Apple Event Set for Sept. 9th


Recommended Posts

having wifi on the classic accomplishes what? certainly you can't be thinking of browsing the internet on the classic's small screen and the lack of an input interface

1: You can browse iTunes from any hot-spot or WiFi location

2: Lack of input interface? With the touchwheel, you can just spin from letter to letter. Hell if the PSP can do it, so can this.

Sad....Apple keeps milking its customers. I try to give it a chance with a bigger HDD, WiFi, and the best music quality on the iPod but no; They just wanna suck their customers' wallets dry.

Ok, for those having multiple issues (iTunes Store links with no ability to disable them, the Genre view in the Browser with no way to turn it off, or the iTunes doesn't open maximized issue), send feedback to Apple on all three issues, maybe they'll release an update. :)

That still doesn't explain why I need to login for Genius when I can browse the store without it.

10:08AM "You've got your music library, you turn on Genius -- it sends information about your library to iTunes. We can learn about your musical tastes... but completely anonymously... but we're going to combine your info with other users, and as that happens Genius gets smarter and smarter." Tee hee!

Not sure why that is relevant? They can send my library info all they want but why do I need to login?

though it does raise a question, if its done anonymously why do u need an account? kinda makes u think what they think anonymously means....

its what it feeds back that does, from the sidebar you can listen to songs you dont have or purchase them, that it needs the account for

I can't find the option to get rid of store links in 8.0 :\

Why would I want to buy a song I already own?

Here ya go,

If you'd like to disable the iTunes Store link arrows, quit iTunes, open Terminal, and run this command:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE

Relaunch iTunes, and voila, no more arrows! To reverse this behavior, you can repeat the above command (quit iTunes first), but replace FALSE with TRUE. (Or, if you prefer, you can completely delete the added preference with defaults delete com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links).

And to remove genre use this

defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing  -bool FALSE

Not sure why that is relevant? They can send my library info all they want but why do I need to login?

Well, how is it supposed to distiguish between you and the other 65+ million users out there? The data is already there in your account, so there's no reason to make another anonymous account just for Genius.

If your that paranoid, maybe you shouldn't talk, think, or breathe, because your identity will be stolen.

As I said, I don't care if they scan my library but I don't want the unnecessary hassle to sign in for such trivial feature (I have apple id). The last sentence, not really needed, not really going to say anything on it (hint: I am not).

If it is anonymous, why does it need my account info? That is my simple question. I am just curious if it is actually not anonymous...in the same vein as iTunes installer which "doesn't install" the apple software update if I tick it off during setup. ;)

You only sign in once... :huh: It uses your account info for the Sidebar.

Don't come on here then and don't expect an answer that you don't like if your going to be so difficult about it. Is it that big of an inconvenience? I think your just looking for something to complain about.

It's anonymous in that it doesn't use your credit card, address etc. but merely your name to store the Genius data on the server. You ask a simple question, but you expect a complex, unnecessary answer.

Not only that, but you clearly don't like Apple, or you prefer Microsoft, whichever, so how am I supposed to believe that you not here just to nit pick and point out "flaws" to justify your cause?

:rolleyes: I actually use an iBook and iPhone 3G. So thank you very much. I know that iPhone 3G is buggy by my own experience and not because I am MS fanboy.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.

    • Microsoft fired the team and replaced them with AI and this is what you get.
