Normally, unless they are those pretty, puffy fair-weather ones, clouds aren’t so great. They’re dreary and stormy.But Apple’s cloud is not only puffy and fair-weather, its the beginning of the companys beautiful future.
Is it just me noticing it more or is everyone waking up to the potential of The Cloud at the same time?
I’ve been talking about it for years - and what’s more other people have talked to me about it.
“The day will come when everything we use will be “out there” not on your hard drive. Data, applications, personal stuff all accessible from anywhere - anywhere with a connection that is.”
The iPhone - recently acquired with 3G connectivity - stores very little data. Ok it’s an iPod too and there’s 16Gb potential for tunes and movies - but the connectivity brings trillions of gigabytes to that small 640 px wide screen. (more…)
Apple United Kingdom - Press Releases
O2 and Apple today announced that the innovative iPhone 3G will be available in the UK and Ireland on July 11th. iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software …….
I bought an iPhone last year much to the derision of my brother who said I should have waited for the 3G model. Well I might have been a bit hasty - but at least O2 is offering me the upgrade to the new phone for nothing and if I want 16Gb of storage I can have it for a relatively small payment. Roll on July 11th …. built in GPS - mmmm
It’s some time time since I listened to the U2 album Rattle and Hum. They were on fire - Unforgettable. I have this album on Vinyl and at sometime I had transferred it onto cassette and later minidisc. I was in the process of transferring it again this time onto my hard drive. It’s a process I can only describe as tedious, so I looked on iTunes to see what price it was. Just £5.49 - so I bought it. So now it’s on my iPhone.
Pride still brings tears to my eyes and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for with the gospel choir is spine chilling.
Perhaps I like this album because it touches the gospel roots planted in me as a boy.
Free Music Downloads - Music Promotion - We7
You can download free mp3 files of hundreds of commercially available tracks from this site. Each track starts with a short advert and the “artwork” that appears in iTunes is linked to the advert and not the album.
It’s dead easy to edit off the advert using Audacity, Amadeus Pro or other audio editing software that will save mp3 files. The art work can be replaced in iTunes too by grabbing the thumbnail from Amazon.
The sample rate is 192kbps so they’re good quality too. So if you want a tune check this site first before buying it from anywhere else.
Duke Special from Belfast are worth seeing live. I saw them perform on the mainstage at Greenbelt last year. Good value, lots of fun and not in the mould.
