It’s about time musicians deal with the label’s greed head-on.
And for what it’s worth I actually did pay Radiohead (about the price of a CD) for my digital download of their new album.
Princeton Mac Users Quadruple
Sections: Apple, Site News Oct 9th, 2007 No Comments
Pretty interesting statistics regarding Mac usage at one of the most prestigious universities in the world:
In the 2003-04 school year, when the iPod was just becoming popular, a mere 10 percent of Princeton students had Mac computers connected to the network, OIT director Steven Sather said.
Sixteen percent of students chose Macs when the Class of 2008 arrived on campus the subsequent fall. The figure reached 23 percent the following year and then jumped to 31 percent of all personal computers on the network in fall 2006.
This year, the University’s Student Computer Initiative has sold more Macs than PCs. Students were offered a selection of Dell, IBM and Apple computers, and 60 percent chose Macs, up from 45 percent last year.

It’s got everything, vintage (and ironic) Ferrari 412, helmets, and droning soundtrack. There are full clips on youtube but do yourself a favor wait for the full release.

And great quotes follow…
First things first. It is very small. And it is even smaller than that when you’re inside. It is so small in fact that anyone over the age of four will find their left knee is jammed behind the windscreen washer switch, causing to it spray the windscreen constantly as you drive along.

The funny thing is that I designed this in early March (three days folks!) and hadn’t seen any part of it until tonight. The animations aren’t as fast as I had hoped but I’m really happy with the way the hand and the cookie guy’s eyes are integrated. I think it works with the entire campaign pretty well.
Okay, it’s not as interesting as Ambrielle, but it’s a better subject than my current project I can assure you. I’m not sure if I can hold out for Ambrielle #2 later this year.
iPhone: A Few More Concerns
Sections: Gadgets, Site News Jan 10th, 2007 5 Comments
The biggest fear I had about the iPhone is that Apple would close the OS and not allow for 3rd party development. But with OSX being so successful in bringing in developers I never would have thought Apple would actually keep the OS closed. It now appears they will be doing that (at least for the time being). One theory is that Apple will eventually open the OS up to development in a similar way to how they are opening up the iPod to game developers.
It looks like Cingular will only sell you the iPhone if you renew your contract for another two years. I had assumed (as with other phones they sell) that you could pay a bit more and simply get your iPhone without a contract agreement. I’m guessing this will eventually change and that this is more to keep iPhones tied down to Cingular service for as long as the exclusive agreement (2 years?) between Cingy and Apple is in effect.
