- iPod 5G gets an update to 1.3
Filed under: iPod Family, Software Update
If there's one thing you can be sure of in the software update department, it's that an otherwise nondescript iPod software update will include "bug fixes." In the case of the new 1.3 update for 5G and 5.5G iPods, that's about all we know so far. The update is available via iTunes but has not shown up yet on Apple's download pages.
I've just installed the update on my iPod and there aren't any visible changes to speak of. If you've got the update and you notice anything odd, please do speak up.
Thanks Oli!Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Features, Troubleshooting, Ask TUAW
In this round of Ask TUAW we'll be looking at questions about setting up a software mirrored RAID with the Disk Utility, sharing volumes between Mac and Windows, forcing iTunes to update podcasts even if you haven't been listening, finding a missing iPhoto library in Front Row and much more.
As always your suggestions are most welcome, and questions for next week should be left in the comments. When asking a question please include which machine you're running and which version of OS X, as certain answers will vary between different Macs and Tiger vs. Leopard, etc. (we'll assume you're running Leopard if you don't specify). And now, on to the questions!Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Accessories, Audio, iPhone
This was going to happen eventually. Altec Lansing has produced the first fully iPhone-compatible speaker docking system. The descriptively named t612 features 60 Watts of power RMS (120 Watts Peak), and connects to your iPhone's dock port.
There are four speakers, enhanced bass, a wireless remote and, best of all, it's immune to that annoying GSM interference noise while the iPhone is docked and not in Airplane Mode.
All this convenience comes at a price -- $199.95US, to be exact. At the time of this posting, no shipping information was available.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/13/uk-apple-store-is-down/#comments - Austrian iPhone Launch
Filed under: iPhone
Speaking as a hemi-hemi-Austrian, I was crushed when, as a child, I discovered my Grandmother's family had come from the one without the kangaroos. Despite their marsupial deprivations not to mention the extreme lack of monotremes, the Austrian iPhone launch is due to kick off tomorrow, the 14th of March with an 8GB iPhone selling for €399 and 16GB for €499. (Google monetary conversion tells me this is "Like Way Expensive", aka starting at $615.)
T-Mobile will offer two talk plans, a basic and a "Supreme" plan (possibly called a "Royal with Cheese" in France). The plans include just 3GB data, which according to our loyal readers should last about 17 days of normal use -- so go easy on the YouTube videos unless your Konditorei has free WiFi.
A big old Danke to Ranier Perl.
Update: Who knew?

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/13/austrian-iphone-launch/#comments - Apple announces WWDC 08 dates
Filed under: WWDC, Apple, Developer
With the iPhone SDK announcement last week, some of us here at TUAW were expecting a Worldwide Developer Conference date to be announced. Thankfully, the world has been put to rights, as Apple has now announced that WWDC will run from 9th - 13th June at San Francisco's Moscone Centre (West Hall). With three tracks (iPhone, Mac and IT) if you're a developer or IT Pro this is probably a conference you'll want to be at -- and students are encouraged too, with Student Scholarships usually available.
Whilst the ticket prices are forthcoming, it'll
Pricing for this year's WWDC is US$1295 for a single ticket, US$5180 for 5 tickets (saving you $1295). Apple are also offering combined packages of ADC membership and a WWDC membership.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/13/apple-announces-wwdc-08-dates/#comments - Yet more great apps coming for the iPhone
Filed under: Gaming, Developer, iPhone
Yesterday we posted about the Apple press release announcing that the SDK had been downloaded more than 100,000 times in four days. It's also worth noting, however, that Apple basically confirmed that several well-known developers are officially supporting the iPhone and bringing some exciting applications to everyone's favorite handheld. In addition to the developers represented on stage at the SDK event, of particular interest are:
- Intuit (of Quicken fame) which wants "to create powerful iPhone applications."
- Namco, specifically mentioning Pac Man and, my favorite, Galaga.
- NetSuite, developer of SuitePhone (CRM software similar to salesforce.com).
- PopCap games, working on the extremely addicting Peggle as well as classics Bejeweled and Zuma.
- Six Apart, which is developing an iPhone native TypePad blogging client.

Filed under: Leopard
Let me tell you something about people from Brooklyn: we are, by nature and environment, edgy risk-takers who live life like we're driving a Maserati down the PCH. Or a Camry up the BQE. Anyway, you don't want to mess with us -- and specifically, you don't want to mess with Mike Solomon, a creative director who's apparently got cojones the size of Jonathan Ive's awards cabinet.
What did Mike do that earns him the title of Mac Jock Extraordinare? Faced with a weekend on-site video editing project that would require 20 GB of space and only having 10 GB free on his laptop, he didn't bow to the conventional wisdom -- send a production assistant to Staples for a new 500GB drive, or weed out his Downloads folder. No, he decided the best way to free up the needed space was to out-and-out delete his 65 GB iTunes library, the media addict's equivalent of flushing your stash when the cops show up. Then, when he returned home later, he simply restored his library from Time Machine -- no muss, no fuss.
Mike, we salute you and your outside-the-box approach to capacity management. Next time, though, might we suggest a portable drive?

Filed under: iTS
Silicon Alley Insider noted that Disney CEO Bob Iger announced some numbers for video and movie sales via iTunes since the 2006 launch. With about 4 million movies delivered via the store, and another 40 to 50 million video/TV show sales, that's a lot of bits. SAI isn't impressed, though; writer Peter Kafka runs the math and comes up with a revenue number of about $123 million -- not a blip on the screen for the conglomerate that shelled out $7.4 billion for a renegade animation studio with a notoriously idiosyncratic part-time CEO.
What Kafka does acknowledge, and what makes digital delivery via iTunes worth Disney's while (other than the obvious "Steve told us to do it"), is that this is incremental revenue that Disney probably wouldn't have captured otherwise -- Netflix or Blockbuster would have gotten the rentals, and relatively few DVDs would have been purchased to make up the digital slack. What did the revenue numbers look like in the first years of the VCR, DVD or cable pay-per-view offerings? Probably also on the less-substantial side, and yet those businesses are gigantic today.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Terminal Tips
Whois or "Who is," is a way to query for contact information (or domain name ownership information) about the person or company in control of a site. If you want to know who runs a website, you don't have to look any further than your Mac and opening a Terminal window.
All you have to do is open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/) and type in "whois" and space followed by a URL. For instance, the following command would give you the whois information for tuaw.com: whois tuaw.com.
You can do this for almost any website; however, some domain names use some form of a hiding service from their registrar that allows them to hide their contact information. Be forewarned that you shouldn't use information like this to stalk people!
Please note that if you have Terminal-itis, or are scared of the Terminal, you can use Apple's Network Utility in Mac OS X to do a whois query. Just open Network Utility.app (in the /Applications/Utilities/) and click the "whois" tab. From there you can enter a URL and do a query, all within a pretty "Aqua-licious" user interface.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/13/terminal-tip-using-whois/#comments - iPhone SDK works on PowerPC Macs, sort of
Filed under: iPod Family, Developer, iPhone
A MacRumors post suggests that the recently released, "Intel-only" iPhone SDK works on PowerPC Macs as well. According to the post, it worked fine on a iBook G4 running Mac OS X Leopard. The post did go on to say that Xcode displayed an error message upon trying to build a project, saying that the "target architecture does not match." Errors like these are to be expected, but at least those PowerPC-using developers can start to develop for the iPhone. There is no word yet on how the $99 digital certificate will work on the PowerPC Macs.
3by9's website has the full details on how to get the SDK running on your PPC Mac.
