They did it. Apple sold 100 million songs via the iTunes Music store. It’s neat to see all the songs that ppl d/l’d to help them win iPods. I have to say though… It’s nice to see that a song with a little class was the winning track. And does anyone else find it appropriately […]
Still more on this issue with iTunes… This time zero’ing in on — SURPRISE!! — not the network but something about that particular version iTunes (4.6.0.15). Observed last night that not only can the iTunes library on Detonator-3 not get shared to the other clients, it can’t seem to connect to the iTunes Music Store. […]
Following up on my post from 7-11 about the woes of iTunes sharing over the home LAN… First off, I have not changed the configuration of said LAN. I’m convinced that I’ve got this “right” and that there’s just some minor point that I’ve overlooked. Or else some overzealous default security settings…? I’m leaning toward […]
Meditating here on trying to finish up this network set up esp. w/r/t/ getting the wired and wireless networks properly bridged. I’d tried a couple of configurations and have ultimately decided on the below: According to my sources (chiefly, Apple’s …for OS X (PDF) and …for Windows (PDF) Airport network design manuals), the above is […]
To follow up on my Konfabulator post from late May… And while I’m a little late on this: Daring Fireball’s ‘Dashboard vs. Konfabulator’. As I said before, I liked the idea behind Konfabulator but I had a few issues with it. I liked how the widgets looked. I didn’t like how cluttered they seemed to […]
Neat article on Wired about Gracenote. My favorite part: ‘If every user of an iPod had to take their CD collection and hand-type everything in, how many iPods would really get sold?’ said Gracenote CEO Craig Palmer. ‘If they couldn’t do that, then how big would this market actually be?’ While I must admit that […]
PCMCIA card adapter that plugs in via Firewire. (Instead of these that we have seen simply quite enough of…) Firewire based 802.11g adapter for the older iBooks. Similar to the Netgear MA111 USB adapter. But G. And Firewire. Tabber browser (or browser plug-in) that reminds me of the referrer of a given page that has […]
Brief follow-up to one of my own self’s articles… My rambling/musing on Apple’s new Airport Express… So one of the salient features that stuck out to me about the Airport Express was the fact that it could pull double duty as a wi-fi enabled print server. I was stoked about that. It’s whole host of […]
Maybe it’s silly… But I think it’s fucking great that Apple has the “iCon” project linked on their iPod product page. We the f00kin’ people…
Apple may have done it again with AirPort Express… Not sure how I feel about this innovation yet. It seems neat. Versatile. Sleek and chic. But is it too much packed in to too little at too high a price? Or maybe that’s just it. Maybe it really is “all that and more” and I’m […]
