iChat AV nonsense

Last night my wife and I tried out iChat AV's video conferencing capabilities. It works very well, even all the way from the bedroom to the living room. (about 5 meters, really) Of course experimentations like this are highly dangerous (it is a beta, you know?) so we chose to use some crash test dummies for it...

Where I have been and how I scored a new PowerBook

Recent updates to this site have been sparse, mostly for one reason: I was stuck with a 400 Mhz ruby iMac a friend loaned me while my 500 Mhz PowerBook was at Apple for repairs. I really appreciated the loaner as it would at least allow me to get some work done and check my mail, but writing on it was rather awkward. Last Monday I got a call by Apple telling me they checked my PowerBook out and were going to replace it. Yesterday I went to pick it up and was pleasantly surprised...

WiFi/AirPort detector

Wouldn't it be cool if a gadget would let you know if you are in reach of a wireless network? This self made doodad looks quite promising. I certainly wouldn't mind having something like that...

Why I love my iPod so much (and now Nick Drake)

I was in bed just a couple of minutes ago trying to get back to sleep. I listened to my iPod playing a smart playlist of songs that I have on there, but are yet unrated, when I came across a song that had me jump out of bed and look up the artist.

Reuters: Apple to release online music distribution service

This article by Reuters sums up all the rumors that have been floating around for some time now. Frankly, I can't wait! I am already addicted to Audible.com and can't wait to have an easy, fast, cheap and also legal way to get music onto my iPod. Oh yeah... and there might be new iPods too. eBay here I come!

Apple Universal Music buy-out officially denied

According to this press release, the deal was never even proposed. Or was it? Steve doesn't say he is not talking to them, just that Apple has not made an offer.

LA Times: Apple to buy Universal's music division?

This has the potential to be huge! If there is one man that can re-invent the music industry it is Steve Jobs. He might be an egocentric maniac at times but he has proven over and over that he has the vision it takes to improve an already great product. Quite ironic though that he chose to show off the stock tracking features of Sherlock 3 at Expo Paris by showing how badly the Vivendi stocks where doing. Was he in talks already back then? Of course they do not exactly need to buy Universal's music division for this. They could also just go into the business of selling music for a fee. Only time (April 28th is what I hear) will tell.
