So Apple released a bunch of new stuff today (read most of it at http://apple.com/hotnews), but of most interest to me is iTunes 8, and more specifically, the Genius mode.
The Genius is supposed to investigate the information in your library (playlists, track played counts, ratings, etc), upload it to the ‘Genius in the iTunes Store’ [...]

I gotta say, the process of upgrading from an iPhone to an iPhone 3g is way too easy for it’s own good.
Even let me chill out in the store, activate it using my Mac as opposed to the store’s Mac, and restored all my old data. And for the locations with 3G, the speed difference [...]

Quite simply, Microsoft is trying to buy out the internet search market to beat up on Google. Collusion of #2 and #3 in the search market may provide some more amicable competition, but Microsoft is just going to shove Yahoo’s services down our throats like Windows Messenger, Windows Live, Windows Desktop Search, etc. Imagine your [...]

While for a different motivation than Apple’s iPhone Credit, Nintendo is giving away anti-slip rubber jackets for any new Wiimotes. This will hopefully prevent certain remote-slipping-related problems and reduce the sweaty feeling one gets after gripping the Wiimote for a long time (I can personally attest to this effect, especially with WarioWare and Wii Boxing).
Those [...]

Yesterday was undeniably a big day for Apple, Inc. After changing their name from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple, Inc., as their focus had shifted from the Macintosh to their consumer electronics department, Apple has truly outdone itself with the iPhone, on track to sell it’s millionth unit at the end of this month, consistently [...]

(Note for pretty much everyone: 5F is 95 in Hexadecimal.)
Well, today, the revolution of the tech-masses has begun. Digg, a user-powered news site where people submit stories and vote stories up so that others may see them, made an unwise decision by silently removing a news story about the HD-DVD Key Crack (the decryption key [...]

I’m just quickly posting to tell you all about this cool iTunes Plugin: iConcertCal. After installing it (and restarting iTunes), you can go to the visualizer and check out all the concerts in your area from bands that are in your music library!
I just used it to find a Killswitch Engage/Dragonforce concert on the 20th [...]

This is a very geeky post, but very interesting to me, and I thought I’d share my opinions…
OK, so some of you have heard me prattle on to no end about ‘virtualization’, or basically running one computer inside another.
Some reading for the interested:

Anyway… the only real issue with running multiple computers inside one big computer [...]

Hello everyone, I know this isn’t exactly a particularly thoughtful post, but for those of you who use iTunes for your music (and movie) collections, this may be interesting to note. So today (Sept 12th), Apple released a slew of iPod-related things.
The new iPod nano has doubled in capactiy (all three sizes) from 1,2, [...]

YouTube - Jon Stewart on Net Neutrality
All joking aside, it’s kinda sad knowing that Ted Stevens, chairman of the Commerce Committee (the committee that the net neutrality bill goes through) has very little understanding of how the internet works. I’m sure you all can guess my stance on net neutrality, but the problem is we [...]
