Vista...

Thursday, 8. February 2007, 09:17:43

, , ,

has been released for a week now. What has Vista done about the War in Iraq? Nothing.

What was the point of this lame duck OS change? The threat of Leopard attacks looming on the horizon, and the resilience of the Penguins despite all efforts to dissolve their environment, can only signify that Vista was too little, too late.

In the years to come, it is a sad reality that Vista will grow in size and user-base, but by the end of 2008, the real winner will be the team which can put forward really innovative plans and developments for the improvement of the experience.

iTunes+Coverflow

Remember this?
Apple went ahead and put those together, so call off the horses.

Looks good so far, could use some improvements, but pretty sure with user feedback, they'll fix them soon.

My favorite picture of the day:Although, google talk's really pissing me off. The song display in the status doesn't update properly, and if I happen to close iTunes while google talk's open, it reopens iTunes. Automatically. Rage.

A very big memory hog though - big change - the installer looks more like it was developed in Redmond. Acts like it too. Asks for a restart. Horrors. And those stupid processes. Just went to msconfig and got rid of them all. Bloody insufferable.

Besides, they're not fooling anyone with the album view. They got that straight off of Windows Media Player 10. Well, Media Player 10 released it first anyway.

A thought! Hey there winamp! How you doin'?

Other thoughts and screaming fits: iTunes keeps installing shortcuts in the programs menu and on the desktop and in the quick-launch toolbar every time I delete them. I had to go to the All Programs folder and Hide the iTunes and Quicktime folders to have some semblance of control over my start menu. What the hell is going on?

Further, iTunes won't open over Remote Desktop. Just because I probably left the Library in Coverflow view when I closed it. I come back on campus, go to my PC and boom, no iTunes. Error. The fudge Jobs? What'd you do?And my favorite button of them all, the Equalizer. They removed it. There isn't even a shortcut to it. You've got to go to the menu now. The automatic sound check reduces the volume on the songs. The three new views ought to have keyboard shortcuts. Fix iT!

Apple Screws Up!

Monday, 7. August 2006, 18:43:56

, , ,

During the demo of Leopard, the Mac or the application that was open froze. The guy demoing it on stage froze too. In terror.

In related news, Microsoft issued an emphatic statement.
Apple continues to mimic our innovations. We've had apps freeze on us in demos Tonnes of times! Now do you believe WE are the original trendsetters?

In other news, I still haven't got my priorities straight. :smile: Kill me now.

UPDATE 01:50AM CDST: Watched it. It was a minor glitch. The kind where an app freezes on you. Happens quite often on Tiger. So it was more of a feature than a bug really. Just trying to help you out Steve.

CoverFlow for Windows?

Thursday, 13. July 2006, 20:47:48

, , , ...

Have you seen CoverFlow for OS X?Have you seen it perform? The video on the CoverFlow website makes one drool to say the least. Well, someone's trying to make a Windows port for the emotionally needy and Mac devoid.Anyone care to do some alpha testing? Download from the release page here and get back to me about whether you'd not let your worst enemies experience the pain and suffering endured by using that application or whether it's so precious, you'd jump down Mount Doom just to keep it away from your soulmate.

The radio. What you should be looking for.

You need iTunes.

If you have it already, Analog Voyager and HBR1 are quite good. Do try them out. HBR1 has a lot of Indian Fusion in there. Shehnai music all day. My favorite.

Although, if the stream's at full capacity, blame the system. Not me.

Lifli's based off of ... you won't guess it... Hyderabad! It looks like an interesting place. I stumbled across it when navigating Mr. Hodgman's page and the comments within.

In any case, Hyderabadi .mac startup. Interesting to say the least.
