Rivers Cuomo of Weezer loves Jason Neely’s high-flying dog Sidney so much, he put the pooch on the cover of the band’s seventh album, Raditude. But the mutt’s not just photogenic, he’s communicative and tech savvy: here’s an MTV clip of Sidney interviewing Rivers using iChat on Macs. The thing is, the dog barks every single question. Do

Apple Updates iTunes to 8.1.1

Posted by Published in 000, 20, 21, Media, News, Object, Software, Support, ad, app, apple, car, db, display, ds, ea, feed, ftw, god, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, iTunes, image, itunes store, movie, movies, number, os, post, pre, price, release, rzr, software update, stand, store, stores, sync

Apple today released an update for iTunes, bringing the version number to 8.1.1. The new version (currently available from Software Update) supposedly fixes syncing issues with the iPhone and iPod touch (which I’ve been lucky enough not to encounter) and with VoiceOver, the we-don’t-need-no-stinkin’-display substitute for the iPod Shuffle. It’s also supposed to bring HD movie rental support to the media management software, though a cursory investigation by yours truly does not reveal any movies that are currently available for rent in said format, in either the Canadian or the U.S. iTunes stores. Maybe the standard $3.99 rental price now includes an HD resolution copy when available? I’m too scared to try it out, so let us know if you’re a braver soul than I.

Stanford and Apple Offering Free iPhone Development Course Through iTunes

Posted by Published in 20, 21, Apps, News, Object, Web, ad, app, apple, apple.com, art, beta, block, cost, db, developer, development, ds, ea, feed, free, god, how to, iPhone, iTunes, image, install, itunes store, ngmoco, number, os, pic, picture, post, pre, ram, stand, store, students, twitter

If you ever wanted to be an iPhone developer, but weren’t sure where to start, this might be the place. Stanford University is now offering an entire course (iTunes link) in iPhone development through Apple’s iTunes store, absolutely free. The only cost will be the $99 iPhone Development Program fee (if you aren’t already a registered developer). Plus, you don’t even have to commute to Palo Alto, Calif., which will definitely save a buck or two. The course, the first installment of which is available now, is aimed at students who already have a basic familiarity with programming languages like C+ and C++, so if you were hoping to go in blind and come out with a game in the same league as something from ngmoco, you might want to consider heading back to school for that CS degree you always regretted not getting. That said, the course might prove very beneficial if you already have some development experience but haven’t felt brave enough to venture into the realm of Cocoa Touch. The class currently available is basically just an introduction and a basic outline of the semester. During the course, students are expected to develop a number of basic apps, escalating in complexity and difficulty. Students will learn how to develop a native iPhone Twitter client, then are expected to develop their own app for the final project.

Report: Music Labels ‘Operated In Fear’ Of Apple

Posted by Published in 2008, CultOfMac, Media, Music, News, ad, ads, app, apple, ces, christmas, downloads, ds, feed, google, iPhone, iTunes, image, jobs, mac, old, pic, picture, piracy, pricing, report, rzr, sale, store, time, true, upload

In a sign of where power now rests in the music industry, music label heads “operated in fear” Apple might pull their albums from the dominant iTunes store, according to a Monday report. In a behind-the-scenes post-mortem of the recent agreement creating a multi-tiered pricing arrangement for songs sold on iTunes, Apple was able to get labels to give up their piracy fears and sell their songs through the iPhone, the New York Times reported. A breakthrough occurred after Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Sony’s chairman got into a Christmas Eve shouting match. Soon afterwards, the lone hold-out signed-onto the agreement, according to the report. Talking to anonymous music executives, the newspaper paints a picture where Apple controls the future: wireless downloads of music. While iTunes sold $1.8 billion in 2008, the amount is dwarfed by wireless sales that reached $70 billion during the same period.

1984 was around the time that Steve Jobs recruited John Scully from Pepsi (maker of Mountain Dew) by saying: “Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want a chance to change the world?”

Domination is the condition of having control or power over animals or things.

Is this a classic yet?

I recall when I first seen this. It was on DIgg, it was early in the morning, a few good months ago. I was shocked, I felt the lulz creeping inside me.
This was introduced as a new Apple ad for the iPhone and it’s amazing capabilities, but eventually (a few seconds later) turned out to [...]

Yeah, well, you see, I really don’t get this one.
Not sure if it’s a joke, or an actual Apple ad for a brand new Mac Photoshop thingie.
I still like it tough, It’s good enough to be posted, sent, re-sent, LOLed at, and being misunderstood over and over and over. Some one out there did a [...]
