They removed all educational discounts for nanos/ipods, and updated their page telling you how many you can buy per year (removed ipods altogether).

Drats, I was hoping to save $10. Silver 2gb on order. Switched it to a 4gb Green nano 2g

The stream is working now too

when doing an install of itunes 7 in os x i noticed an option for install itunes phone driver, is that new?

Could that possibly be a driver for one of those Motorola phones? I'm not expert with tbe iTunes + Phone thingy that Motorola had going back with the ROKR and the like, but perhaps its that smoking gun about the "iPhone" we've been looking for. Or maybe its not, lol. :rofl: Someone shed some light on this, 'cause it..seems interesting.

You're right on the money with your first question. And no, the driver option is not new... I remember it quite a while ago, right after they released the ROKR.

I still see the education promo on the Canada site.. it points to the old Ipods with reduced price to match the price of new Ipods.

I wonder if there is price protection from Apple.. I recently got the 4GB Nano and now it's a $30 diff.. :rolleyes:

Well, it was a good 30 second run I had with that. :laugh: Thanks, though, for the information.

I don't get it. Why bother with the whole "determining gapless playback" thing when you could just play the next song immediately after the current one finishes? Plenty of mp3 players do this already, don't they?

Nope, not many do. The Rio Karma did though..a long ways back.

What's the difference between gapless playback and the current crossfade?

dL

Exactly what it sounds like. Instead of fading between the two tracks so your hear a little bit of both at the same time, it starts the next track immediately after the current track without any delay. I like gapless playback a LOT more than crossfade.

They are still 5G ipods, just updated. I assume a majority of the updates WILL be in a firmware update for the old version with exception to maybe the battery (unless they just made it more efficient) and the screen.

Somehow I really doubt Apple wants you to have the new software features of the 6G on the 5G ipod without buying a new one.

Only works well with the dance genre really that has a CD that is continuous.

iTV is born... Wireless Box to watch movies and shows on tv

. . . but my xbmc enabled xbox's have done this for years already (and they will probably be cheap, and more feature filled than this pretty looking device. Although this solution will be fine for people without those resources.

. . . also the price of these downloadable movie is way to high. I was hoping for 9.99 for a new flick, and 5.99 for an older movie. Plus the resolution sucks, no 5.1, or bonus footage. For their price, I'd rather just buy the actually dvd, or "aquire" the movie from other sources

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
