OK, so I know I read somewhere that there is a difference, but I don't remember what it is. I just put a USB plug into my soundcart and it can charge most things with a USB connection, except my Iphone. What's different about the Iphone USB connection ? Anyone know if it would be the same with the Iphone 4S ?

From the US public-radio show Marketplace comes this story: The story begins with a factory just outside of Shanghai. It's three football fields long; it's blue and gray; and it's owned by the Taiwanese company Kaedar Electronics. In August, environmental groups released a report saying Kaedar's factory was emitting toxic levels of pollution. The report also said the company was making products for Apple -- which is notorious for keeping its supply chain secret. The report said the pollution was so bad that it was making people in a nearby village sick. So, I went there. You can listen or read the story and see some pictures here: http://www.marketpla...…

More on potential television product from Apple: Rumor: Apple television expected in mid-2012, initial production slated for February Posted by: Chris Barylick Date: Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011, 13:00 Category: Rumor Apple didn’t do the “Inc.” and “lifestyle company” change for nothing. Per AppleInsider, commercial production of Apple’s anticipated television set is expected to begin in February at a Sharp plant in Japan, while competing HDTV makers are reportedly desperate to find out just what Apple plans to sell. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said in a note to investors this week that Apple is expected to partner with Sharp for …

How do I transfer audio files to a PC via USB port wire from iphone recorded with FiRe? FiRe is a better (free) recorder than the built in Voice Memo as it has a volume slider. You can also buy a $ 30 STEREO CHEPO MIKE THAT PLUGS CONVENIENTLY INTO THE iphone. Voice memo though has a emailer built in. In order to combat piracy Apple does not allow for iOS device -> computer transfers via the USB cable. Have you tired using Bonjour in Safari? To access your FiRe recordings with Bonjour in Safari: 1 Launch FiRe on your iPhone/iPod and turn on Browser Access. 2 Open Safari on the PC and click the book icon in the upper-left corner of the browser window (it…

I have a router/modem problem with our iMac which I just can't seem to shake. I will attempt to describe... When I open a page on Safari and do tasks, everything works fine until you stop using the computer for about five minutes. At this point Safari seems to freeze and won't do any tasks. It then tries to reload the page and comes up with a message that 'Safari cannot load page/contact server ect, ect'. If I turn Airport off and then on again, the page reloads and Safari works fine, until you leave it for about five minutes when the whole freezing thing repeats again. It seems as though the iMac goes offline or loses contact with the modem/router and w…

Apple has put the previous version of its Final Cut Studio video editing suite back on sale after a mixed reception to the new and completely redesigned Final Cut X. Word has it that Apple had issued a memo this afternoon announcing re-availability of the product. It has been confirmed with an Apple telesales representative at 800-MY-APPLE that Final Cut Studio, part number MB642Z/A, is again available for $999 (and $899 for educational customers). The product is only available through the 800-number and is not available in Apple Retail Stores or on the Apple Online Store.

My dear friend Tom Holman has been hired by Apple to head up all things AUDIO for the company. You can read one of the articles: HERE Notice as well that this is a link to one of the experimental sites I have been working on to possibly replace this site. The post to the forum on that site demonstrates one of the things I like about it: you can paste a web page directly into the message composition area and it preserves the whole page with links and everything (something not possible with this SMF forum).

From Reuters... Steve Jobs resigns as CEO, named chairman SAN FRANCISCO | Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:43pm EDT (Reuters) - Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs on Wednesday resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc in a stunning move at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage. The 55-year-old Apple co-founder and pancreatic cancer survivor has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since January 17. Apple said Steve Jobs has been elected chairman and Tim Cook has been elected CEO. http://www.reuters.c...E77N82K20110824 http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/24/jobs-resigns-as-apple-ceo-to-stay-as-chairman/ --------------------------…

The Wall Street Journal reports that Sprint will offer the iPhone 5 when it launches later this year, becoming the third U.S. carrier to offer the iPhone. According to the report, the iPhone 5 will launch simultaneously on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T in "mid-October". Sprint Nextel Corp. will begin selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October, people familiar with the matter said, closing a huge hole in the No. 3 U.S. carrier's lineup and giving Apple Inc. another channel for selling its popular phone. The timing, however, indicates Apple's new iPhone will hit the market later than expected and too late to contribute to sales in the company's fiscal fourth quarter, w…

The Santa Monica Dispatch's Peggy Clifford attended yesterday's Santa Monica Planning Commission meeting and reports that Apple's new Third Street Promenade building was quickly approved, without even discussion. "The surprise was that the staff put the project on the Consent Calendar. I cannot remember any large, complex commercial project ever going on the Consent Calendar. Apple was the only item on last night’s Calendar. And, under the rules, the Consent Calendar is approved as a whole – unless someone wishes to pull at item for discussion". And in that crucial blink, the commissioners approved the Consent Calendar (aka Apple Glass House), and that was t…

More images, site plans and floor plans for Apple's new Cupertino Campus. Full article and .pdf's available HERE "It's a pretty amazing building. It's a little like a spaceship landed. It's got this gorgeous courtyard in the middle... It's a circle. It's curved all the way around. If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It's all curved. We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. And, we want to make the glass specifically for this building here. We can make it c…

These are strange times. Bloomberg just reported that Apple is now slightly more valuable (at least for its market cap) than Exxon/Mobil, making it -- technically -- the most valuable corporation in the world. Their stock is also at an all-time high, closing in on $400 a share. It wasn't that long ago that they were struggling at 1/10th that, not many years ago. I know pundits could argue, "and if Apple just cut their prices about 15-20%, they'd sell more stuff, have more modest profits, and still be the #2 biggest company in the world." I see good and bad with this, but I'm glad to see somebody's making money in this economy. Full story at this link: …

I finally broke down and got my iPad2. Yes, I'm enjoying it. I am a big believer in getting a sturdy protective case for items like this. However, I'm curious how other users are carrying their iPads around; aside from a carrying bag. I've heard several horror stories of accidental drops and screen cracking. I know it's cool to carry this rather light unit around 'bare naked'. I buy the Otter Box brand. I have one protecting my HTC Evo 4G, Android phone. I've done the same for my iPad2, getting the "Defender Series" case. The cover also doubles as a support stand. You can buy it direct from Otter Box at their full price of $89.95, (over priced) or be…

It is well known now that the traditional method of scrolling in Lion will be REVERSED from the behavior we have all gotten accustomed to for probably the last 15 or 20 years of computer use. We can spend a lot of time debating the logic or philosophy behind the act of scrolling the contents of a window but it is clear that Apple has made a global decision that changes a lot of this thinking. from Macworld website: According to Apple, "When you scroll or swipe in Lion, content now moves in the same direction as your finger." In other words, drag two fingers downward on a MacBook's trackpad or Apple's Magic Trackpad — or spin your mouse's scroll wheel towards you…
