Apple Event on September 12th


Recommended Posts

What do you think the chances are of a new version of iTunes released today to coincide with the addition of movies? iTunes 7 or 6.5 perhaps?

On the one hand, the addition of movies isn't much different from the TV shows already available, but on the other hand, assuming a new video-enabled AirPort is launched, a new version of iTunes might be needed to use it. A check box "Look for remote Televisions connected to Video AirPort"

Ok, if you could somehow hook your TV up to the video Airport and then stream movies from iTunes to your TV...that would rock.

But I doubt it'll happen.

\can't get hopes up too high

That would rock my world! lol

...yeah, I'm sad like that. :(

There have been several reports now about a video-enabled AirPort base station... It's relatively likely to happen :)

Yeah, but would it allow you to hook up to a TV rather than another computer? And if so, would you be able to choose the video to play from the TV instead of from the computer you're streaming from?

Apple Showtime: The Entire Event Leaked?

Let's just say I have been informed by a little reliable birdy about Tommorow's event. The line-up will follow this similar structure:

Welcoming of Media Members

Discussion on iTunes software, iTMS integration into iTunes, and iTMS

sales and facts.

Announcement of iTunes version 7.0

Announces better search feature for Music Store

Announces Movie Store. Available Immediately will be movies from

Disney and Pixar, among other studios.

New iPod Nano Announcement (nice brushed casing, while it will have

same features as first gen, only a longer battery life)

New iPod Announcement (Widescreen, Bluetooth, and featuring virtual

touchwheel. Does not include Wi-Fi, or any other protocols)

One More Thing....

TubePort. A $99 2-piece set that includes a dongle that connects via USB to your mac, and another dongle that connects via included HD cables or regular Component cables to your TV. The movie is accessed on your Mac via an iDisk-like storage component hosted by Apple.

Jobs will then explain the pricing structure of the Movie Store.

Movies wil be available as either a smaller iPod-format (which will

cost $9.99 per movie), or as a larger, streamed movie to be streamed

to your TV via TubePort. This cost $14.99 per movie. To purchase an

iPod-formatted movie and a streamed version of the same movie, it will

cost you $19.99.

Hope this is not the case. Way too expensive.

There is no incentive to buy an iTunes movie at $15 when I can buy the DVD for the same price. I can then rip the DVD to my iPod, my PC, anywhere I want. Plus I get all the bonus features and extras not available on the iTunes version.

It should not cost more than $9.99, and the movie should be burnable to DVD.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
