1st, install Quicktime 7 from the Snow Leopard DVD and then license it. 2nd, follow the screencast below: I will try to find a way to extract and convert the audio without requiring Quicktime 7 Pro. It really annoy the heck out of me to use QT 7 for this. There must be an cheaper way to do this. Today I decided that I had to do something to help me take resources back on my Mac. If you are like me and you have multiple familly members using your computer you might often find thing getting a bit slow… The usual cause are browsers applications open by other users that take all the available CPU because they have left some Adobe Flash games running when they left the computer. Adobe flash is a resource hog and will bring a good CPU to it’s knees. What I used to do was to login as each users and log them out… which take a lot of time. I wanted something quick… so I came up with a small application called “Terminate All”.

As you know, on Friday May 28, 2010 Apple launched the iPad in Canada. Before Sunday ended, every Apple Store and retailer across Canada that were selling iPads were sold out. While there are thousands of new iPad owners in Canada, there are many people still trying to find one! So what do you do? Answer: Get on the Apple iPad Priority List The Apple iPad Priority list is a system available at Apple Retail Stores across Canada. Being on the list guarantees you your iPad of choice and to get on the list, you need to visit an Apple Retail Store. This is how it works:

Google is phasing out the internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system because of security concerns, according to several Google employees.The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally. “We’re not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort,” said one Google employee.
“Many people have been moved away from [Windows] PCs, mostly towards Mac OS, following the China hacking attacks,” said another. New hires are now given the option of using Apple’s Mac computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. “Linux is open source and we feel good about it,” said one employee. “Microsoft we don’t feel so good about.” via FT.com / Technology – Google ditches Windows on security concerns.

Engardet is reporting that Apple is about to release an Apple TV gen 3 that will compete with Google TV offering.
The idea is that it will leverage the Apple A4 processor to run iPhone OS 4 to power the appliance. The size of the said appliance is roughly equivalent to an iPhone without a screen. This make a whole lot of sense when you take in consideration what the iPad/iPhone can do with all those applications. The device will output at 1080p using some sort of dongle and take a small power cable input… that’s it. One can be sure that the device will support both WiFi and BT to interface with your home network and nearby devices like a keyboard. What is interesting is where this might lead. Imagine running games similar to the ones made for the iPad on your TV! This thing has the potential of turning into a gaming console. Sure it won’t beat the XBOX in performance but the sheer number of games will make it attractive for casual gamers. Add Netflix, ABC player, etc, etc to the mix and you get a full entertainment solution. Be sure to keep an eye on this thing! Oh yeah, did I mentioned that the expected price be around 99$? The next Apple TV revealed: cloud storage and iPhone OS on tap… and a $99 price tag — Engadget. OK, the Canadian iBookstore are not empty per say… they are empty of commercial book titles. It appear as if Apple was not able to come to an agreement with Canadian publishers on selling eBooks in Canada. Only books from the Gutenberg Project can be had for free at the moment. Earlier today the UK iBookstore was filled with titles from Bernard Cornwell, Tony Parsons and Malcolm Gladwell, among many others. Will Canadian iBookstore follow soon? Let just hope!
Here are some videos of the iPad worldwide launch! Munich: Rome: |
