if others tried to make a FairPlay compatible "mp3" player. I wouldn't see it going places unless sync'd with iTunes or a different phenominal jukebox. Thus, Apple likely writes that possibility off as someone else "pulling a Zune."
hehe. We don't even know how the zune will do in reality but we love to pick on it here. I must be on a Mac Forum. :p
-Clive
Wow! "Does not make more than a few pennies." I do not think either of you appreciate the power of small numbers, when multiplied by millions of transactions and time. Soap companies have understood this for several hundred years, clearly Apple understands it as well. The individual unit profit on iPods is clearly higher, but each iPod sold acts as a multiplier of where the real money is made. What a dream to earn just one half of one cent of every iTunes purchase. If globally they sell a million songs a day, I'd receive $5k a day or $1,825,000 a year.

I thought the Klipsch S4 were too muddy and the RE0 had good clarity but not enough bass. I've tried about 10 IEM's and the Klipsch X5 is my favorite. It's got 90% of the clarity of the RE0, it has nice punchy bass, and is not muddy like the S4.

If you look closely, Anandtech refers to a MacRumors thread that we started here 2 months ago. That said, the Samsung drive does appear to be a nice silent upgrade for those lucky enough to get it.

Protein: p1155_L939_K12M_298K_DT_250ps_clones
Run: 46 (Clone 203, Gen 0)
Frames Completed: 0, Remaining: 400
Dynamic steps required: 5000000
This work unit was choking the PowerMac G4, which was doing one frame per hour. It would take the Mac seventeen days to finish the unit. How does a G4 user tell the Folding server to not send TINKER units to G4 CPUs? Waiting three weeks for a result, when an x86 system could have the unit done in a few days, is inefficient.
"Seventeen days? Hey, man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours. Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before, and they're gonna come in here and they're gonna come in here and they're gonna kill us!" -Private Hudson
My computer was being VERY slow for a few frames one time. To the point where it said the WU would be done in APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. But after a day or two it went down to a reasonable time.

If I may, I'll add my question in here.
I've just had an awful time trying to put on the Cygnett OpticClear screen protector.
I cleaned everything down got started and somehow managed to attract some specks of dust. I did the tape thing, but ended up making more of a mess of things, and adding more specks to the screen :( - I had a similar nightmare putting the screen protector on my original iPad, but it worked out okay in the end.
I've ended up trying several times, but just can't get it to apply without problems, so I finally tried to clean the back with water. This seemed to get the little specks, so I tried to do an install while it was still wettish and just can't seem to get that right either. I think I may have screwed it up altogether, and will just go without the protector this time, (even though it cost me for this one.)
Any tricks? or is it just a case of too much dust floating around? (I promise the room isn't covered in dust, btw!) :rolleyes:
thanks

This has got to be a decoy patent. Because if it's not:
(1) How do you design a case to protect it while exposing the bezel 360 degrees around so you can touch it? No coverage in front? Actually, a case couldn't even have a lip to hold it on because your finger would have to get in there to press upon the bezel.
(2) How do you realistically even pick it up or move it if pushing the bezel on nearly any side activates these programmed dynamic buttons? You'd have to Lock it every time you want to touch the thing so you don't activate some function.
This would be a terrible form-does-not-follow-function idea.
Your comments don't take into account that Apple is also going to design in the ultimate intuitive interface. The device will KNOW what you mean for it to do when you touch it. It will intuit just like a thermos KNOWS whether to keep the hot things hot and the cold things cold and is ultimately simple.

My colleague has one and I have to say that I am impressed by the Zune. It's as good, if not better than any portable media player on the market and I loved the brown shell. The problem is that Microsoft doesn't know how to play from behind the competition, especially with a device that only serves one purpose and can't really be improved enough to catch people's attention. It was a silly decision to jump in the market so late in the game. Apple's market share in this sector was insurmountable.

Ummm...entertain me. Why do you think they're a rip off? (Keep in mind that "big" is a relative term. What do you consider a "big screen" TV? Thirty-two inches and up?)
-Squire
Spending above £1000 on a tv which might be 'HD ready', and then finding out that the large majority of stuff on tv looks crap on it, because the content isn't in HD, to my mind makes it a rip off. I'm not sure how entertaining that answer is. 36 inch and above on a tv is is what I call a big screen.
My 'normal' bog standard, run of the mill, crt (remember those) tv still makes tv look good, dvd's look better, and cost less than an arm or a leg on the black market organ exchange.

At the very least, resolution independence is no worse than changing the display resolution. If you change the display resolution, the monitor is simply doing scaling automatically to match it to the native resolution. However, it's scaling the entire screen as a single bitmap. This is why the screen looks blurry if you run at anything but the native resolution. (Note: This is with LCDs.)
With resolution indepence, at worst you do the same type of scaling in the OS. However in this case, the scaling algorithm affects only one app, the algorithm can be updated, and it can be better than the one used by the monitor.
And now they won't have to.
I guess we'll agree to disagree, and wait to find out. We already know that Apple knows that scaling things up will result in a loss of quality, or else they wouldn't be rebuilding all their graphics.

I am part of a none profit organization and we want to send out an eNews Letter to people interested with our group. I'm in charge of getting this thing off the ground but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. What I want to do is send out an email with nice graphics, pictures, links, and so on and so forth; pretty much like the regular printed kind of news letter but through email. I guess a good example of the kind of news letter I'm talking about would be the ones Apple sends out. What do I need in order to do something like that? :confused:

I never had OS9, but I think I heard some of this sound in other places.
In example, the "Quack" one sound me so familiar..., maybe there is a similar sound in Win 95 / 98?
Over the years I've heard a lot of MacOS alert sounds used in TV & radio commercials, I guess because creative types were using Macs. Perhaps that's why. :)

So I've been thinking about the Apple TV and what it could mean for console gaming should Apple release the App Store on this device.
Apple TV
$99
Internet connected
No subscription fee
Upcoming.. App Store
This could be the perfect trojan device for Apple to enter, and potentially disrupt, the console gaming market. In particular, it could overtake the downloadable stores of the console makers such as XBLA, PSN and WiiWare.
The device is cheaper and more accessible than any of the consoles, games would be cheap, there is brand recognition of Apple as well as established games such as Angry Birds and there are tonnes of controllers out there in iPhones and iPod touches.
Do you think Apple could really disrupt this market should it release an App Store for the Apple TV?

Actually, the big display prices *must* come down soon, because regular 32" tv can be bought for 500 euros nowadays. A display which has HDMI input, which means it can be connected to a DVI computer card rather easily.
Now I don't mean to say that a regular 32" TV that costs 500 would compete with a 30" ACD in terms of colour accuracy or top resolution, but I'm saying if someone wants a big display it can be done for peanuts. And as people discover this they're not going to buy "overpriced" computer displays that are meant for one purpose only.
Yeh sure, if you want a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 on your 50" tv. Sweet. You show me any TV that does 2500x1600.
