Apple Shows Some Mean Colors







Apple Shows Some Mean Colors

Apple Shows Some Mean Colors 07/29/2004 11:26 AM

  • CNN: Apple: RealNetworks hacked iPod. Apple Computer accused RealNetworks Thursday of adopting the tactics of a hacker and breaking into the technology behind its popular music player iPod device.
  • So Apple is happy to let you play your music only in the way it permits, if you're going to use its devices. The company says it'll rewrite its software to thwart Real's customer-friendly hack -- and I use that word in the benevolent sense -- that lets people use what they've bought with just a bit more freedom than Apple wishes to grant. Threats to use copyright law against Real are exactly what you'd expect, unfortunately. Apple wants control over online music, and this is just part of the game. What we customers want is cross-platform compatibility: standards. What the companies want is lock-in. They may win, but they're only locking me out -- because I won't play by those rules. Which means I've bought my last iTunes Music Store song until Apple starts paying more attention to what its customers want.

    Mad About Colors


    Mad About Colors 01/07/2004 04:34 PM

    Marc's post about Behr Paint's wonderful Lazlo-based color picker application reminded me that I needed a color picker myself so I went shopping for one this afternoon.

    I have a healthy respect for the power of colors but my color-sense is one-directional: I can go from colors to judgement but not the other way.  That is, I can't say “I want some nice professional set of colors for these set of web pages” and then come up with one.  Thankfully, there are programs to help me.  Most of them are appropriately priced pathetic sharewares, but I found a couple that looked good: ColorImpact 2 and Color Wheel Pro 2.

    After trying both, I found Color Wheel Pro 2 to be the better of the two.  Lucky for me, it even costs less than the other one.  Nice.

    Update:

    Found another nice website that explains colors in a pleasant way: handprint.

    Olympus m:robe 100 in Two New Colors


    Olympus m:robe 100 in Two New Colors 04/14/2005 10:03 AM

    mrobe_2col.jpgOlympus is offering two new colors of their m:robe MR-100 MP3 player—sort of. The front of the device is still the Knight-Rider-like red-on-black (of which, I must say, I am a fan). The back of the current models is white, but the new models will be available with backs in light pink and light blue. It's like those videos I used to stare at when I was a kid, where the cover girl was a studious bookworm by day but a crime-fighting whore at night. I may be getting some of the plot-points confused.

    No idea if we'll get these models in America. I guess it depends on how well the MR-100 is selling, which is hard to augur considering Olympus misguidedly put all their marketting muscle into the MR-500.
