This seems to cover not only iTunes but WinAMP, FooBar2000, and just about any other player that can organize music and play only selected artists, albums, or genre's.
This my friends is why we don't like software patents.
i will repeat the statement i made in another branch of this thread.
is give not a verb? So how is it that "advice to give" is not the correct form?
so you're saying you need 2 verbs to say this? give is a verb, so "advice" is the noun, the thing you are giving. as such advice in my eyes appears to be the correct form of this, not advise. however i could be wrong, but that is my thinking on it.
is "give" not a verb? You're "giving" advice... so should that not be a noun? a person, place, or thing (just to keep things simple).. so.. you're giving advice... give is the verb, advice is the noun.
With the way the economy is going here in the united states it wouldn't surprise me if piracy went up. This country is turning into a country that sells things and doesn't make things. But you can only sell so much stuff, so jobs are in the crapper and instead of making good wages people are making a lot less. Michigan is horrible at the moment. it's really quite sad. i love software companies that provide student discounts. I have a feeling that is a very large portion of software piracy right there. There's no way a student can afford the ever increasing price of tuition and buy a computer and buy software too.
now factor in the part where businesses what you to have experience in something, but you can't get experience without the education, or the tools to even learn. ok so products that have a high learning curve... they are still typically very expensive. with the exception of Maya who offers the free educational version. i'd like to give those guys at alias a big thank you for that one. They really understand that their product is one that needs to be out there for people to learn on. if only more companies did this or sold their educational versions for a reasonable price... ie.. less than $100.. anything more and most of us cannot afford it.
just my opinion obviously.. i wouldn't know half of what i know now without piracy.
well i won't say it would require a big fuck up by google. google spread as a word of mouth thing for me. everyone i knew was proclaiming "google rocks" and "google is the best search engine i've ever used" and that's how google became as big as it did. of course it wouldn't have gotten the fanfare without being good at what it does. it seems that now we get this fake hype about other search engines but they can't deliver. all it would take to dethrone google is someone to actually be BETTER and come up with an innovative way of showing you the results. google did it with small ads but for the most part stayed out of your face. now if others jump on that bandwagon it could trouble for google if they pull off something good. lately i've been hearing yahoo isn't so bad at what it does now. but.... it's so cluttered i refuse to use it.
besides.. gmail, google, adsense, picasa, maps.google.com... sorry but google continues to be innovative.. i say good luck to anyone who wants to compete now. google has proven it can innovate and do it consistantly time and time again.
I still use google exclusively. i never even try other search engines because google finds what i need right away. as long as it does that then i won't be switching. not to mention the stay outta your face ads and clutter of other search engines. google has a clean interface, finds the stuff i'm looking for, and stays out of your face. works great for me!
The more I look at microsoft and bill gates the more i think the company as a whole is on it's way out. They're behind in the trends, they don't quite "get it" on all fronts. The iPod is sticking around whether he likes it or not, in fact it seems like Apple is ahead of Microsoft here on the mobile phone front, the iTunes phone is supposedly coming out in June. When will Microsofts implementation come out? Around the time of longhorn? so... probably not this decade. We'll see, but I see myself wanting another iPod when and if my iPod dies. Simple as that.
That's why i switched to Opera. the ram usage and responsiveness of the interface is great. it took a little getting used to, but i use Opera on my windows machine, safari on my mac, and firefox in linux. granted i got opera for $20 with the edu pricing.
Many of us who preordered will not be getting ours today due to a delay somewhere along the line. I preordered on the 12th within hours of it becoming available and while other people were getting theirs early and people who ordered after me got theirs, i still haven't gotten mine. Apple emailed a lot of customers saying there was a delay and that it should ship "today." I think this is the last time i preorder from Apple, they promise and can't follow through. what a disappointment.
However GDS is kinda flawed. It isn't built into the filesystem end of the OS, meaning if updates are made, google doesn't know about it until it goes and checks on it's own. this could mean that some files could be out of date. when you search for it in GDS. bad news. Spotlight and WinFS go one step further and provide up to date info because they know when a file is updated, added, or deleted.
I grew up with an NES and an original GB. I love nintendo and people can claim they produce little kid games but in the end i find their puzzles and games way more entertaining than what the other consoles provide. They actually tend to make me think and therefore i test myself. I can't say the same for a lotof the 3rd party games but nintendo's own games are top notch. the systems were also amazing, i loved all the controllers more than the competitors controllers (minus the N64 controller, while it was nice it was a bit hard to hang onto for longer periods of time. however the GameCube controller rocks, so much so i bought an adapter for lik sang for the computer to use the GC controller on it.
I will buy the nintendo console no matter what. i may buy a PS3 but i refuse to buy an XBox because they threaten to remove nintendo from the playing field. They just have too much money to bully nintendo around with. Faster releases, they take the loss but produce the console with the best graphics, leaving nintendo who recoups costs over longer periods. which is fairly standard now in the industry.
The only problem with Google Desktop Search is that the results can become out of date. If a file is deleted and Google Desktop Search hasn't noticed then a search will show that file as available but when in reality it isn't. But since Spotlight is so tied in with the operating system then it knows when files are added or delete and as such can add or delete data from the database as changes occur.
glad i could kinda help:-P TextWrangler rocks if you haven't given that a try. Vim is cool though, i kinda wish there was a nice graphical version for OS X
Since Java is built in they're probably just trying to get all the Cocoa bindings and stuff fixed up for 1.5. It WILL be released probably shortly after Tiger. It just wasn't as big of a deal, most apps use 1.4 anyway so out of the box almost all apps should work as they did in 10.3, 1.5 might break a few apps, so until it's stabilized i am thinking they are just going to stick to 1.4 until they are sure it won't cause lots of problems for end users. Give it another month tops and you'll probably see it.
I say their loss. If they're too strung up with windows to consider other options that very well could provide more stability and better service for a cheaper price then that's their loss. That's alright the others who do realize this will have an advantage when it's all said and done.
Agreed. I haven't had any problems with Steam. In fact it works great for me. I just wish i had a faster computer so i could play HL2 with more than 640x480 resolution:-P.
Because it's kind cool to have it available even if you don't have net access? Because it's nice to support a good cause? Because it might just be cool to have a cheap dvd of the first publicly made encyclopedia to show your kids in 15 years, "hey look at this encyclopedia" which in 15 years time might be common place? There's a ton of reasons, I'd do it just to give a little money to the fund and have something cool to show for it.
The title of his blog has been "So Sue Me" for much longer than the release of this iTMS hack. it has nothing to do with Apple, all of his releases since the DVD Decryption hack have been announced on his blog "So Sue Me."
I'm going to mention it here but someone else has already brought up the so sue me title...
The title of the blog was So Sue Me long before Jon went after iTunes Music Store like this. It's not something he's saying to Apple, ever since the DVD DMCA thing he has had this blog titled that way. Don't get the idea he's got that title in there JUST to spite Apple.

think about it.
"what advice should i give them?" "what advise should i give them?"
which one sounds correct? Yea.. good job, he was right, you're wrong.
hah.. i agree, his stuff reminds me of that stupid hackers movie. totally off base and wannabe crap.

You can use any external editor you want. SubEthaEdit or TextWrangler. You can probably set it up to use vi very easily.

except who has the bigger market share? Apple, meaning they'll be the bigger target.
