To comment on the business side from the music perspective: I like iTunes, at least the thought behind it, providing a global distribution channel for a small percentage is IMHO the best business model for artists today. Although distribution is a bit outweighed in importance by marketing. In execution iTunes is late…

Nice, but here in the Netherlands our insurance only pays in case of burglary if there is physical damage to the door.

When I switched search engine for the last time, it indeed looked like you say, but that was 2000. Depicted is the 1998/99 look.

You answered your question yourself, seems like Apple bought it and patented it, soon on your iPhone?

Reward is not tied with risk.... reward is tied to the difference in evaluation of product value by the market, which could be positive OR negative, your evaluation should be the most accurate to reap success, some call it gambling. In case of the Apple startup, nobody could evaluate its value 30 years later. Ron must…

Somehow I don't get it. The state Wintel machines are in is due to the fact hardware & software isn't a happy marriage. The state Apple machines are in is due to the fact hardware & software have been married happily for 25 years (leaving mortal-usability deliberately out of the equation). So the idea of (sort-of)…

How much has this Mr Shankman invested in Mortons btw?

If a device needs overclocking to be snappy then there is a serious design error. If even HP can't optimize it, it definitely seems flawed. Although 3rd party Android hardware vendors are a bit lazy, HTC build the spec with Google so I consider them 1st party, Android is the only platform that can compete with iOS…

It is not so spectacular that our food can be kept safe from bacteria, more importantly Bisin could make food available for third world countries and disaster struck areas where refrigerating is a luxury.

So, these are just small electrostatic speakers? Hmm, there are plenty of those around and the trouble with all small electrostatics is no bass nor low mids. If you've never heard phase accurate speakers before you'll be in for a treat though!

Being that small you'll be able to clog it in three uses and render it absolutely worthless! Just like your ultra compact camera viewfinder, whoohooo!

Some people simply lived too much, too early and too care free but now are caught by the after math. They're slaves to the situation they created them selves, and helped by shady 3rd parties. Then again there are a lot of people that don't have a notion of living at all, they should just continue what they were doing…

With all the ADR going on and all the available sound libraries, nobody records ambient sound any more :) Years ago I used a Dummy Head and once a Head And Torso Simulator for classical recordings. Here is the Dummy Head wiki (+recordings): [en.wikipedia.org]

I actually am, and indeed this is 'just' stereo (not very accurate stereo even judging the video). I could not localize any sound coming from behind or under/above. Using a Head And Torso Simulator or dummy head ([en.wikipedia.org] one can almost capture 3D. But since each person has very different ear-shapes,…

The OS X Audio Core is a (recent) option for the IOS developer (and btw midi has nothing to do with audio processing). I wish all the guitar fx apps used the Audio Core library (then it automagically supports my USB audio devices). but sadly there are only a few good ones. But amp modeling quality is not so much about…

I work with tube amps in my studio, but when I write demo's on location I just rely on modeling. GarageBand records the clean guitar on its tracks and outputs the model you choose. So back in the studio I can transfer the clean guitar track to my DAW and re-amp the track (using a passive DI in reverse) through a tube…

Knowing the other Griffin guitar gear, this probably is using the mini-jack (& onboard ADC) which makes it unsuitable for recording. Using it live on stage on the other hand, not many people will hear the crosstalk nor the narrow freq response. In both situations, soundwise the iOS apps blow Line6 pods out of the…

The first was HTC's XDA they build for O2, people laughed at me not believing I was watching movies online in those days.
