- YouTube on Apple TV to use H.264
Filed under: Video, Apple, Apple TV
I thought it was a little odd that the Apple press release concerning the YouTube addition to Apple TV stated that it would take weeks for all YouTube content to be made available on the Apple TV. iLounge got to the bottom of this slightly odd situation (or so it seemed without explanation). They spoke with Apple Vice President of Worldwide Mac Hardware Marketing David Moody who explained the delay. It would seem that all YouTube's videos are in the process of being converted to H.264, a codec that Apple TV supports. All new videos will be converted to H.264 as they are uploaded, but it will take some time to convert the back catalog.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

We've been blogging about Steve Job's appearance at All Things Digital a lot today, and now you can watch it for yourself. A ten minute highlight reel has been posted on the All Things Digital website. I recommend you watch the whole video for a classic Jobs quote.

Filed under: Gaming
OK, it's been a busy day in Macville, what with the D Conference doing its best impression of Comdex and inspiring scores of product announcements. Still worthy of mention from earlier today: our sister site Joystiq posted an interview with two GameTap VPs on the upcoming changes to the GameTap offering. The most notable change for our people won't be along until late summer: a Mac implementation of GameTap.com will be released. This tidbit was so surprising to blogger Alexander Silwinski that he responded "Late summer you'll have a what?" Classic.
For those not familiar, GameTap is a gaming subscription service; imagine NetFlix but without actually mailing DVDs, and, like, for PC games. Check out details here.
Thanks Chris & Uros.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software, Productivity, Podcasts
Now that I'm on the home stretch of my undergrad (just a thesis project left to finish), I'm finally able to stretch my legs into some hobbies I've been meaning to pick up. One such hobby is photography, and since I've been flexing my digital tools, I've quickly become enamored with Aperture, Apple's professional alternative to iPhoto. Even though I am by no means a professional photographer (no laughing at my pictures!), there are a ton of features in Aperture that drew me away from iPhoto, and I thought highlighting some of these tempting tools would be ripe for a TUAW podcast. Aperture, in my opinion, isn't just for the photographers whose lens bags weigh more than most typical household dogs; it offers a wealth of general features for power users, photography enthusiasts and those who need something that lands right at the intersection of iPhoto and Photoshop in terms of both functionality and price.
Hence, TUAW Podcast #25 was born. For just over twenty minutes I explore some of Aperture's features that I think appeal to a wide audience. Pick up a copy from our iTunes Store Podcast directory, this direct link or our own podcast rss feed.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/30/tuaw-podcast-25-aperture/#comments - 3rd party apps on the iPhone and HD in iTunes?
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iTS, iPhone, Apple TV
His Steveness hinted at a few things today at Walt Mossberg's All Things Digital conference today (check out Engadget's great live coverage of Steve's talk). During the interview with Mossberg Jobs hinted that the iTunes Store will be offering HD content at some point in the future (why else would you need a 160 gig drive on your Apple TV?).
After the interview the audience was able to ask Steve some questions, and one person asked about third party apps on the iPhone. Steve said that Apple is working hard on getting third party apps on the iPhone, but they are concerned about security. He said that Apple made the call not to promise third party support until they are sure it can be done in a secure manner.

Filed under: Hardware, Apple, Apple TV
Apple's official press release announcing the YouTube component of Apple TV has some interesting tidbits on it. Firstly, a new built to order option of a 160 gig harddrive on Apple TVs that will be available tomorrow for $399. The new beefier Apple TVs will hold 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos, or a combination therein.
Also of note is that not all YouTube videos will be available on the Apple TV at launch (mid-June). At first part of the catalog of YouTube videos will be available with more and more added each week until everyone available on the website will be available on your Apple TV.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Walt Mossberg knows how to get his Steveness to talk, it would seem. Jobs just announced that come mid-June Apple will be rolling out a new free feature for all Apple TVs: the ability to watch YouTube videos on the Apple TV. Hmm, and who owns YouTube? Oh, that's right... Google.
I suppose this is one of those surprises that is meant to delight us. Works for me!

Filed under: iTS, Features, Deals
Welcome to this week's edition of iTunes: Free
TuesdayWednesday. Each week TUAW searches the iTunes Stores throughout the world and brings you the latest free items for you to download and enjoy. This week got off to a very late start. It seems that Apple is sleeping in later and later each week, delaying the posting of the newest iTunes freebies, and with all the excitement about iTunes Plus it took an extra day for the Singles of the Week to go live. But all is well and we're happy to (finally) bring you this week's goodies. US and UK Readers can even download a free! iTunes Plus-grade track this week with the Single of the Week. Internationally, it's a very Jarhand week: it's the SOTW for Australia, New Zealand and Canada.US Music
US: Ooh La by The Kooks
Each week, we find a track from an artist or a band who's on the cusp of success and bring it to you, for free, as our Single of the Week. The Kooks hail from Brighton and were nominated Best New Act at the 2006 Q Awards and won Best UK and Ireland Act of 2006 at the MTV Europe Music Awards. They're confirmed stars in Europe and the countdown to U.S. domination begins here with "Ooh La," a lanky pop confection that's all sunny suns and acoustic strums. Download our Single of the Week and get on the bandwagon early.US: Ni Tu Ni Yo by Eduardo Cruz
(No Description. Link goes to full album. You'll need to look for the one free track.)Video and International selections after the jump...

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/30/itunes-free-wednesday/#comments - iTunes Plus Challenge
Filed under: iTS, Odds and ends
Wow. After all that fuss, it turns out that I don't own a single upgradable EMI track. My cost for bringing my library out of the dark ages and into the brave new DRM-free world? Nothing. At least that's nothing until I go out and buy a $1.29 track later this morning so I can play with the data file and see whether it will play back on my, you know, Zune. Curiously enough I do own EMI plus-worthy tracks (for example, David Bowie's "Life on Mars") but I have not been offered an option to upgrade them.So here's the challenge: Who of you out there in reader land has the biggest collection of upgradable tracks and how much is iTunes asking you to fork over to pay for those upgrades? Let us know in the comments. The winner gets bragging rights ands we will issue him or her a virtual TUAW huzzah (try saying that three times fast.)

Filed under: iLife, Features, Tips and tricks, iTunes, Open Source, Troubleshooting, Ask TUAW
This week in Ask TUAW we have questions about sharing iPhoto and iTunes between different users on the same Mac, seeing who's connected to your wireless network, cleaning up the Services menu, installing applications, the nature of open source software and more. Remember new Mac users and Switchers who are enjoying our Mac 101 series should feel very welcome to post questions for Ask TUAW; we're happy to have them. As always, please submit your questions for next week by commenting to this post.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: iTS, Terminal Tips, TUAW Tips
Sure, you can now download music from the iTunes store without DRM but that doesn't mean you should just willy nilly start sharing that music with your friends. For one thing, it's illegal. For another, your account information is embedded into that m4a music file. Don't believe me? Try this yourself.
1. Launch Terminal. You'll need to be comfortable at the command line to perform this check.
2. Navigate to one of your iTunes plus downloads. If you have a US iTunes account, you can download the iTunes plus "Ooh La" single of the week.
3. Use the UNIX "strings" command to look at the text in your data and grep to search for your name. e.g.
strings 01\ Ooh\ La.m4a | grep name
Alternatively, open all the strings in TextEdit:
strings 01\ Ooh\ La.m4a | open -f.Bottom line: DRM-free doesn't mean that Apple suddenly supports piracy.
