  • F) Movie trailers off Apple's own site G) Stevenotes
  • That's no woman, that is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. click here for iTunes I am planning to purchase this from iTMS, so I was happily surprised when it was shown in the Keynote. There was another version online that also contained another song in …
  • Yeah, come on. The least they could do is put it on public access. Everyone should be fortunate enough to see the almighty Steve speak.
  • Oh great, if this is true, then this sucks. I rescheduled my dentist appointment to watch this (don't know what I was thinking when I scheduled it, I must not have known when it was at that point)! I always love watching the Keynotes live because I …
  • dfiler is right, I read this and thought back to that. I think it was designed for a laptop, so that when you drop it, the laptop parks the head of the hard drive. It seems more useful on a laptop anyway, since they're almost always spinning, while …
  • My brother claims that his dropped like 12-15 feet onto a basketball court. He was at an assembly at school when it fell off his lap through a crack. I don't know if it hit beams on the way down or what, but it still works. He didn't tell me until r…
  • Ooo, just noticed I got 10 more invites. If anyone wants one just send me an e-mail at [email protected]. I wonder how many that is now... probably almost 70 or more. Andrew
  • I have a picture of the entrance to Apple's building (including the 1 Infinite Loop sign) on my website at a resolution higher than the 30" Cinema Display. I was testing the display out at the Apple Store by browsing my website and looking at some o…

  • Okay, I've got a lot of things to say from different parts of this thread, so I'll try to remember it all. First of all, it seems like a lot of people I know are switching to Macs. A few years ago I noticed that many of the tech people I knew (th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Beige_G3 I'm not sure what the deal is with the Apple Store . My mother went to buy a G5 iMac a few weeks ago at the ApSt in oak Brook Illinois. She wanted more RAM. They told her that she should order it herself a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Smircle This is all nice and dandy, but in other areas, Apple has been much more radical. Want to buy an iPod to work with that Win98? Tough luck, only 2K and XP. Most likely there are still mp3-players working with RS…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tonton The biggest problem regarding resolution independence and OS X is that OS X doesn't have a resolution independent cursor or title bar. Those are the "big" things. Then there are all the little things, like the t…
  • Greetings. Today I went to the new Southcenter Apple Store mini. It wasn't advertised much (and it is a small store), so not many people where there. I got in pretty quickly. I watched someone check out using the new system and it is /slow/. First o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by s_sarinana I wonder what comes next after 100,000,000 songs! Why... 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) of course! I wonder how long that will take. Does anyone know if these numbers include iTMS Europe? Andrew
  • Yayy!!!! It happened. Unfortunately I was still updating my credit card info when I checked the Apple website. I thought it updated sooner than every 8000 songs... maybe there was a huge buying spree.
  • I was reading about this a while back. I didn't realize there were any implementations available yet (well, besides the reference one). The comparison to MPEG-4 is amazing. However, the review I saw (using the unoptimized reference encoder/decoder) …
  • Thanks, Dell, for keeping advertising honest. The very same Dell that made a comparison using music encoded at 64 kbps for the Dell DJ and 128 kbps for the iPod, just to make it look like the DJ held twice as many songs (even though they had the sam…
  • Quote: It is so impressive in 1080i (non-compressed / off-the-air) that DVDs are now blurry to my eyes. Umm, I am not sure what you mean, but I am 98% sure that HDTV is compressed. This really becomes noticable if you are watching a broadcast t…
  • Yeah, I've got HDTV. I can barely spit it out based on my bad experience with it (well, with Comcast). We got out set over 3 years ago now. We got over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (aka, an antenna) 1.5 or 2.5 years ago (can't remember). Unfortunately…
