What the hell Slashdot? You have to love a nerd news site that can't handle posting a tiny bit of code without frakking it all up. Screw Unicode support -- can we get some decent ASCII support sometime this decade?

Try again with some manual editing to make it fail a little less.

My VLC can play the first link (labeled Snow Leopard), for a little while, but drops the stream.

The "checkback" links all seem to indicate they are either not streaming live to non-Apple devices, or they ran into a "problem" and will start it later.

That's not "Yes," that's "No." If Ars is referencing The Inquirer, then there is no other original source than The Inquirer.

Ars said

On September 11, Intel Architecture Group Executive Vice President David Perlmutter told IDF attendees in his keynote...

The Inquirer said nothing about Perlmutter, so Ars isn't just referencing the Inquirer, so the "if" of your statement is false.

Perlmutter's keynote is about 58 minutes long, so I'm not about to dive into it right now, but maybe I'll dig into it a bit later.

Well the live stream is online, but you can't forward fast through it at all, meaning you have to sit through 45 minutes. I will shit a brick if they forgo physical media.

Hopefully someone posts a proper stream soon with proper controls.

I wouldnt dream of telling you how to run your engineering classes.

You mention the only way to learn engineering is "by doing". Your next sentence mentions "doing hard problems on paper". Surely there was a time when the John C Dvorak's of the world would have scoffed at THAT technical aid, "bah, you have to cut down all the trees, and loggers die all the time felling them, not to mention processing the pulp into flat sheets, oh, and I spose you'll want them bleached the same exact shade of white, sold in packs of 500 at a time..."

I'll repeat this part of my second comment:

If you havnt seen the iPad 2 event video, I highly enjoyed it. The sections about doctors and teachers using iPads was very emotional. Its probably easiest to download the video as a podcast, I dragged it out of iTunes, renamed "m4v" to "mp4", and watched it in Quicktime. http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1103pijanbdvaaj/event/index.html [iPad 2 event]

One video shown at the presentation has teachers giving out iPads to young children, they are having a great time learning basic skills. It also shows autistic children learning, and one mothers story about how her son really engages with the iPad, that hes learnt to be more self sufficient through working on it. Its very heart warming, and it shows how tablets really are the present and future of accessible computing.

Of course the video also shows older children, and students at work too. I liked the medical sections, with doctors conversing with patients, it would be great for bed side manner, as they show scans, results, explain procedures through apps.... The list is endless, anything that could be done through that beloved paper, all fifty bits of it to shuffle through, and more.

I live in Invercargill, New Zealand, near the very bottom of the world. A recent edition of a local newspaper mentioned one school "not able to afford a laptop per student". It also had mention of another school where EVERY child received an iPad (first gen, days before the iPad 2 announcement!), about how trial programs at this school in a rough area were so encouraging that they went ahead with a full rollout of the tablets. Its working in Apple PR videos, its working here, at the other side of the world in my rural city of 50,000.

We'll see in time how things go for all students. I'm optimistic.

Sounds very antiquated, I'd imagine for *most* students, a sort of "learning by rote", never to be revisited.

Whats the point in just taking up the required time, when students could be *learning* in class? Hence more tests etc, applications could easily handle this, and for all age groups on the same hardware. Multiple choice, answers to be typed in and marked by teachers. Imagine how fast teachers could grade each individual answer if all they needed to do was say "turn in your papers", if necessary the Teachers app could actually see what any student had on their version of the App, and they could either "tick or cross" (if you wanted to be "cute"), or choose boxes, was that sentence right, or was it wrong? None of this "turning in your papers, I'll stay up until midnight marking" malarky!

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1103pijanbdvaaj/event/index.html

Sure, watch the streaming video. :P

If it was a test, it can't possibly have been very taxing, since the video delivery was via edgesuite (akamai) - you could stream video to the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of users from just one single server that delivers a single stream to edgeduite/akamai/limelight/other CDNs. URL was http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1009qpeijrfn/1240/1240_090110_094007_725.ts

The video of the event is up: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/100716iab73asc/event/index.html

Apple has posted both a video of the Press Conference, and a DETAILED explanation of their testing of their, and their competitors' phones.

But now, let's watch all the Apple-Haters come out and say "They rigged the tests!" in 3...2...1

Yes, they allow the Settings application to run in the background. As shown by The Jobs himself in the event video...

With the iPad, not only will we need to buy all these stupid little 5 dollar apps, but it will still be tethered to a regular computer running iTunes.

For what? Not for initial device activation, app loading, app purchasing, media purchasing/browsing/playback, content creation, USB connectivity, SD Card reading, LAN nor WAN connectivity, et FUCKING cetera. For fuck's sake, you don't even need a "regular computer" for 3G activation. It even has an accessory full-sized physical QWERTY keyboard/dock combo accessory (or you can use a BT keyboard)

Did you even watch the iPad Keynote?

While I am personally quite excited about using the iPad with VNC to work in conjunction with my "regular computer", for a large percentage of applications, a computer simply isn't necessary.

And further, there is much evidence to support the conclusion that Apple is working hard to make iPad a more general-purpose platform.

You didn't get teh nota? Annonymous handshake

Let's see a show of hands: Who wants to be able to give their PARENTS something they can use to browse the web, email, display pictures and video, and read the occasional book/magazine/newspaper, WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE FREE TECH-SUPPORT FOR LIFE?

I thought so... Well that's EXACTLY what the iPad will bring to us geek family-members.

Jeezus! For a bunch of so-called "tech-savvy" readers, /.ers are some of the most anti-change people around...

BTW, have you ever tried to actually USE a "laptop" computer in your lap while seated on typical livingroom furniture (recliner, couch, etc.)? There is NOTHING comfortable about it!

Go back and watch the Keynote. Notice that most of the hands-on was done SITTING IN THE COMFY CHAIR. That wasn't done because Steve-o gets tired standing up. He was demonstrating exactly WHY this is a "game changing" device.

And it is... Or rather, will be...

Quite frankly, this is the device I've been wanting for the past 20 years or so. What it can't deliver on it's own, my computer will sure be able to through a nice VNC client like > this, or this or this running on the iPad!

Now if only VNC supported AUDIO... Seriously, what's up with that???

From everything I've seen it only relates to multi-core processors. To be more specific, I think that most of the real savings are only being realized on Intel's latest processors because only the latest processors support the power saving features that are being leveraged by Win7 and WS08R2.

http://intelstudios.edgesuite.net/idf/2009/sf/ti/day1/ss/f.htm

It's a long video. In short, Intel Nehalem processors are the way to go if you're looking for power savings from MS OSes.

So far, I've got:

The last one is the most obnoxious. It's a full animated windows file explorer showing a fake virus scan (positive of course). It's kinda funny to watch it on a Linux machine though but it's a bit difficult to get it to close and stay closed.

One way to attack this: copyright infringement. This image that they serve up to Safari users is, according to Photoshop, identical to file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/compass.icns which is surely copyrighted by Apple. This won't necessarily shut them down but it would draw some attention and maybe hurt them financially a bit.

I would imagine that their use of the Apple-designed Safari logo (it is stored on their server at http://assist.infospace.com.edgesuite.net/bellassist/pics/compass.png) is an infringing use of Apple's intellectual property, especially if it is designed to appear as though Safari itself generated the message and cause confusion as to the source of the message.

Get Apple legal's hounds on Bell and see what happens.

Is it this one? And did it cost you 99 cents?

A bit more info, once you download that firmware open up iTunes and hold down option (shift for you windows users) and click the "Check for Update" button - it will now ask you where the file is. Updating mine as I type this, I'll post how it went when it's done.

Oh and direct link since I'm a whore: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-4955.20080710.bgt53/iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw

I look at it in a completely different way, its incredibly flattering. They're still the ones who made it happen. Jobs just held them to the usual Apple standard, perfection.

As fro the keynotes, I've never been to one either. Apple always posts the keynote videos for the most recent keynote for months on their website until the next keynote comes along. Here it is for you:
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html

Another reason by the way Apple doesn't point out the names of key engineers or lets them do interviews is to reduce the likelihood that they can be poached by competitors. It also gets everyone onboard with the mindset that talking to the media without approval just isn't done at Apple and this helps keep down on product leaks.

It's not hard to dig up the names, but I'd like just once to hear Apple just come out and say "we'd like to thank these guys for making it possible."

You mean like when Steve asked the people who worked on the iPhone to stand up at the end of his WWDC 2008 keynote address and asked the audience to applaud them. He also even named some of them. You mean like that?

They still don't have any Zappa albums on iTunes except for this one, I don't know what the heck it is: http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewAlbum%253Fid%253D209492520%2526s%253D143455

yes, it's just memtest, yes we can get it on our own... but apple, where's the modified source?

there are many more interesting(?) things you can glean from running strings on the non-encrypted but non-functioning (for me) disk image.

As a story here recently pointed out, Steve Jobs does not even acknowledge that Firefox exists

That's funny. I could have sworn I heard him talk about it in the WWDC 2007 keynote and that there was a bar for it in the performance graph for Safari 3

Yeah I noticed that in the WWDC keynote also. My precise thought was "WTF?!" Here's a link to the talk. The pie chart is at 01:07 or so. I'm a huge Apple fanboy, but man, they can have my OSS when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. If Steve Jobs thinks he's going to get me to start using Apple products when there's a perfectly great OSS alternative, he's sadly mistaken. I think Apple makes great products, but making a great products simply doesn't compare to having freedom and great products at the same time in my eyes.

a $3000 phone that plays mp3s and has a calendar

nice try. to get to $3000 over 2 years, you are assuming that it'll cost $100/month to use the iphone. by that reasoning, the new treo is a $2800 phone since the phone itself is $400. and fyi, cingular offers an unlimited data plan for smartphones for $20/month: http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-service//cell-p hone-plans/smartphone-connect-plans.jsp

I think it should be possible to convert the stream to a file, perhaps using Mplayer or similar but I can't find the appropriate executable to call from the command-line in the Mplayer.app binary I just downloaded. If anyone has any joy with this I'd love to see a torrent of a single movie file of the presentation, so I can actually enjoy watching it.

I'm sure it used to be possible to watch Steve's keynotes live on the web. Or maybe it's just that when I used to work full-time I was able to avoid commentary on them until after I'd watched them. In any case, reading about a keynote just spoils it for me - there's something about the show I enjoy.

Stroller.

You are right, they are not supposed too. In the pressurized water nuclear reactor world, this concept is known as a "hot channel". The theoretical part of the core with worst case of both lowest primary coolant flow and the highest neutron flux (caused by highest contrentration of fuel loading and lowest concentrations of neutron poisons). This concept is one of the design criteria for the nuclear fuel plates.
I guess AMD does not have the same design and testing criteria for thier chips ;)

I suspect that the Windows version of iTunes uses a port of WebKit to render the iTMS although I can't verify that.

You suspect incorrectly. The Mac version of iTunes doesn't use WebKit either. The iTunes Music Store does use HTTP, but it does not use HTML. This might interest you; that's linked from here.

Barry Norton writes "Steve Jobs, at the MacWorld tradeshow, boasted: 'the new iMac [with] Intel processor is two to three times faster than the iMac G5.'

No, that's not what he said, stop twisting his words to set up a straw man you can then revel in knocking down. If you watch Jobs' full keynote presentation you'll see that he specifically compares only processor benchmarks, not system benchmarks. He even made the disclaimer: "Now everything's not gonna run 2 to 3 X faster, you know the disks aren't 2 to 3 X, etc., but on the most important benchmarks, [the Core Duo] is 2 to 3 times faster [than the G5]."

Some of the Rev. A iMac G5s sounded like a jet taking off, but it appears they fixed it in later revs. I want to get one of these bad boys, but only if they are silent.

It's probably relevant here what Jobs had to say in the keynote address about power consumption of these Intel processors versus the PowerPC G5 processors Apple was using. When you compare computing power versus electrical power used (bang for the watt), the Intel Core Duo processors' ratio of computing power to watts is something like 4.5 times as good as the G5.

Combine that with the fact that they say the Intel processors they're using are 2-3 times faster than the G5s, and if you do the math, it would seem that even though they are faster machines, they are using about 35-55% less electricity than the G5s did. And of course, using less electricity translates directly into producing less heat. And that translates into less noise.

  The Intel(c) CoreTM Duo Processor includes support for Intel(c) Virtualization Technology which is a set of hardware enhancements to Intel server and client systems that combined with the appropriate software, will enable enhanced virtualization robustness and performance for both enterprise and consumer uses.

So, how many of these artists have already made the transition to iTunes? To anyone that might have content on mp3.com: take a look at the iTunes model. You might find a new home for your works.

For example, I can promote a new band I just discovered, Zero 7 by providing a link like this, which should go directly into the iTMS.

What you'll have to do is find an iTunes Music Store Partner. Individual artists will not be able to add their content. However, I think I read somewhere that cdbaby was working on becoming one. Try contacting them.
