- TUAW Gallery: iTunes on Apple TV
Filed under: iTS, Hacks, iTunes, Apple TV
%Gallery-2357%Have you been looking to stream radio to your Apple TV? Or to download some podcasts directly to it, bypassing your main system? Here's a collection of photos showing what things look like when you disable the normal Apple TV software and run iTunes directly on the Apple TV hardware. There's a lot missing--namely the ability to type text for some reason, and all the iTunes labels--but you can still manage to eek out some features that are otherwise missing in the current Apple TV software.
For the most part, you need to run iTunes over a VNC connection from a normal Macintosh, but once you get going you can stream the audio live from any radio station for an indefinite period of time. Make sure to use the Apple Remote about once every twenty-to-thirty minutes to keep Apple TV from automatically going to sleep.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/03/30/tuaw-gallery-itunes-on-apple-tv/#comments - Cingular says June 11 is iPhone Day
My fellow Carnegie Mellon alum Declan McCullagh (go Tartans!) has a unique investigative style: when he wants to find out a product release date, he calls customer service and asks someone. Genius, I say! In this case, he called AT&T/Cingular and spoke to a sales manager who confirmed an on-sale date for the iPhone of June 11, 2007. The alert reader will note that Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference also starts on June 11. Coincidence? Uh, survey says no.
What's that noise I hear... is that the sound of millions of customers checking the contract expiration dates for their current cellphone service? Sounds like gophers.
Thanks Marcus!

Filed under: Software, Beta Beat
Happy Friday everyone! From Down Under it emerges (via APC, the Aussie computer magazine): a preview article on Office 2008, including the tempting tidbit that the suite is now in private beta, with the 'Escher' graphics engine and plenty of shiny bits. MBU managers also admit that the initial attempts at a new, more Windows-ish interface for the Mac productivity suite met with blank stares and frustration:
"[T]he Mac developers had already had one radical redesign tested and rejected after user feedback, said MacBU group product manager Mary Starman. 'We had what we thought was going to be this perfect UI solution, and the first time we put it in the labs, no-one understood it! It was so different they were completely confused!'"
I don't know whether to be happy that they listened to the test groups, or discouraged that they were surprised when a radical UI change caused user confusion. *sigh* Check out the full APC article for screenshots and more.
Thanks Dave and Bryce!Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
