- TUAW at Big Nerd Ranch: cabin tour
Filed under: Developer, iPhone
More coverage of TUAW's inside look at developer boot camp. See below for notes & disclaimer.
This is a quick video I shot on Sunday. It's a quick tour of my cabin, just to show you what the lodging and amenities at the Big Nerd Ranch look like. Participants don't spend a lot of time in their rooms, as the class schedule makes for a long day, and is usually followed by some lab time spent working on projects and getting answers to additional questions. Meals are served in the main building, so you end up spending a lot more time with the group than you do in cliques or on your own. The food, by the way, has exceeded my expectations, and the cooks have cheerfully catered to my dietary preferences (a picky pescatarian with a penchant for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches).
Read on for the video of the cabin; I should have a video of the actual campus and some footage from our daily hike up soon, too!
In order to give our readers the first-hand account of what it's like to experience developer boot camp, Big Nerd Ranch has permitted Brett to attend complimentary classes and has provided transportation/lodging assistance. Other than those considerations, no sponsorship or advertising relationship exists between BNR and TUAW. This series is not an endorsement of BNR's programs or teaching methodology.

Переслать - Count The Beats: Playing keys and synth live on a Mac (interview).
Filed under: Audio, Software, Interviews, Music
Over the coming months, the Count The Beats series is going to be taking a closer look at how the Mac (and the accompanying software) fits in with the various components of a typical rock band (drums, bass, electric guitar etc. You get the idea).
In this post we're going to take a closer look at keyboards (playing keys and synths) in a live performance context. From honky-tonk piano's on fire to out-of-control oscillating synths, there is so much gear and software out there it can be difficult to know where to start, especially when it comes to playing in a live performance context.
Session musician, and good friend of mine, Jon Dean does a fair bit of this, and does it well. In the last few years he's gone from classically trained pianist to Rock 'n Roll, synth and pad-crazy keys extraordinaire.
I managed to pull Jon away from his busy touring schedule to sit down with me and a cup of tea with some After Eight Mints (it's a new kind of Rock 'n Roll out there, apparently) to talk controllers, audio interfaces and moving from PC to Mac, with a couple bad musician jokes thrown in for good measure.
Even if you're not a keys player, it's interesting to see how the Mac continues to facilitate and encourage creative musicianship to an extent that just wasn't available a few short years ago.
Click the Read More link for the interview.TUAW: You do a lot of live keyboard playing and make some pretty interesting noises, um, on your keyboard. How did you get into playing keys with a computer?
Jon Dean: I'd like to say that I've been doing this for years, but the truth is, its been a journey of around 3 years to get to what I use today. I'm a classically trained piano player, so going into the world of keyboards and synths took a good deal of education, time and trial and error before I really knew what I was doing. Also, this journey is actually what brought me into the world of Apple and using Macs. Before then, I didn't have a clue!
TUAW: Naturally the quality of the instrument you play is really important. Being a classically trained pianist you must have high standards when it comes to tone and 'feel' when you sit down to play your instrument. With so many controllers out there, what do you look for?
JD: With the setup I have now I actually look to my keyboard to be more than a controller, as I use it for piano, electric piano and organ sounds. However, if I was playing all my sounds out of my laptop, then a crucial element would be the keys themselves. I would have to have weighted keys to play piano, and maybe, in an ideal world, I would have a separate semi-weighted controller for the synth and organ sounds. The next thing on the list would be a good bank of faders and knobs to control the sound in whatever way you want. If I could, I would probably steer clear of a controller with loads of inbuilt sounds, as I'd be paying for gear that I wouldn't ever use.
However, I'm currently using the Nord Stage 73 EX. This is my latest addition to the set up (previously I was using a Yamaha s90), but it has already become my favourite! It is outstanding in many ways, but in particular, the quality of the fully weighted keys, its piano and electric piano samples, and how easy it is to adjust effects as you go makes it, for me, an absolute cut above the rest. The organ sound is great, and it looks pretty hot too!
I use the Nord mainly for piano as well as electric piano and organ. There is a highly capable synth section on board too, although at the moment, I'm mainly using software on my Mac for synths and pads.
TUAW: You're using a MacBook as the brains behind your operation. As you mentioned, you're fairly new to the world of Macs, why did you decide to go for a Mac as apposed to a Windows PC to power your setup?
JD: I asked loads of people before I decided which to go for (I originally had a PC laptop with Windows), and the resounding answer was Mac all the way. The biggest reason for me, to go for Mac, was that a Mac is far less likely to crash, which is crucial in the live performance setting. I know someone with a Windows laptop that runs similar software for keys and synths, and I've seem them struggle, regularly. It made the decision a lot clearer. Having used my Mac for a year now, and almost no problems whatsoever, I am very happy that I made that decision.
I ended up getting a 13" MacBook 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM (was originally 2GB). Today this MacBook is no longer available, but its closest available product would be the current 13" MacBook Pro. If money was no object, I probably would have gone for the faster model, but with an extra 2GB of RAM (which I think is necessary), it is more than capable of doing everything I need in a live setting.
TUAW: What audio interface are you using to tie everything together?
JD: I'm currently using the Edirol UA25-EX Audio Interface. This has been a really solid, robust interface whilst I've had it. It has a metal rather than plastic case which makes it a lot more durable, something that is important when you're on the road a fair bit. Its main job, for me, is to interface the keyboard and the Mac, although when I am limited to 2 channels on the PA desk, I will also use it as a mixer to take in the left and right outputs from the Nord.
I've also got a Korg NanoKontrol. This little gadget is the width of my laptop and fits snugly before the trackpad. It's possible to assign its buttons, sliders and knobs to almost anything you want, but I generally use it to control my volume levels in the various tracks that are open in Logic (as well as the master volume).
TUAW: Lets talk a little more about the software and plug-ins then.
JD: OK, I'm using Logic Pro 8 to host everything that I am doing, Logic has some great built in plug-ins that I sometimes use for keys sounds, but for synths, Spectrasonic's Omisphere is definitely one of the most powerful software synthesisers out there, and has some amazing samples, as well as some pretty weird stuff! At the moment I am barely scratching the surface of what it can do, as the possibilities, in terms of creating your own sounds, go on and on. I mostly use this plug-in for atmospheric pads and 80s synth sounds.
TUAW: Are there any 'tricks of the trade' that you've discovered to enhance those amazing tones?
JD: I've been known to use a Boss DD20 Delay guitar effects stomp box to get some unique delay sounds for my keys, but now that I have the Nord, which has an inbuilt delay effect, this isn't an essential piece of kit anymore. Having said that, the DD20 does have more features than the Nord's delay, and it produces a different tonal quality which I like. It's also particularly useful to be able to use the built-in tap tempo feature rather than my fingers to dictate the tempo.
Other little tidbits, maybe not tricks of the trade but ... A sustain pedal (Yamaha Control Pedal) and a switch pedal for Rotor Speed. Not too much to say about them really, apart from they are pretty handy! The more you can let your feet do the better.
TUAW: Lets talk about samples for a minute. With so many to choose from, say you could only run 2 samples through an entire gig, what 2 samples would you choose and why would they be your "go to" sounds to get you through the show?
JD: To start with, the software program I would use would be Spectrasonics' Omnisphere, the plug-in that I run out of Logic. It has an absolutely huge bank of sounds, but more than that, the number of effects and parameters that you can change are endless. It has a great live setting which makes it possible to switch between different samples seamlessly, and loads of MIDI capability that makes using it live a lot easier. I haven't come across anything that comes close to this.
TUAW: Alright, we get it, you love Omnisphere! But if you could only choose 2 sounds for the gig..?
JD: For the bands I play with, what is typically required for most songs would be some kind of synth for the faster stuff, and atmospheric pads for the slower, more intimate or medium-paced songs. If I had to choose one synth it would be one called 'Eighties Oberheim Pluck' on Omnishpere, which does exactly what it says on the tin, really. It has a nice modulation effect which really opens up the sound when you want it to go big. For the pad, I would probably go for Greenhouse Pad. Its light and airy so it doesn't dominate too much, but has a slight crackling which makes it a bit more interesting. I'd also have the piano (either grand or electric) available on the Nord at any time to layer on top and define chords or play other parts.
TUAW: Finally, something a bit more theory orientated, but what do you get when you play a diminished chord with an augmented chord? A demented chord!
JD: Thanks, I've got to go now....TUAWCount The Beats: Playing keys and synth live on a Mac (interview). originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - Hospitals eye the iPad for low-cost paperless records
Filed under: Apple
Unless you have absolutely no imagination, you've probably noticed the resemblance of the iPad to one of those cheap little clipboards that your friendly neighborhood doctor carries around on rounds. Apple is rumored to be making its own rounds of hospitals marketing the new über-iPod touch, having visited a hospital in LA in the recent weeks.
What's so great about tablets for health care? When connected to a Wi-Fi network, they're perfect for looking up medical information or working patient charts while on the move. The iPad in particular would be perfect, having no keyboard to disinfect or lid hinges to break. In addition, the most expensive Wi-Fi iPad is priced at just US$699, while many traditional Windows Tablet PCs used in health care start in the neighborhood of $2,000.
Of course, it all depends on the software. We recently received a question from a reader who just happens to be a doctor, asking if he could use an iPad with his existing Windows-based medical record keeping system. The answer was simple; yes, since there are already many VNC and RDP apps available for the iPad that can be used to control a remote PC (examples are Jaadu VNC [iTunes Link] and iTap RDP Client [iTunes Link].
While neither of these vendors has 'fessed up to working on an iPad-specific version of their app, it's only a matter of time. For medical practices using the Mac OS X-based MacPractice system, the company has announced MacPractice Interface for iPad, MacPractice Kiosk for iPad, Dental Chart for iPad, and an iPad-based EMR/EHR app.
With a little luck and a big marketing push from Apple, the iPad may make it into hospitals and medical offices around the world.

Переслать - That $499 iPad only costs Apple $270; Wall Street analyst is elated
Filed under: Hardware, Apple Financial
Apple is well-known in the consumer electronics world for relatively large margins on products. According to a bill of materials (BOM) breakdown on the iPad recently performed by BroadPoint AmTech analyst Brian Marshall, the iPad should be able to add a sizable chunk of money to Apple's bottom line.
For the 16GB Wi-Fi iPad (US$499), Marshall found that the total BOM cost was $270.50. Manufacturing adds $10 to the cost, and warranty service costs add up to $20. In case you're wondering, the flash memory and the aluminum case both cost about $25, and the Apple A4 processor adds just $15 to the total cost of the iPad.
While the entry-level iPad may appear to be a cash cow for Apple, the 32GB and 64GB Wi-Fi models add even more margin to the mix. The 32GB model costs only $25.50 more than the 16GB, but the suggested retail price is $100 more. Apple will really make money on the 64GB model, which costs $76.50 more than the 16GB device but sells for $200 more.
Marshall had a chance to use an iPad, which led him to believe that "...this will be another grand slam product for Apple. The ergonomics and the 'media' experience of the device stood out the most to us." His original estimate was for Apple to sell about 2.2 million units in 2010. He's now expecting sales to be much higher. As an example, he feels that if Apple sells seven million units, calendar year earnings per share for Apple would rise from $12 to over $13.
Marshall is definitely bullish on Apple, having rated AAPL a "buy" with a target price of $264 per share. Considering the trashing that Apple and most other tech stocks have taken recently, the company has long way to go -- and a lot of iPads to sell - before reaching that target price.

Переслать - Apple cybersquatter is ousted from Twitter, but still no sign of @appleDespite the huge number of companies and individuals that have Twitter accounts, our favorite Cupertino-based company has been strangely silent on the "social media" scene. While some conspiracy theorists out there might take that as proof that Apple is going to create their own Twitter-like notification service or, even worse, buy Twitter outright, we'd like to believe that it's just because they don't need to blast out 140-character screeds every few minutes to get attention.
If Apple ever decides to join the crowd and tweet news blasts to several hundred million followers, they'll be able to pick up @apple as their Twitter handle. According to 9to5Mac, a cybersquatter had taken over the twitter.com/apple username, but just recently the message you see above started appearing. Not only does this indicate that the squatter has been forcibly removed from his/her former inhabitance in Twitter-ville, but attempts to sign up as Apple on Twitter are rebuffed.
Whether this indicates that Apple will soon join the ranks of Twitterites or if it's just Twitter being nice to the coolest computer maker on the 'net, it is nice to see that we won't be seeing tweets from "Fake Apple" in the near future.

Переслать - Five customized Automator services to help save you time
Filed under: Software, How-tos, Productivity
One gem in Mac OS X that sometimes gets glanced over is the Services menu. Lots of readers may not know yet that Snow Leopard brought with it the ability to create your own customized service in Automator -- in other words, you can get additional selections on a contextual menu when right-clicking within a certain context, say a file within a Finder window. To create a customized service, all you have to do is launch Automator and select "Services" from the "Choose a template for your workflow" window, and then insert your own service from there.
Here are five customized services for you to install on your own Mac.
Attach to Mail
In the Windows world, right-clicking on a file(s) brings up the option to "send to," and "mail recipient" is one of its options. The result is your attachment(s) showing up automatically attached in a new email message window. This service does the same thing in Mac OS X with Mail.app.- On the right hand pane, select service receives selected files or folders in Finder.
- Now, drag "New Mail Message" (from the Mail.app actions in the library) over to workflow pane (on the right side).
- Save your workflow with a name that make sense -- like "attach to message" -- because this is what will appear on the contextual menu when you right-click a file.
Print Selected Files
Similar to the mail service, this service provides a print option in a contextual menu so that you can right-click on selected files and print to your heart's content.- Service receives selected files or folders in Finder.
- Now, drag the "Get Selected Finder Items" from the Finder actions in the library over to the workflow pane.
- Likewise, drag the "Print Finder Items" from the "Utilities" actions to the workflow pane.
- Save.
Create Thumbnail
This service will thumbnail re-size your selected images.- Service receives selected image files in Finder.
- Now, drag the "Get Selected Finder Items" from the Finder actions in the library over to the workflow pane.
- From the "Images" actions, drag the "Create Thumbnail Images" action to your workflow pane. Within this action, you can specify the suffix that will be appended to the file name, as well as thumbnail size.
- Save.
Start Keynote Slideshow
This service will open the selected Keynote presentation in slideshow mode.- Service receives selected files or folders in Finder
- From the Finder actions, drag the "Open Finder Items" to the workflow pane.
- From the Keynote actions, drag the Start Keynote Slideshow action to the workflow pane.
- Save.
Bit.ly shorten a URL
Courtesy of Alexandre Hamez, this service allows you to right-click and shorten a URL using the bit.ly service.- You can download the service here.
- After downloading, move the file (named "bit.ly.workflow") to the "Services" folder, which is also where you'll find all of your services. The path to this folder is ~Username/Library/Services.
These are just a few examples of customized services that you could create in Automator, but by no means are they the only ones. If you've got a favorite service of your own, be sure to share it in our comments below!

Переслать - Patent hints at next generation Apple TV
Filed under: Gaming, Hardware, Video
The USPTO has published seven different patents from Apple today, including one that might be found in the next generation of the Apple TV. The patent allows for a "Remote Control System that can Distinguish Stray Light Sources" -- in other words, a Wii style remote that can pick out a certain type of light source from other bulbs in the house. The patent paints some pretty wild pictures of what they must be working on at Apple HQ: it describes IR emitters mounted near a television, and then describes how to keep the remote control both "measuring its own motion" from those sensors, and able to recognize differences between those sensors and other light sources, including reflections and other features of the surroundings.
Of course, Apple's not a company that tends to follow, so you have to wonder what else they're putting together if they really are planning on taking a song from Nintendo's Wii and adding it to the Apple TV's repertoire. Not that we'll ever see it for sure -- they file patents all the time, some of them already used (other patents filed today include Smart Playlists in iTunes and the "slide to unlock" feature found in the iPhone and the iPad), and some which will never see release. But it certainly sounds like something is cooking in the Apple R&D labs.TUAWPatent hints at next generation Apple TV originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Pop culture loves the iPad: Paper presentation, Parry Grip anthem
All of Apple's devices have been embraced by pop culture sooner or later, but I think the iPad has probably nabbed the record for quickest to the bear hug. Here's two silly things we've seen today, just a week after the iPad's official announcement. First up, songsmith Parry Gripp's latest mini-tune is all about the iPad, and as you can see above, it's actually a pretty interesting commentary on just how successful the device will likely be: we may argue about which kinds of nachos are ruling, but we can all agree that nachos in general are awesome.
Second, the iPad announcement itself has even been immortalized in papercraft. And if you want your own paper-based recreation of last week's event, you can download the plans and put it together yourself. Weird? Yes. Strange? Very. But for a company that wants to sit at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts, Apple's mission is pretty much accomplished.TUAWPop culture loves the iPad: Paper presentation, Parry Grip anthem originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Apple forces Stanza to nix USB book sharing
Filed under: iTunes, iPhone, App Store
Those who enjoy USB book sharing their ePub and eReader files in the current version of Stanza [iTunes link] will want to avoid the 2.1 version of the software, currently being distributed in the App Store. The update notes reveal that Apple apparently ordered Lexcycle to remove the USB sharing ability. Unfortunately, Lexcycle is forbidden from explaining why they were told to remove the feature.
To me -- and this is pure speculation -- this is Apple's equivalent of giving Amazon the finger. Amazon acquired Lexcycle back in 2009, and that this could be part of a series of moves by Apple to drive people toward the iPad and the upcoming iBooks software. I wouldn't be too surprised if Apple found a way to ban the wonderful Kindle app [iTunes link] from the App Store at some point in the future. Is Apple becoming the next Tammany Hall with Steve Jobs its "Boss" Tweed?
For now, to avoid losing USB sharing, remember not to do a bulk upgrade of your apps and avoid any future Stanza updates.

Переслать - Dick Durbin presses Apple on human rights in China
Filed under: Apple Corporate, Apple
Technology relations with China and their human rights situation is turning into a hot-button issue lately, especially given Google's recent troubles with that country. Now, my old senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, has decided to raise the level of scrutiny, calling for a list of 30 companies, including Apple, to share information about their relationships in China with the companies there.
Durbin won't have to look far to find issues with Apple: there have been issues in the past with Foxconn and Wintek, two contractors that Apple uses for the majority of its products, and even a recent report commissioned by Apple found that factory conditions and pay scales weren't quite up to snuff. Still, Apple has always spoken out strongly in favor human rights, so hopefully a little bit of spotlight from queries like Durbin's will ensure that their actions match up.

Filed under: Humor, Video, iPhone
Don't even bother questioning why there is video of Jean-Luc Picard bashing Twitter and talking about his love for the iPhone, just watch and enjoy. Okay, okay, it's from a PBS interview designed to promote some of their Shakespeare programming, but that doesn't matter, really. All that matters is that Sir Patrick Stewart calls his "beautiful" iPhone "an extension of whom I am," in the way that only he can.
He also bashes gaming, but only because he says it's extremely addictive, so we'll let that one slide. Here's the really important question: Has anyone pointed out the Star Trek phaser [iTunes link] to him yet? What apps (besides the weather one, we guess) does he run on a daily basis?

Переслать - Why 4:3?
Filed under: Gaming, Hardware, Apple
Kirk McElhearn over at Macworld has attempted to answer the very first question I've had since I first heard that the iPad wasn't going to be in a widescreen format: Why 4:3? The answer: because for the majority of things you'll be using your iPad for, that's the right resolution you'll want. Magazines, books, the web, productivity, and so on, McElhearn argues that 4:3 is the right way to go.
Of course, taste plays a factor in there -- I prefer to browse the Internet on a widescreen monitor, actually, and I think games, which I'll be playing a lot of on my iPad when I eventually get one, tend to work better with a wider field of view. And let's be honest, the 4:3 ratio only allows Apple to start small and go with an "iPad XL" or an "iPad HD" in the future, widening the screen and perhaps even upping the resolution.
But McElhearn makes a good point that the 4:3 ratio has been Apple's home until only just recently, and for most objects that you hold in your hands and read like the iPad, from magazines to newspapers, the 4:3 ratio still fits. The ratio likely won't affect sales at all, but we'll have to see if movie watchers hold out for a better format for their media.TUAWWhy 4:3? originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:30:00 EST.

Переслать - iPad popular on Twitter, biggest complaint is no Flash
Filed under: Odds and ends, Internet Tools, Surveys and Polls
Attensity Group has published a study showing people's attitudes toward the iPad. Their methodology for the study is fairly interesting: They analyzed 20,000 tweets from Twitter two hours before the iPad announcement, another 20,000 two hours after, and another 15,000 four days later. Two bits of data from Attensity's study are particularly intriguing -- four days after the iPad's introduction, a full 69% of analyzed tweets expressed positive sentiments toward the iPad, with only 27% having negative feelings toward the device. So given a few days' space, the iPad proves pretty popular.
Out of the 27% of the twitterverse that disliked or even hated the iPad, what was their biggest complaint? Unsurprisingly, 41% of iPad haters cited its lack of Flash support as their number one gripe.
Of course, Twitter is a self-selecting group as well (I've seen spambots, geeks, and celebrities over there -- in roughly that order), so Attensity Group's analysis is probably not indicative of general public perception of the iPad. While the news media and the online tech community has been on fire all week about the "war" between Apple and Adobe over Flash, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that for average users, the iPad's lack of Flash support isn't going to deter people from purchasing one any more than it did for the iPhone or iPod touch. All the fervor over the Flash issue will eventually die away, but not because Apple's going to cave -- not if Steve Jobs has anything to say about it (and he does).
What do you think about Flash on the iPad? Give us your opinion in a poll by clicking on the "Read More" link below.
[Via Macsimum News]
There's been some extremely lively debate all over the internet on this issue, including here at TUAW. So far my general perception of things is there's been a roughly 50/50 split on Flash, with half of commenters being happy there's no Flash on the iPad or just not caring, and the other half being disappointed, annoyed, or outright angry about it. So let's have a (rather unscientific) poll of our own and see what you really think about Flash on the iPad.
