I was going to write a little thing about how fun the ngmoco game Topple was, maybe even with an accompanying screen shot, but the App Store is still ridiculously slow here.
Instead, I’m going to write just a little bit about monocultures and why they suck. When everything works, you can almost believe that owning [...]
At the risk of drawing the ire of the Apple Masters, and ridicules from people telling me to move to a real province, has anyone else on the east coast noticed an appalling lack of performance in the Apple iTunes Music Store lately? Searching for iPhone apps, music, and podcasts all sucks right now. Worse, [...]
The recent fiasco about Apple limiting an application on iTunes’ AppStore is well-documented. A great comment from the Twittersphere even hints at the kind of dark times this may be the harbinger of.
I’ve babbled about how DRM is bad for consumers and bad for the world before. I think it’s important to keep in mind [...]
I posted yesterday about some of the features I wished my iPod could do, and some of the things it can now as of the 2.0 software upgrade. There was a huge din of silence surrounding some vagueness about being able to watch video and listen to podcasts on your iPods. To clarify, of course [...]
Now that I’ve had an iPod touch for a little over a week and gotten used to it and what it’s capable of, I have a few ideas about what I wish it could do. These are maybe obvious omissions to its capabilities which would really beef it up as a portable entertainment device.

I updated my online music library today. It’s been overlong. The current stats are 8436 songs, 27.3 days, 56.3 GB. That’s for a Smart Playlist gathering all checked tracks and excluding videos and podcasts. If including the full library, I’d have 12863 items, 41:12:51:32 total time and 82.34GB. This week I had to deselect a [...]
I’ve been meaning to get this Nintendo DS homebrew HOWTO out the door in the last month but I keep getting distracted. Right now I’m too pissed to talk about it. Apple’s turned into a complete asshole in the span of about a month. Maybe two. Maybe it’s been brewing for a lot longer than [...]
Kudos to EMI for being the first (major label) out of the gate to sell digital music online through the iTMS without DRM. It’s worked for other music services such as eMusic, Magnatune and Warp Records (who sell some albums in lossless FLAC!) and it’s nice to see them listening to what people actually want [...]
