I've learned to show up later at the Fleet Center. So, this morning I took a look through the many events scheduled around the city. Unfortunately, the ones open to the public tend to have titles such as "Advancing Affordable Housing Preservation through Tax Credits" and "Hip hop + Politics = Youth Voter Empowerment?" I mean, how could they insult that last topic by ending it with a question mark! Meanwhile, the ones marked private include "LA Senator John Breaux's Carribbean [sic] Carnival with Musician Ziggy Marley" and "Golf/Clambake with US Reps. Bill Delahunt & Steven Lynch, FL Sen....

Powerbook G5 Next Tuesday?

Powerbook G5 Next Tuesday? 06/06/2005 12:08 AM

There is every reason in the world that this could be fake, but it won't hurt to go ahead and put those Powerbooks on eBay. Dated June 7th, this press release talks about 'Powerbook G5' models, with faster processors (duh) and better screens, still inside an aluminum case. We'll reproduce the text after the jump, but you can look at the 'Google Cache' on this guy's website for signs it's a spoof. (Thanks, Art!)

Update: So yeah, not likely. Lots of you have pointed out good reasons why this isn't legit, but I've copied the most comprehensive from reader 'John' below the press release after the jump.

Apple Announces PowerBook G5 for August Availibility
The Highly Anticipitated G5 Portables are Here, Featuring Low-power G5 Processors and HD Screens Across the Line

CUPERTINO, California—June 7, 2005—Apple® today announced the upcoming availibility of it's highly anticipitated PowerBook G5 line of personal computers, featuring low-power G5 cores running up to 2.3 GHz, with 12, 15, and 17 inch high definition widescreen displays, all enclosed in a thin aluminum shell. The super-powerful notebook computer outperforms the leading PC notebooks by up to 35 percent.*

The PowerBook G5's blazingly fast PowerPC G5 processor makes it the ideal computer for professional work on the go. "The PowerBook G5 is not only one of the coolest looking personal computers on the planet, it's also the fastest portable computer available." said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.

The new high definition widescreen displays give you all the working space you need to watch and edit high definition video without hooking up an external display.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning desktop and notebook computers, OS X operating system, and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital music revolution with its iPod portable music players and iTunes online music store.

The 'Google Cache' [Mac]

I don't buy that "cache" announcing the G5 PowerBook for a second. The most convincing error for me is that the first sentence incorrectly uses "it's", but you might be more convinced by the following: - Google cache pages use valid URLs, not "http://64.233.167.104.search.q[...]" - The typography and CSS IDs are completely different from current Apple PR. - The descriptive paragraph lacks an "About Apple" heading.

Compared to the last PowerBook press release, which is here:
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jan/31powerbook.html

...we learn:
- The alleged release's URL style is different.
- The alleged release's press contacts are different.
- The trademark line on the alleged release:
"Apple, the Apple logo, Mac, Mac OS, Macintosh, iTunes and iPod are trademarks of Apple...."
versus the legit PowerBook release:
"Apple, the Apple logo, Macintosh, Mac, Mac OS, PowerBook, SuperDrive, AirPort, iLife, iTunes, iPod, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, Safari, Sherlock, QuickTime, iCal, Apple Store and FireWire are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Apple..."

Apple neglecting to note that the word "PowerBook" is trademarked in a PowerBook press release? Not bloody likely!

To do Tuesday night in LA: RES screening

To do Tuesday night in LA: RES screening 07/12/2004 05:49 PM
OK, look -- even if this description of tomorrow night's monthly RES screening in Hollywood doesn't get you worked up, consider this: it's followed by an afterparty featuring an as-yet-unannounced secret Silverlake-based DJ duo who CONVERTED AN ICE CREAM TRUCK INTO A MOBILE DUB REGGAE SOUNDSYSTEM. That is the wickedest most baddassed thing I've ever heard of in my life at least the last three hours. Seriously, the program looks great too, and features:

special guest Geoff McFetridge who will share a retrospective of his video work including his music videos for the Avalanches, Simian, Plaid and his quirky spots for Jinro, X-Games, Burton and HP. The program will also include new short films from Suk & Koch, Brett Simon and Cheryl Dunn who will present the world premiere of Come Mute. Also screening: breaking new music videos for Placebo, Mr. Lif, Armand Van Helden, Supergrass, Los Amigos Invisibles, Colder and Floria Sigismondi's latest for the Cure.

Link to screening info, and listen to an archived live set from the ice-cream rockaz who shall not be named right here.

Tuesday is INDUCE call-in day 09/14/2004 03:48 AM
Xeni Jardin: As my colleague Cory blogged last week, Tuesday September 14 is "Save Betamax National Call-in Day."

Why Save Betamax? The short version: We're organizing a call-in day to Congress on September 14 to oppose new legislation that would undermine the Betamax decision (INDUCE Act). Here's why: The Betamax VCR died more than 15 years ago, but the Supreme Court decision that made the Betamax and all other VCRs legal lived on. In Sony vs. Universal (known as the Betamax decision) the Court ruled that because VCRs have legitimate uses, the technology is legal—even if some people use it to copy movies. Of course, the movie industry was lucky it lost the case against VCRs, because home video soon became Hollywood's largest source of revenue. And the freedom to use and develop new technology that was protected by the Betamax decision set the stage for the incredible growth in computer technology we've seen in the last few decades.

Our second (and last) full day of vacation in Chicago ended well but began with a disappointment. We slogged off to the Museum of Science and Industry. Despite its Stalinist name, it's actually one of those interactive science places that seems to be the offspring of a museum that got lusty with an amusement park during shore leave. You're always just a twist or a yank or a pop away from learning something. Unfortunately, the science seems aimed squarely at the Square Pants set. Why, did you know that DNA is all helixy, that friction generates heat, and that...

My wife and I arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon, prepared with suggestions from y'all about what to see and do. Thanks! It was a beautiful day, so we set out down Michigan and walked along the lake shore. It is an odd and beautiful vista to see the skyscrapers hanging like a curtain behind the strip of beach. Then we walked through the Navy Pier, the mall-arcade-amusement park where I drank something blue and sugary. We continued along the shore and then headed back to the hotel. Don't hate us, but we passed a movie theater and on an...

My wife and I are taking 3 days of vacation in Chicago, starting tomorrow. I've been there many times on business, which means I'm very familiar with the airport and am fully qualified to operate the remote in the hotel rooms, and my wife hasn't been there in 30 years or so. So, we're going to do the tourist thing. Outside of the obvious, any recommendations? (Three notes: Second City is closed the days we're there, we don't eat meat and we don't much care for the blues.)...

Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi

Chicago Museum to Get Wi-Fi 08/27/2004 01:30 PM
The very cool Field Museum in Chicago will get a Wi-Fi network, built by Concourse: Most users will pay a "nominal" fee to access the network, but Chicago Public School kids and their teachers will get free access. The museum also envisions using the network to offer interactive exhibits in the future. The Experience Music Project, Paul Allen's music museum in Seattle, also built a Wi-Fi network in its space recently. The networks sound useful internally for museum workers as much as for an extra service for visitors. I'm not sure how willing or interested I would be in paying to access a Wi-Fi network in a museum after I've already paid an entrance fee. But the networks would offer a great conduit for delivering content about exhibits to handheld devices as part of the regular museum experience. The EMP has a bar and restaurant that people can visit without paying an entrance fee to the museum so those users might be interested in paying to use the network....
