Apple Conference 4: Now with free case!

[TakingBackSunday]

iTunes isn't that bad, patel.  you're a mac user right?

eel, you should've expected this, it's their music event.  They'll have an iPad event at some point

[ferrarimanf355]

I want one of those iTouches...

[Howard Alan Treesong]

iTunes isn't that bad, patel.  you're a mac user right?

ew, no. Windows 7 for lyfe.

[TakingBackSunday]

well there's your answer 

[Eel O'Brian]

no, itunes is terrible, people can try to convince themselves otherwise but it takes three steps and forever to do anything

[cool breeze]

I get that you can convert videos and do all this shit to trick itunes into being usable software, but I'd rather not put in the effort to relax.

$100? sold

[TakingBackSunday]

I haven't had terrible issues with it on my macbook

but yeah it sucks on windows

[Brehvolution]

ipod touch:

"CAMERASGYROSCOPERETINADISPLAYFACETIMEVIDEOEDITING!"

[Howard Alan Treesong]

New one is $99

[Eel O'Brian]

[Brehvolution]

Fuck watching the stream, you guys live blogging it is much more entertaining. 

[TakingBackSunday]

yes hitting a "process" button on a piece of software is effort.

I have a library of 1000+ movies and I'm not spending weeks converting them all just so I can watch them on a device I don't want to own

[Eel O'Brian]

it is so obvious jobs quickly lost interest in the first gen ipad about a day after it released

At first I read piece of shit and was about to agree

shit, I almost had a heart attack just then

[Howard Alan Treesong]

if this is Jack Johnson then

EDIT: it's Coldplay aka Muse Unplugged

EDIT 2: Apple can't afford all of Coldplay, apparently; settles for the funny looking singer and a backing track

[cool breeze]

At the rate he's losing weight and the smaller and lighter Apple products coming out, I think it's safe to say he can't even lift an ipad anymore.  Until the iPad Feather, at least.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

this conference sucks, let's look at pictures of Omar in a fucking incredible suit



Omar's back! Omar!

I would rather own that suit than all of the digital devices debuted today

[Eel O'Brian]

i think the 7" ipad rumor might have some heft to it now

look at how bored he was talking about the "new" ipad features

i have this feeling they're gonna dump it and shift to a 7" version with the same res, that way they can cram all the camera/gyro/video editing stuff in there and make it seem more portable

[demi]

Eel always gets the third wheel

it's like he killed Mouzone and stole his clothing

yup, plus if you shrink it to 7" you can pretend it's a quasi-retina display or whatever

I think they'll keep the larger format for people who want it and give it a slight refresh, but the iPad 2 focus is gonna be on the 7"

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Chris Martin just ethered Apple completely before launching into Viva La Vida

"Our label told us this song was a pile of ... something awful and could never be a hit single. But with the help of Apple it actually turned into our biggest hit, for which we're eternally grateful. It just goes to show...Apple's marketing people can sell anything. "

[Eel O'Brian]

i'll be completely honest, i am sort of regretting my purchase

it was a lot of money and took forever to save up for it, and even though it's been out nearly five months it still doesn't even have the same capabilities as my ipod touch from 2009 had

it's a great browser/netflix mini streamer/comic reader, but the lack of ram really shows in a lot of areas, and the weird way they handle file transfer irks me to no end

[TakingBackSunday]

thus the curse of apple early adopters, sadly

[Howard Alan Treesong]

yeah, I intentionally didn't buy an iPad because: Apple, 1st gen, etc. Apple products are like Star Trek movies, you always want the even generations

[Howard Alan Treesong]

"This is a new song we're doing, it's called Coldplay 2.6. It features 7 chords. None of our competitors have it. Jony Ive designed it. It's in the key of iMinor."

[TakingBackSunday]

heyo

[Eel O'Brian]

i don't really care about cameras and such on it, but i'm sure they knew iphone and ipod touch were getting 512mb RAM and a gyroscope and they still left both out of the first gen ipad - the gyroscope, whatever, but it could really use that 512mb

[TakingBackSunday]

you guys really think there's gonna be a 7-inch iPad?  are there rumors for such?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/17/7-inch-ipad-to-launch-by-christmas/

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, there have been several rumors, and now that they've got a camera in just about everything the rumors make a little more sense

[huckleberry]

fucking rear camera intentionally gimped. 

[Eel O'Brian]

it can't do pictures?

[huckleberry]

It can do pics...but only at 960x720. It does do 720p video though..so that isn't too bad  - considering I guess.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i checked the apple site, 960x720 isn't bad for a quick pocket cam

i thought they were pulling the same shit they did with last gen's nano

[huckleberry]

yeah, I jumped the gun on the hate......

my daughter is gonna love the video recording feature.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Codec information for Apple TV

720p max
AAC audio only

AppleTV is a great way to rent movies and TV from Apple (and Netflix). Not so much for anything else.

[T-Short]

Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Motion-JPEG is more of a digital camera capture format than a download movie format. AAC audio is required for anything above stereo.

[T-Short]

yeah hehe, I was wondering where I had heard that before

[TakingBackSunday]

btw you can download the tech demo for project castle on the app store and play it on your iphone/ipad RIGHT NOW

[Eel O'Brian]

The iPad has always been a pile. It's funny that it took this long for people to realize it.

thanks, i feel much better now

These are the top purchased songs from the people you follow.

[Eel O'Brian]

just feeling a little burned is all

i can see the ram becoming an issue with multitask, it made my 32GB ipod touch a little sluggish

[disgruntled_jojo]

Well I've got a ghetto iPhone 3G. EVERYTHING is a problem with it.

Apple needs to hunker down and optimize iOS4.

This was addressed in the presentation, Jobs said iOS 4.1 (next week) has specifically addressed 3G speeds.

[TakingBackSunday]

omg

[Eel O'Brian]

hey, forgot all about the mic in the new ipod touch

portable skype phone, awesome

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

That new nano is ridiculous.

I love(d) my nano because I use it for my workout and I was hoping (or maybe even expecting) Apple to release a 32GB model but instead we get this?  A shuffle with a unnecessary touch screen?  Fuck that. I really hate using a touch for my mp3 player and I'm not going to go back to it ever again.

I think I'll just go out and get a classic while they're still available.

[cool breeze]

yeah, the new nano is odd.  The reason why I still use my nano over my ipod touch as a music player is because I can control everything just by feel.

Dude I would be glad to take it off your hands for you, not only because I really want one but your whining incessantly about it is making my dick soooo soft.

[Saint Cornelius]

Top Music

What makes me sad is, I buy 90% of my music from eMusic and Amazon. straight-up MP3s >>>>>>>>>>>>>> shit I gotta convert

[Eel O'Brian]

jeez, i surely hate making your dick soft, corny

legitimate complaints about something i paid over half a grand for isn't whining

also, go fuck yourself

[Van Cruncheon]

what are you doing that requires so much ram? my ipad is jailbroken, and i've never run up against the ram limit

spoiler (click to show/hide)

can't say the same for my still-awesome droid 2, though

[close]

[Saint Cornelius]

Eel you know I you man, which is why I want to ease your pain by buying it from you.

I'm good for it; you can use Wobedraggled as a reference

[Van Cruncheon]

hahaha, wobe is like the LAST person you want as a reference!
