iPhone OS 3.0 is coming, preview on March 17th


Recommended Posts

i'm really disappointed so far.. i was really hoping for a completely updated UI/home screen/lock screen or something

What? That's it the iPhone's 'image'. As if they would go and change it.

Yes and next version I bet Apple will impose some artifical feature in the new touch/phone that the old ones wont support and end making updates for the touch models that dont have it so you will need to buy the latest and greatest (Apple has done this since the 68k macs and no one ever seems to care)

Technology needs to be pushed forward. Always has done.

That seems highly unlikely. One of the biggest appeals of the iPhone, if not the biggest appeal, is that the firmware is upgradeable, unlike nearly every other mobile phone on the market. To exclude 3.0 from the existing iPhone models would be a terrible move.

It's not like how old iPod firmware updates were only the new models, so the old models only missed out on search and other minor things. This is much different. If Apple excludes old models from 3.0, there would then have to be special 3.0-only applications, etc.

99% of the smartphones that are on the market update the firmware this is nothing that and decent phone hasnt done since the late 90's

honestly, none of you are getting bored with the current layout? just pages of apps lined up in a grid? after nearly 2 years i find it quite boring. at least some customization would be cool.. even a home screen with focus on mail, calendar, something... and stacks or categores for apps we download

I'm just thinking. With all these push notifications, isn't the phone constantly going to be going off?

They're keeping it simple. It does its job nice.

actually thats the point. since the app store and being able to load tons of apps on the phone it doesnt do its job nice anymore. at the very least some sort of categorization would be cool

That's why people JB it, for customization.

Yeah, but current iPhone hardware is still more than capable. What kind of update could they come up with that current gen models wouldn't be able to run?

the new ones will have a shinyness gage to measure how glossy the other Apple products people own are (current models wont support the new feature so they will need to be disscontinued .... and everyone needs to run out and buy the new one)

:laugh:

The UI craps all over other phone brands.

your kidding right? palm pre, android to name a few that are nicer.

look at the Pre. i was so hoping apple would do something incredible for the UI to step it up with what the Pre will bring UI wise

dont get me wrong, the iphone is wonderful to use, and does some things incredibly well (like internet browsing for ex), but the UI is just old now.

Don't fix what ain't broke.

I agree but to put in artificial limits in to what your products can or cant based on profit run is wrong to the consumer (not saying support their hardware forever but a apple 3 gen limit has always bothered me ) if someone can upgrade their macs hardware why impose a software based limitation that checks for a model number then decides not to install (without a over ride)

then after a product is blocked from a upgrade only make new software that requires the os they blocked forcing said user to purchase new hardware.

say what you will about Windows or Linux or other OS's but none have these have ever imposed a limit to what u can install on without a override

I dont use Apple products but have seen many of my clients have fallen into this category such as one who spent 5k on a mac just to have no updates or ability or buy a new os after 3 years

"You can then send push notifications to your friends on your friend list in order to invite them into your game. You can BUY new weapons for real money (rocket launcher), and play together with your buddies."

Money makes the world go round...

EDIT: "Dr. Ge Wang."

That can't be real :laugh:

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
