Back in '84 the recording choices were Beta or VHS... :eek:
That would be the source, unfortunately.... ;)
I guess is someone had a Beta Hi-Fi copy on a High Grade Tape with great reception, then you can capture it but need to use some sort of TBC with it.

It sounds like they are being proactive and making some changes before they really start to fall.

Thanks for the help in understanding the Sum of a cube and the push in the right direction. I will start on it tomorrow night.
This is the first assignment that I have to produce my own Top Down Design. The projects before this He would do them on the board and we would copy them down. I'll have to go over my notes on the last projects to get a better handle on it.
Thanks Guys!

Justification for DRM
I understand the need for DRM. Apple would never be able to sell us all that great music without the DRM. I have no problem with the DRM. I think it's fair. If I were an artist, I wouldn't want to make it so easy for people to freely distribute my music royalty-free. If a million people like my song enough to own a copy, then I should see a million payments on it. That's fair.
Not as good for Apple as it would seem
A long time ago, Jobs stated that the goal of the iTunes Music Store wasn't to turn a profit, but to market iPods. By providing a easy-to-use, cheap, legal way to sell iPod-compatible music, Apple is able to sell more iPods. It has clearly worked like a charm.
So you're asking "well, if other websites can sell iTunes-compatible DRM protected music, it will sell more iPods too, right?" Well technically yes; You're right. But let me ask you this; what separated the Apple User Experience from most? What sets Mac OS X apart from other OS's, or the iPod apart from other MP3 Players? What makes the iTunes Store so much more popular than any other online music service?
The answer: Approachability. A quick learning curve, ease of use, simplicity, elegance, suave, charm, style. Apple's core marketing gimmick, the reason Apple is still around today, the reason the Apple experience is unique is because Apple maintains strict control over their user's experience, and they make the experience as pleasant as possible. Forr example, it's one of the specific reasons Jobs cited for killing off the Apple-licensed clone machines (back in the day).
Now, we all know Real. I don't know many people who can honestly tell me that they've had an overall easy or pleasant experience with Real. Their software media player is nearly a trojan horse, their tech support is abysmal, their website is obnoxiously hideous, etc. And they're one of the better alternatives. If vendors other than Apple have the ability to peddle DRM-protected music for the iPod, then Apple loses a bit of control over the iPod User Experience.
It might get ugly
Suddenly vendors start changing the rules, right under Apple's nose. Instead of the simple .99 pricing, maybe it's tiered pricing, arbitrarily set up by the folks in charge to make an extra buck, but it confuses/aggrivates the end-user. (and maybe record labels like the better bottom-line & start selling exclusively with Vendor B rather than Apple, thus the Music Store loses marketability). There's no quality-control. Vendors can start ripping less-than perfect copies of the music (or worse, music laced with ads!), market it as "ipod compatible" unsuspecting users buy it & the iPod experience diminishes. In short, Apple loses control.
I've been an Apple user since childhood. I've followed the company closely. I can tell you one thing with certainty. They do not like to lose control of their end-user experience.
DVD Jon may think he's doing us all a favor, and maybe in a shortsighted way he is, but ultimately he's spoiling Apple's marketing strategy & thus risking the iPod's position as the top MP3 Player in market share. The DRM isn't his to license. Hopefully his scheme will be fruitless.

Is there a website where I can go and download (for free) all of the commercials that Apple has ever had? I remember a cool iPhoto commercial with a newborn baby in the hospital, and his/her dad was taking pictures of him/her and using iPhoto to create a slideshow or something...Anyways, is there such a site? Thanks in advance.

Well, it looks like there will be alot of new features and devices soon from apple.
lets hope apple keeps up the good work, advancements in technology, software and hardware will continue making users lifes easier.
things like smart device/cell phones, itv media center hubs (also HDTV including Blu-Ray), continuing development of more software and making apple an all media type system where all aspects can work seamlessly.
looking forward to the new stuff apple comes with.

Coleman,
I appreciate the time and effort you put in to get this document together. Now I need to figure out a workable solution in windows.

Yeah, try repairing permissions. Or take a look at the downloads folder and see what the permissions and privelages are for that folder. The owner of the folder you download to should be you.
Way to go convincing your friends to switch though! :D

And I'll tell you what I've told everybody else. I had verizon for years. No dropped calls and signal in locations other carriers had none. I got the iphone in November on ATT. Weaker signal. Not only my phone, but in my office, my home and family's homes, non-iphones on ATT have worse signal.
If you are in the heart of a city and not in a particular building, then ATT is just fine. But go to certain areas in rural america and Verizon is much better.
So for my experience ATT is the problem.
definitely agree that verizon has a better network than att in rural areas.

it's great for 'sketching'. a lot of pro musicians admit to using it as a recording studio on the go. but for serious production, its limitations become evident once you start mixing down your work. i'm not sure about GB 9, but I think GB tops out at (a mixdown aiff file) 24 bit /44khz audio.

I would not say the iPad stinks as an ereader, but the kindle is certainly better for reading books. I have read 15 to 20 full length books on my iPad, about the same on my phone, and hundreds on my kindle.
I travel a lot , so since I got my iPad, I do not bring the kindle (I have a DX). I am actually considering buying a little one just for novels, I got the DX for PDFs, a function the iPAD is 1000000 times better suited for.
All three devices are better than a PC for reading books. The order is clearly Kindle, iPad, iPhone.
You're right..."stinks" is a bad choice of words....but clearly the iPad is nowhere near the same ballpark of a reading experience when it comes to reading books...sitting in front of the screen for 1-3 hours at a time.
Reading restaurant menus as PDFs or emails or blogs or websites...the iPad is great and definitely better than the Kindle...the Kindle needs to either put a 10000x better web browser on the product or kill it...it's terrible...especially just typing in a URL. Keyboard could use a major overhaul, too.

My zoogue came in the mail yesterday. Just from holding it, it seems it is about the same weight as the iPad. Good quality all around.
The only complaint I have is that the cover is not held together by magnets. Meaning when I close it, it puts the iPad asleep, but if something bumps it and it moves 15 deg. or so and the iPad wakes up. Little magnets would prevent this.
This complaint is a very small one. Just make sure when you sit it down that it is closed properly.

I have often done this with wget (http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/wget.html), which is free/GPL, and that is also what Deep Vacuum seems to be doing, it just gives you a GUI on top of wget.

Thank you very much! I hope this runs on 10.6 as well. Well, lets see. :D
yea goodluck
let me know if you have any problems.
and as for CandyBar you can do all that on your own if you know what your doing. Also check out a piece of software called LiteIcon (http://www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon/). not as powerful as CandyBar but it's free!!

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 isn't new, EXIF has location tags for a while; but most of the existing solutions only record location and altitude, not azimuth. I think I've written here before explaining that if only a camera included azimuth tags (and of course the already-recorded zoom and lens size tags) a company like Google could harvest the web for images and build a virtual world with QuickTime-VR like technology that would allow one to virtually visit and travel through anywhere on earth, if somebody had taken of a picture of the right spot. You have issues of lighting, seasons, etc, but if people set their cameras' clocks this can be handled too. Actually if you have GPS the clock can be set from the GPS signal, so that's better too.
