my "house" (apartment) is the reason i don't get any service. concrete walls and ceiling.

cutty, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 14:49 (thirteen years ago) link

thanks, house

max, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link

no thanks, house, actually

cutty, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 15:12 (thirteen years ago) link

i don't even get data coverage in my massive tiny, ivy-covered back porch

maybe it's an ivy issue

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 15:14 (thirteen years ago) link

non-issue. just use different ivy.

caek, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link

thanks, ivy

anybody use Slingbox or some sort of a similar product? lol @ how complicated this shit is

ksh, Monday, 5 July 2010 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link

all I want to do is to be able to hook something up to my Comcast box that's in one room and watch the TV on a Mac in the other room over our home network! is there an easy way to do this that isn't totally fucking crazy? i'm not installing any whacky open source maybe-this'll-work-if-you-whack-your-monitor-with-a-hammer-and-configure-10,000-obscure-settings blah blah blah

ksh, Monday, 5 July 2010 14:06 (thirteen years ago) link

that's exactly what slingbox is for, i think

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Monday, 5 July 2010 14:11 (thirteen years ago) link

okay, awesome. is that considered the best product to use for this kind of thing?

ksh, Monday, 5 July 2010 14:21 (thirteen years ago) link

slingbox is not complicated at all. if you can set up a router you can set up a slingbox.

cutty, Monday, 5 July 2010 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link

one month passes...

Omg only now have I discovered drop7. My husband and I are competing. He's at 23500 and I'm at 234700. hahahah

also getting the iphone4. There's a nine week waiting list here! fuck me!

Nathalie (stevienixed), Saturday, 28 August 2010 13:12 (thirteen years ago) link

Getting this in Paris this w-e I think. Fuck a waiting list

OK - when you search for something in itunes why does it default to the start of your library when you clear the search instead of remaining in the area of the selected song

and is there a way to fix that?

coco b ware (cozen), Sunday, 29 August 2010 10:17 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't know, it's completely idiotic. I never imagined I'd spend this much time being reminded of the French version of the A- Team soundtrack.

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 29 August 2010 10:38 (thirteen years ago) link

yesss that is a huge irritation

max, Sunday, 29 August 2010 23:38 (thirteen years ago) link

If you're playing the song you can apple-L to show it in the library. Pita tho.

The irony is that all post-modern, smugly self-referential retro porn aside, I'd gladly trade in my immaculately designed 21st century gadgets for these hideously clunky, faux-wood-paneled pieces of uber-kitsch. Sorry, Apple.

Apple's streaming today's keynote on apple.com \(^o^)/

markers, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link

only if you have 10.6 or iOS3 :_;

zappi, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:25 (thirteen years ago) link

jozam djinn (cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:26 (thirteen years ago) link

10.5.8
so close!

zappi, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link

web streaming come on a bit since i last watched one of these

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link

don't think i saw the last one, but i definitely saw the 2000 and 2001 ones

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link

woz = dude

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link

streaming quality is surprisingly good. speech is kinda dry, but i usually just read recaps of these speeches rather than watch them live

Nhex, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link

ok the new shuffle is cute

Nhex, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

rip last.fm

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, eek

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link

iPod classic is an unperson.

Ping looks like a halfway mash of Last.fm. They haven't shot iTunes in the head yet either

stet, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link

xps

stet, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link

actually, this looks p. good

stet, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link

MORE functionality in itunes

jozam djinn (cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link

got rid of CD in logo though so there's that

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link

guess itv refused to blink

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link

Won't this Ping™ thing only work with Official Legit RIAA-approved Non-Pirated iTunes Content™, though?

James Mitchell, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link

unless they refuse to make it work with CDs you rip yourself, i don't see how they can restrict it like that, assuming they'd want to

caek, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:01 (thirteen years ago) link

kept notes in logo though, p. good way to describe movies, tv shows, books, apps, iTunes U, photos, podcasts, iOS updates, syncing, and locking up

stet, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link

no way a social network for music will ever be popular

jozam djinn (cozen), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link

well that was fun

markers, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't going to be a new large-capacity iPod Touch. I had been holding out for a 120GB version.

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Seconded. I refuse to pick and choose what albums I can carry around with me. I need all of them goddamnit.

mayor jingleberries, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link

Hells yeah.

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:52 (thirteen years ago) link

So, is that the end of the Classic then?

scotstvo, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:10 (thirteen years ago) link

no, it's still up

former moderator, please give generously (DG), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link

I still don't understand why anybody would buy the AppleTV thing, though it's nice that it's smaller and cheaper, it just doesn't make any sense to me. As a device it seems practically purposeless.

The new nano is kind of ugly & makes the touch look much more compelling. Still nothing has really come along here yet that's exciting enough to get me to give up on my slightly broken second generation nano :(

Jeff LeVine, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link

The AppleTV is like the simplest thing ever, I say "I want to watch the new episode of House" or "I want to see that one episode of some old show" and a few remote clicks and a couple bucks later, there it is.

I download a lot of content from Teh BitTorrentz, and if I want to watch it on my TV, now I can just stream it onto an AppleTV box instead of worrying about syncing anything, or putting it onto some PS3 compatible format (CD, DVD, flash drive, etc.)

Shock and Awe High School (Phil D.), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 20:08 (thirteen years ago) link

you could also stream it directly to your computer or run it off your own hard drive
