Apple Event Set for Sept. 9th


Recommended Posts

I'm risking life and limb here to tell you what iTunes 8 will include. Because I love Neowin so much, here is what iTunes 8 will do:

- Syncs with iPod nano 4G

- Syncs with iPod touch 2G

- Allows you to subscribe to the iTunes Unlimited music service

- Will download lyrics for all of your songs

- All your purchased music will be converted to iTunes Plus on first run (Does not include iTunes Unlimited content)

- Music Videos and Video Podcasts added to the LIBRARY section

- A new CATEGORIES section is added

- Washes your dishes with every iPhone sync

- Cleans your house with every iPod sync

- Takes the kids to school when you update your Podcasts

- Cures Cancer on first run

- Contains bug fixes for Global Warming

- Play music

My sources include Steve Jobs, so you don't have to question me. He told me all this while we were doing Yoga at Starbucks while Jon was designing the Mac Tablet in the background. Phil was busy knitting iPhone socks. He always gets stuck doing that :(

I hope they have a date or some more information on the next iPhone update. That would rock. Background apps hopefully as well.

The iPhone 3G just got out, so don't expect any news/update soon. Probably a new firmware at best.

I hope for a Touch with more memory at the same price.

As much as I doubt it will happen, a 32GB touch for around ?200 please (the creative zen xfi 32GB is ?220 ish, so I don't see why apple can't do it too), and I'll be scrapping my pennies to get one.

I'd probably jump at a ?150 16GB one too.

What would you suggest? A separate app for each of those functions? I don't think that would work somehow. And anyway, you only see the features you want to see. It's not like Apple is forcing you to load every single part of the application every single time.

how about drag and drop to the "device"

who needs itunes to load a player... others make due with out that fine

will be interesting... if ipod touch gets gps and different design i might just have to buy another one for lulz and comparison it would make it a good cheaper alternative to iphone 3g sif paying $900+ NZD for non contract thing just for gps and stuff :s

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
