If you enjoy listening to a good story, and I think you do, give a listen to the latest episode of "This American Life." Its a superb storytelling performance by Mike Daisey as he visits the Apple factory in China. Also as interesting is Mike's voice and nuanced delivery.

I found this application called evernote. It keeps all my computers and iphone updated with any lists or collection of data that i need to have close at hand. I loaded it with all my needed cheat sheets and manuals for all my gear. It keeps a running tally of my current projects and will even organize and integrate pictures into my lists. Whenever i make a change to any of my "notebooks" it automatically syncs to all my devices. It is free and i love it http://www.evernote.com/ john.

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?

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.

Thursday September 30, 2010 10:33 AM EST Written by Eric Slivka Hardmac reports that Apple's plans for a thorough overhaul of its Final Cut Studio have "suffered significant setbacks" that will see a release pushed back to 2011 from a rumored goal of a 2010 launch and result in significantly scaled-back changes to the professional-level video production software package. A few months ago we told you that Apple were hoping to release a new version of their Final Cut Studio suite in 2010. It now seems likely that this target has been missed according to one of our sources. The development of this software suite has suffered significant setbacks and it will be necessary …

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/01/project-hijack-uses-iphone-audio-jack-to-make-cheap-sensors.ars Hijacking Power and Bandwidth from the Mobile Phone's Audio Interface - Integrated Prototype "Project HiJack is a hardware and software platform for enabling communication between a small, low-power peripheral and an iDevice. The system uses a 22kHz audio signal, which is converted into 7.4mW of power at 47 percent efficiency. That power runs a TI MSP430 microcontroller as well as any attached electronics, and allows the HiJack to communicate with an iOS application. The components to build a HiJack cost as little as $2.34 in significant quantities." -- Jan

Thought you guys would have a suggestion. I play music through the aux channel/headphone out of my iphone. While playing with various car chargers I always get a pretty noise ground loop (not sure what to call when a car is involved). I drive a newer car so don't think it's crappy power. I assume most non audio people don't hear it. Any recommendations?

Is anyone out there using a netbook hackintosh for simple file management or non-critical playback? I recently got OSX running on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v and so far it appears to work pretty well. A 10" laptop with 6-hour battery that fits on a cart nicely and can be found used for less than the price of a lavalier mic. Is this all too good to be true?

I was in one of my local Radio Shack stores today (a "re-designed" one --- they've closed the others) and I saw the rather extensive and new display for Beats headphones, speakers and accessories. There were about 8 different styles you could try on and listen to program material ("music", maybe?) --- the interesting thing was, all the headphones were displayed on round mirrors, sort of like how you look at and shop for sunglasses. So, I guess a lot more goes into the buying decision than how do they sound. How do I look? Radio Shack display - Beats

How iOS 7 Will Spark a Boom in App Design BY KYLE VANHEMERT09.23.136:30 AM If you want to see the future of apps, look to Apple’s new stock apps. Photo: Ariel Zambelich / WIRED You probably feel strongly about iOS 7. Maybe you love it. Maybe you hate it. Maybe you just can’t get over that Safari icon (what were they thinking!?). But change is polarizing, and this is a fairly big change, so the general freak-out is understandable. Soon enough, though, you’ll get used to it, and iOS 6 will be the one that looks weird. But the shake-up won’t end this week. Apple’s new OS isn’t just a wham-bam makeover–at least, it isn’t only that. In months and even years to come, iO…

Great story in the current issue of The New York Times on the first iPhone demo from 2007. It turns out that the phone barely worked, a lot of the demo was rigged, and backstage, the Apple engineers were terrified that all or part of the demo would blow up in everybody's faces. Incredibly, the (carefully staged and planned) demo went off perfectly, Steve Jobs was happy, and the iPhone went on to become one of the greatest successes in electronics history. It took 2-1/2 years of R&D and more than $150 million just to create the first prototype, according to the article. Full story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/06/magazine/and-then-steve-said-let-there-be…

How the iPod and Other Audio Devices Are Destroying Your Ears By Sara J. Martinez Damage from music is not always permanent, but some audiologists have seen mp3-inflicted issues so strong that hearing aids were needed Portable music players may be contributing to permanent hearing loss among many casual listeners, gradually leading to the inability to discern speech. An iPod's maximum volume is more than 10 times as loud as the recommended listening setting, audiologists say, and the sensory damage caused by prolonged listening is irreversible. Since the iPod was introduced in 2001, hearing loss has been an obvious problem among young patients of Brian Fli…

Anyone tried to go to the movie-slate website lately? Seems to be down.

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.

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. …

For anyone who has updated from an iPhone 4s to the 5s how much of an improvement are you experiencing with the newer phones battery times? Some real world tests I have read claim they are about the same while Apple claims an increase in battery life with the 5s.

Heads up for anyone who has received this sort of thing in their email. The bad grammar and non-Apple links should be enough for people to realize this is a phishing scam. Do not click on any of the links or risk having personal information, IDs and passwords stolen.
