Apple's DLA strategy

Apple's DLA strategy 07/26/2004 11:07 PM

Apple just announced a new iTunes mobile version that Motorola will load onto their "mass-market music phones" in the first half of next year. TheFeature's Carlo Longino gives his quick take on the deal:

Plenty of handsets today are capable of playing mp3s, but presumably none do it with the ease and grace -- or inherent coolness -- of Apple's products. It's an interesting move for Apple, which has said in the past the iTunes music store is a loss leader designed to help sell iPods. Presumably, they want to take new Moto phone users and turn them into iPod buyers... That, or this is just the first step towards the much-clamored-for wireless iPod.

Marc's bit.....

See! I told you so!

You think Apple still thinks of themselves as a computer company? I doubt it. They've been milking the Mac and their users for years and they're about to launch their entirely new model - which will be based upon enabling people's digital lifestyles.

Music is just the first step. And creativity.

You'll soon see .Mac and Rendevouz play a big part in Apple's comprehensive solution for the digital convergence. Shared calendars for the family, tied into your vacation albums and home movies. Throw in nutrional guides, pick-up and drop-off schedules and after-school activities - and we'll finally have iCommunity.

Apple is showing the world - right now - that end-user's experiences actually DO count.

That's why the Mac was always the best and why the iPod is the best. They're doing our R&D for us!

SLI Bridge Available in Retail

SLI Bridge Available in Retail 03/17/2005 03:44 AM
This week some Japanese hardware stores started offering the SLI bridge card, which is shipped together with Gigabyte’s or Leadtek’s graphics cards as well as with all the SLI supporting mainboards based on nForce4 SLI available in the today’s market. Why could anyone be willing to buy a separate SLI bridge card at all?

If you have been reading our News attentively, you probably know that some nForce4 Ultra based mainboards are equipped with either two full-size PCI Express x16 slots or with one full-size PCI Express x16 slot and one PCI Express x4 slot , which allows installing a second graphics card. None of the mainboard makers however is brave enough to announce officially that their solutions really support SLI. As you know, NVIDIA is doing its best to prevent the “unauthorized” modification of the nForce4 Ultra based mainboards into nForce4 SLI based ones.

PalmOne Goes Retail?

PalmOne Goes Retail? 05/07/2004 02:58 PM
PalmOne (and before it, just plain old Palm) has often been compared to Apple. There are certainly a lot of similarities, so maybe it's not that surprising that PalmOne has decided to (quietly) open their own retail stores. While they've apparently opened up 11 stores, they're only now making a big deal by opening a "flagship" store at the Philadelphia airport. Who knew that people went to airports to buy expensive digital organizers? It's more likely, of course, that they view these stores the same way Sony views their own stores, as a walk-through advertisement for their products, rather than as a place where they expect to make a direct return on investment. As such, airports might not be a bad place to put them. You get a lot of business travelers, many of whom may have some time to kill before they get on their flight.

Tapwave Zodiac in Retail

Tapwave Zodiac in Retail 06/18/2004 04:17 PM

MATT GALLANT -- The Tapwave Zodiac, the PDA/MP3 player/Game Platform has snuck into the retail channel a few days before its scheduled June 24th ship date. NYC J&R Music and Computer World stores and, by extension, Amazon.com now have both the 32MB and the 128MB models available.

With a nice 480x320 16-bit display, an analog control stick, a mess o' gaming adapted buttons, all running on PalmOS 5.2T, the Zodiac sure looks like a neat PDA for someone with a gaming streak.

Ryan Junell 04/10/2005 11:11 PM

Ryan Junell and I first met at the University of Texas, where we both took a class about the Internet (Ryan designed UT's first web site; I caught on more slowly) and saw each other at a lot of rock shows. It wasn't until Creative Commons started up and needed a graphic designer that Ryan and I reunited and became friends. Ryan is responsible for, among other things, our tasteful and fetching logo, the amazing animations in Get Creative and Reticulum Rex (and the latter's anagrammed title), our DVD, many of our t-shirt designs and printed materials, and CC's close connections with the Bay Area electronic music scene (where Ryan is a sort of freelance video artist). Along with Matt, it's Ryan we have to thank for Creative Commons' bold visual identity.

If you haven't checked out Ryan's handiwork outside of Creative Commons, you ought to. His See the Elephant! video installation toured the country late last year, and his music videos for Spoon and The Natural History nail the aesthetics of those bands. (Ryan's hilarious and sharp video for The Soft Pink Truth was, along with Anime, South Park, Hello Kitty, and Schoolhouse Rock, the inspiration for the look and feel of "Get Creative.)

Ryan is pursuing more solo projects now, but I hope one day to team up with him again on some sort of media project. It's extremely rare to find someone whose taste jibes so well with your own -- or better put, who is able to read your mind, and then do you one better.

Johnny Ryan interview

Johnny Ryan interview 02/01/2005 08:37 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I've written about Johnny Ryan's excellent comics before. His work is juvenille, hostile, violent, and funny. I don't really know why I like it. I hate South Park, which is also juvenille, hostile, and violent. But I don't think South Park is funny. Here's an interview with Ryan on G4techTV.

Do you ever worry about how people are construing your work – that they may think you’re a homophobe, or a racist, or anti-religion?

These are sort of elements that are part of us in some ways. Everybody has that fear of the other or whatever. But it sort of goes back into my whole sense of humor: making fun of people is funny. I don’t have any sort of agenda against minorities, or gays, or religion. I think my comic is self-deprecating in the same way that it is insulting to everyone. I try to insult everybody, that’s just my sense of humor. As far as people thinking I’m those things… I don’t know, I guess it doesn’t really have too much effect on me since I’m still doing it. It’s all for the sake of making fun of people and humor – it’s not some sort of political soapbox I’m standing on.
