As a control pad for music software it's incredibly useful.
I can change settings, record enable etc on my main rig directly from the recording room, or anywhere in the studio/concert hall.
That's also the only one I can think of that's unique to the iPad. Use in hospitals, maybe? On construction sites? I dunno.
the iPad is not a laptop. It’s not nearly as good for creating stuff. On the other hand, it’s infinitely more convenient for consuming it — books, music, video, photos, Web, e-mail and so on.
I know it's not his case, but if you use Logic Studio, made by Apple, then you are actually locked into Apple from all sides.
OTOH the Apple HW/SW combo is so complete and solid for music production that you just don't mind.
I work live and in studio on a MacBook unibody with Logic Studio and, apart from audio cards and interfaces, never need anything else to produce music. Which is a very good thing.
The big labels are almost exclusively distribution industries. What they create is almost exclusively a "product", ie an abominy that has nothing to do with music and everything to do with selling the product to the largest demographic.
The music as we know it (or knew it) is still being born and created as it always has been: from talented musicians that bust their balls and sweat their way to getting heard by as much people as possible. What happens then is they get signed to a label. But it's almost always a small indie spring-board label, that will get a bit more people to hear their music. Then, if they are really good (but mostly if they sell enough) they'll get picked up by the big guys since they have proven to be a product.
So, in all, I'm happy to see the big guys die since they don't really create anything of value, except a distribution infrastructure. But we already have the web.
I don't know much about garbage, but 1.400 tons doesn't sound like an enormous number, considering the USA produces 220 milion tons a year.
Plus, it seems like a simple problem of foul play between companies, why does the government get involved?
I know waste disposal is a huge problem, but this sounds like attention-whoring.
The money in your wallet probably has trace amounts of cocaine, too.
I remember reading about a test done in Ireland a couple of years ago on the presence of cocaine on banknotes, in percentage of the total number of notes.
It was 100%.

So, for example, Amazon could pay x thousand dollars to, let's say, Stephen King for a new novel, give it away for free on their website and make money off of ads and other purchases, like hard copies of the book, merchandising et al.
The Bay is still off-limits from Rome, Italy (Alice provider, the biggest on the market).
The ban got a lot of (narrow-minded and misinformed) media coverage, the appeal got none. Hope things change.
from TFA:
"This is a welcome announcement which makes a clear statement that drawings or computer-generated images of child abuse are as unacceptable as a photograph.
"It adds to the range of measures to help ensure the safeguarding of children and young people."
I hate paedophiles as much as anyone, but there is something seriously wrong with phrases like these; is the UK government starting to condemn intentions and comparing drawings to real child abuse?
Apple has a big hole in their lineup, IMHO. That is the mid-sized tower... basically a headless iMac. Apple should just sell one They would never do that because they're afraid that a large part of high-end, high-margin Mac Pro buyers would then switch to low-margin mid-range, thus lowering Apple's margin profits.
The point is that Apple *needs* the Beatles catalogue. It's a question of prestige, marketing power and looks. I guess a lot of people will buy the Beatles' songs, but many more people will go "hey, they've got Beatles in their catalogue now, which means they must be the best and I should choose them over [insert music download service here]".
Of course, Apple Inc can and will market the hell out of it too.

Maybe we'll get Zach Galifianakis as Shepherd.
I applaud you on various levels.
I mean, I know I'm not supposed to, but come on...
/. you're not even trying anymore.

I think he hit the nail on the head there.

But that's the same technique Cereal Killer used to hack the Gibson!

At least with the xbox you only have to worry about 'trivial' stuff like pulled muscles and heart attacks
And broken TVs. Remember the wiimotes? Now it's gonna be your foot.

Gee, ya think?
Make a graphic novel. Please. Even a webcomic.
So, for example, Amazon could pay x thousand dollars to, let's say, Stephen King for a new novel, give it away for free on their website and make money off of ads and other purchases, like hard copies of the book, merchandising et al.
It actually seems like a good plan.
Indubitably.
but unless you can remove the biomass from the rest of the biosphere
Kill the wales!

Beautiful.

So this legislation is supposed to deliver a non-discriminating society, where the privacy of our genetic information is sacred?
Color me cynical.
I saw the pictures of a barren landscape and my jaw fell in total awe... I was never so excited about pictures of dirt.
