I might end up getting one as I need a new monitor and computer

i'm waiting for a new freaking macbook already

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that I am going to move to a Nokia 770 for a mobile computer and use my Pbook G4 for music stuff. Then just a big honking iMac at home.

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

1) When will Nokia offer a ~~better~~newer tablet pc?
2) Does the 770 work with iSync?

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Dear Apple -

New MacBook Pro please. k thx bye.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Nevermind, no syncing. Maybe I just need to move to an entirely Gmail based solution and then hack something to sync to address book / ical

^ hmmm

I've been seeing really shitty reviews of the 770. Have you used one?

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

this one particularly scathing about the IMAP

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i wish gcalendar was more sync/ical friendly :(

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

the imacs are definitely tempting-looking but i absolutely need a laptop

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm going to move to an entirely Web-based email/calendering/task list setup. Except with iCal running for phone sync and a local email client at home for archival / offlineness

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i was thinking about that but there are still times (on a train etc) where i'm not online and it'd suck to not have access. can you sync you rphone & stuff from a web setup?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Yea, that is a valid concern. Fuck.

My phone right now syncs cal and address book from my computer. The calendars can be remote iCal feeds.

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Although having on demand GPRS with the nokia 770 may make it a nonconcern....

Moleskine has great soft-cover journals now, about 1/5 as many pages as the regular journals. Overpriced, I think, but I got my stack for free.

TOM, DO U HAVE A HIPSTER PDA [Y/N]?
IF Y, DOES IT HAVE COAX IN [Y/N]?

tom does the moleskine notebook sync up with web apps

Results 1 - 10 of about 819,000 for moleskin AND USB

i got a mac mini in june.

it works fine and does everything i need it to.

i don't care about integrated graphics because i don't want to play Quake 4 on it. i have a PC and xbox360 for that sort of thing. not that i want to play Quake 4 on those either.

the oh noes intergheyted gfx don't fuck the system one bit, despite what a million internet nerds who don't own an apple system with a GMA 950 in it say. perhaps they need to 'grok' 'perl' in a resolution of 126178836816313 X 9867995793459493596 whilst playing the sims 2 but i don't.

only a total pillock would use aperture to fiddle with their holiday snaps.

i also own one of those nice moleskine notebooks, which means i pwn this thread

rumors about ipod phone, wireless video unit and itunes w/movies

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Let's just say I have been informed by a little reliable birdy about Tommorow's event. The line-up will follow this similar structure:
Welcoming of Media Members
Discussion on iTunes software, iTMS integration into iTunes, and iTMS
sales and facts.
Announcement of iTunes version 7.0
Announces better search feature for Music Store
Announces Movie Store. Available Immediately will be movies from
Disney and Pixar, among other studios.
New iPod Nano Announcement (nice brushed casing, while it will have
same features as first gen, only a longer battery life)
New iPod Announcement (Widescreen, Bluetooth, and featuring virtual
touchwheel. Does not include Wi-Fi, or any other protocols)
One More Thing....
TubePort. A $99 2-piece set that includes a dongle that connects via USB to your mac, and another dongle that connects via included HD cables or regular Component cables to your TV. The movie is accessed on your Mac via an iDisk-like storage component hosted by Apple.

Jobs will then explain the pricing structure of the Movie Store.
Movies wil be available as either a smaller iPod-format (which will
cost $9.99 per movie), or as a larger, streamed movie to be streamed
to your TV via TubePort. This cost $14.99 per movie. To purchase an
iPod-formatted movie and a streamed version of the same movie, it will
cost you $19.99.

Intriguing. (And since I'm about to bite the bullet to get a Mac Mini to replace the Cube, good timing in general.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

One More Thing is usually something completely unrelated, not an essential part of whatever he was talking about before. What's he going to say? "We have this boom movie store and it's really, really great. Now the iPod nano .... Oh, wait, one more thing. The movies will cost X or Y". In fact, that running order could go in reverse and it'd make more sense.

TubePort is a stupid fucking name.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

The mini is a good solid performer, I've had one on my desk at work since just after the Intel ones came out and it's great.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

the mac mini is the most awesomest thing ever

i was mucking about with my £1100 PC over the weekend and it nearly went out the window several times whilst with a bit more RAM i think i'd marry the mini

― The Real DG (D to thee G), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Streamed? STREAMED?

― mei (mei), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

good thing that bit in italics is bullshit

Apparently this is live: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/index.html

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't like the look of the URL

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Edgesuite is just an Akamai URL.

ooh bejewelled on an ipod. I heart bejewelled

Don't admit your mistakes
(Do fix them next time)
same old...

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

thank fuck they're fixing some of these. iTunes will pull cover art now, and has an album view.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

streamed, non-DVD quality movies for $13-15 bucks? Gee, thanks, I'll walk ten minutes to Best Buy and get it for the same.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll get mine offof torrents, ta.

iTV looks cool tho -- wireless set-top box. And being able to sync different macs using yr ipod is top.

iPod now offers gapless playback

GRRR

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

ALERT!!

iPods can now be used to move stuff from computer to computer!

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

iTV looks interesting if it means the Apple Store is getting HD content when it comes out.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Will it have tivo functionality?

― Really cool, wickedly cool, cooly cool bon apetit! (ex machina), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm thrilled they went to the mini-style music extruded aluminum enclosure for the Nanos.

― Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon: Apple sa "And if you’ve got iTunes Store purchases you’d like to move from one computer to another" ... I think the twats have limited it to songs downloaded from iTunes.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Multiple libraries tho: keep a small one on Laptop and full one on external HD. Sweet.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

any news on whether gapless playback will be available as a software update for existing 5G ipods?

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

will these new nanos include non-fucked up VBR playback? or is there an update for existing nanos?

ALERT!!

iPods can now be used to move stuff from computer to computer!

erm, you can do this already. Winamp + ml_ipod plugin = easy.

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm probably missing the sarcasm there.

― boredom to the left, babylon to the right (fandango), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry, kneejerking a bit. some of this is cool.
