I seriously don't know how I lived without Mozilla's tabs -- multiple windows now seem so clunky & neanderthal to me

I think its a reflection of real life. My space is as messy on screen as in real life.

better living through open source browsers?

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Safari is mostly open source. They published the tweaks they made to the KHTML engine back to the open source community. I guess the quartz bits are still under wraps but surely they could be worked out from the quartz API. I would like to see apple do the same thing with OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice runs really well under XDarwin through OroborOSX or the new X11 from apple (with quartz window manager), but it looks so ugly and I'd like the UI to be a bit more mac and a bit less unix. It would be better if it were fully cocoa and not just Darwin, (a cocoa version is being worked on according to the site)

If apple are going to take on microsoft, as they may well do if they are forced to move to intel chips. Apple seam to have got the open source thing down and so far seam to be working well with the open source community which can only be a good thing.

There's an update to safari just been posted on Apple's site. I'm not sure what it fixes, it certainly doesn't change how it works with ile.

economical use of monitor real estate.

Ech! Is that a real piece of jargon?

i just got an ipod today!! whooo, no more lugging mp3 cds on trips!

― lyra (lyra), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 01:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tom, 970 is not going to be that much of a step up and not shipping for at least 9 months, probably longer for laptops.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 09:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

one month passes...

I'd just like to announce that I am coming to you through the medium of a new MP G4, the one with shiny chrome bits and 4 intake holes on the front.
Looks lovely next to the 23" Studio display and Soundsticks.

That is all.

Hmmm... what are you wearing...

Oops, wrong thread.

New and improved Safari with tabs and auto-complete.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 14 April 2003 13:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ooo, autocomplete... just the feature I've been waiting for!

New iPods, 10Gb 15Gb 30Fb, with USB 2.0 and firewire and a docking station. No sound in grrrr.

also Apple music download service

- $0.99 per song
- Can use your music for iPhoto etc...
- If you buy a new Mac, you need to deauthorize one and reauthorize another
- Play your music on up to 3 Macs.
- Put your music on an unlimited # of iPods
- Playlist must be modified for every 10 burns.
- 200,000 tracks, unlimited CD burn for personal use.
- Previews
- 128 kpbs AAC quality, every song

Question is would you use it. Its pretty open although you'relimited to burning out an album as the people intended 10 times, which is pretty generous. How many independents are going to sign up though?

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also there is now no differentiation between windows and Mac versions of the IPod.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

A + B + C = half the price, with recording capabilities to boot!

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 28 April 2003 16:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes but Mark they aren't Apple products. See thread title. You might as well tell a thirty-year Harley rider to check our your new Gold Wing.

Well the iTunes music store isn't UK friendly yet. Browsing through it it keeps giving me errors, not a good start. Conceivably I could use it for jazz stuff but I would guess that the obscurer regions of the back catalogues will not be up there.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

The top song and album downloads lists might conceivablky give and indication of how awful apple employee's music taste is. The top 3 tunes are U2 and there's a lot of sheryl crow too.

First impressions, it isn't great.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

New ipods, tho'! ohmygodohmygodohmygod

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 17:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

any info re: the onboard playlist function? i am thinking it's part of the new software and hoping the old ipods will gain this function with the 1.3 upgrade (?)

― ron (ron), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

There is a 1.3 update availible from software update, mac, or download from the site, PC.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

apparently they are uploading more tunes as fast as they can get permission etc. I hope some indies sign on. Frankly I don't give a shit what the top ten are for the first month or so, because as long as some people out there find what they want and make it a profitable business model, that means it has more of a chance of becoming something I'm going to want to use. 128k AAC is something I sort of worry about, but it's not as if I'm going to be downloading audiophile film scores either. I'm very very excited.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

If it works well this will solve most of my hip-hop problems once and for all e.g. rap seems to have one of the worst s/n ratios on album content and they don't put out any good compilations - now I can just go grab all the singles (and SAMPLE them for 37 seconds first just to be sure!) and save myself a lot of time and money.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha 'my hip hop problems'

I need an iPod and a new Mac PRONTO, I have actually been retuning my methods of music purchases in the past several months in preparation for iTunes and the iPod. Okay i'm done really.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

ed- pc where?

fr apple: Download the iPod Software 1.3 Updater (5.2MB)
Select the download for your platform (Windows version available early May):

Y'all know what I do like is them there docking port for the iPod...

― jm (jtm), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

yup. sure do.

I gots to get me one of those 15gb fellers...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, ron, you'll have to wait unfortunately.

I'm pissed that there's no date set for when the service will be availible in the UK. I functions well and the previews are good. It needs a hell of a lot more catalogue, (1 Sun Ra album just ain't going to cut it), Apple need to work at picking up some large independents.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeh, thought so but wonered if you'd uncovered a secret hiding spot :-)

― ron (ron), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

I liked the one-giant-wheel look of the old iPods better, but they're still neato. I love mine.

― Sean (Sean), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

My new iTunes tells me I can assign images to songs. Why would I want to do this????

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Because it's fuckin' COOL.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is true. These words should be Steve Jobs' epitaph.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 28 April 2003 20:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

surely, 'Insanely Great'. Although he hasn't said that for some time.

It is fuckin' cool. Also, Apple does it for you automatically whenever you buy a track from its store. Between the visualizer and the album cover art, I can't stay away from my G4. Help!

i got one of the 12" powerbooks last week. boo ya ... it's rad. i'm sick.

The rumour sites are going bonkers mental with speculation about monday.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

What's happeneing Monday?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

I predict it will start just after Sunday finishes.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

it's the delayed Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. Steve jobs is giving a keynote, launching OS X 10.3 'Panther' to developers and rumoured to feature IBM PPC 970 (Power4 derived 64bit dual core chip) based machines running OS X 10.2.7 'Smeagol'.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 16:52 (twenty years ago) link

That's a lust object?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

New case design rumoured too.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

"Smeagol"?

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, there has been much speculation over that one because all the point upgrades to jaguar have had colours as codenames.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 17:24 (twenty years ago) link

New case design? The goddamn thing had better walk and talk.

Even as the iPad breaks all sales records, something deeply disturbing is happening at Foxconn, the China-based company that manufactures the gadget for Apple.
Yesterday, an 18-year-old female worker at Foxconn became the fourth person in as many weeks to attempt suicide by jumping from one of the factory buildings.
The girl, only known by her surname, Rao, had only been working at Foxconn’s Longhua plant for a month. Fortunately a tree broke her fall, but she was severely injured.

The iPad isn't a big iPod touch—an iPod touch is a miniature iPad that restricts the full multitouch experience in exchange for offering greater portability. With the iPad, in contrast, you get multitouch the way it was meant to be done.

4 suicides per 300,000 people - is that higher than normal? same thing's happening at cornell too.

They all start out as iPod touches but a wave of male sex hormones during early development turns about half of them into iPads.
