New iPhone 4 1 2 3 4
by Jeff Wexler- 75 replies
- 10k views
I think the new iPhone 4 (and the new iOS that runs it) is pretty amazing. I really enjoyed watching the Apple video, particularly the shots of the manufacturing process, materials used, and the result. I know there are those that criticize Apple, and specifically Steve Jobs, for putting aesthetics, feel and form before function, but I really appreciate the attention to those details. I know I'm not alone, people would not be buying these things if they didn't also perform "insanely great"! Watch the video on the Apple site (Courtney, be patient, Quicktime will load eventually)

I've finally been approved by Apple to sell my bloop slate app, and it's available on the App store as of today! I have a demo video at: rhttp://rakeshanderson.com/bloopbox/ Please let me know what you think about the app. The demo video is a little cheesy, but it shows how it works. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Apple has more than $76 billion in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet. That's a lot of scratch. Moolah. Bones. You get my point.

That's since I got one about four weeks ago. Technologically, of course, great, it does it all. I tricked myself into believing I need one because of the smart Lectro remote thing. Sure, it all works nicely. But if we could see ourselves from the past, from when there were no iPhones (and imitators), see us now, staring at these little things in our hand, pressing and swiping our fingers on its glass, always with our heads downward, necks bent, maybe we'd realize that the way the iPhone "changed the world" might not be an exclusively good one.

In a manner befitting the popular tech company, the following invitations were sent out today by Apple for a special event this upcoming September 9th: They are expected to announce their new line of iPhones (a 4.7" and possibly a 5.5" iPhone), as well as their first product in the wearable technology market, popularly referred to by the crowds as the "iWatch".

I thought that I was going to be angry that they removed all the ports and just kept four usb-c's. But I am actually pretty pleased with the new MacBook pros. I think apple did a great job improving my favourite computer.

It's free, works with their wireless timecode receivers (or any LTC timecode source). Looks good as a display for numbers on a cart, scripty, or other non-frame accurate timecode needs (I'm sure the software is solid, but limitation of latency of iPad screen refresh rate? Need to test...). There are some slate applications out there that charge a lot of money for this feature.

Amazing end to a complex, lengthy trial: a jury has ruled that Samsung will have to pay Apple over a billion dollars for stealing product ideas and patents for the iPhone. To me, the evidence that surfaced, showing a lot of Samsung's internal memos where they had meetings specifically talking about how to make their icons more rounded and shaded like Apple's, clearly tell me that they stole from Apple's products. Take a look: Apple's stock just hit $675 today (8/24), so apparently the financiers agree with the decision. I hope Apple kicks them to the curb. I really detest it when people steal unique, creative ideas like this and think they can get awa…

So is it really faster than Mountain Lion? Can we still install apps from sources different from the AppStore? Anybody's got it yet?

hi. I suppose Beats Headphones will be the new industry standard for sound recording after Apple bought the company.

My six year old dumb phone may be on it's last leg and a replacement looks imminent. I've held off purchasing a smart phone for years because the last thing I want is a "yuppie status badge" and a carrier holding a gun to my head with their data package. Ahhh . . . I feel better getting that off my chest. That being said I know smartphones are a great tool and the time has come for me to maintain better contact with my crew members. Should I get a new iPhone5 or the iPhone 4S? Features aren't super important to me, but best value-- not necessarily cheapest cost--for technology and ease of keeping in touch are what's important. Any input greatly appreciate…

Almost one entire year ago, there was a thread about "underage" Chinese factory workers making Apple products, and I was inspired to write some song parody lyrics to the tune of Tennessee Ernie Ford's classic labor song, "16 Tons". Mike Filosa, Crew Chamberlain, and Tom Taylor encouraged me to do something with it, and it took me an entire fucking year to produce the music video for what is now the song parody "16 Yuan". It's not about bashing Apple, it's about the conspicuous consumerism and colonialist attitudes that feed this side of that Chinese factory equation. Most of all it's a song parody, because I'm reasonably sure that's the most protected by law...lol. …

Apple on Tuesday announced a brand-new redesign of the Mac mini, its low-cost desktop system. Besides an entirely new form factor, the new mini now sports an HDMI video port, a new graphics processor, and an SD card slot. Mac Mini at the Apple site I was seriously hoping that there would be a new Mac Mini that my son could use for his video DJ graphics work. He is grappling with the whole move to digital video throughput with the mini displayport. Now, none of the Macs have support for analog composite video output. An outboard converter is needed to take in any of the digital signals from mini displayport and now HDMI and convert to analog video to feed legacy proj…

They released the first update to Final Cut X . Added a few features to makeup for all the ones they left out. However it still sounds like you have to jump through some hoops to transfer a project from FCP 7 to FCP X. Here's a link to a story. http://news.cnet.com/8301-27076_3-20108584-248/final-cut-pro-x-gets-first-big-update-and-a-free-trial/ Anyone downloaded the update and tested it yet?
