I recently bought a Humax Set Top Box following the demise of my Freesat STB. Apart from Citylink Beckenham making me wait an hour to collect it I am delighted all round. These things are pure genius and I have no doubt Humax will take over the world while bigger companies are fannying around with things like DVD recorders and Blu Ray. The real breakthrough will come when PVRs get wifi and can connect directly to the Internet.

On the insistence of iTunes I decided to update my iPod Touch to the new software version 1.14

After nearly an hour downloading, I tried to switch my iPod back on to see if all had gone well, and quite simply it hadn't.

I have now spent the last hour restoring the factory settings to my machine and have lost my capability to send and receive e-mails, weather, notepad, stocks and the thing that pisses me off the most...all my contacts, over 200 of them!

I have just the simple 8gb version of the Touch and it does seem to be a bit of a coincidence in the light of the newer, bigger 32gb version just recently being released, something I cannot afford and at the moment I don't really want to upgrade to.

About a month before Apple holds WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) in San Francisco and it has been confirmed that the all mighty Steve Jobs will be presenting his world renound Keynote on June 09, 2008 at 10:00 am pst. So feel free to mark your calendars like I did.

Bom, eu primeiramente gostaria de pedir desculpas sobre minha ausência no site, temos uns dias sem postar, mas é por uma boa causa...

Estou preparando a nova versão do blog, que deve ir ao ar ainda nesta semana, portanto acessem o Apple Addicted pelo novo endereço appleaddicted.com.br assim que estiver pronto o site será atualizado.

Direttamente da un amico che lavora alla TIM, un'indiscrezione tanto ricercata quanto (per me) assurda.

L'Iphone, uno degli ultimi fiori all'occhiello di Apple, che entrerà in commercio nel mercato Italiano entro giugno sotto i marchi Tim e Vodafone, avrà un prezzo di lancio di 499 euro, almeno per quanto riguarda Tim. Solo una notizia di corridoio, niente di ufficiale.Aspettatevi dunque smentite o conferme nei prossimi giorni. A presto.

Un par de rumores confirmados hoy en el mundo Apple:

1. Apple anuncia que Steve Jobs participará con su keynote en la conferencia WWDC a las 10 de la mañana, hora Pacífico en el Moscone de San Francisco.

E' passato diverso tempo dall'ultima volta che ho scritto un post riguardante il fantasmagorico Mondo Mac; se non ricordo male si trattava del lancio del nuovo Mac Book Fly, il supersottile portatile Apple. Purtroppo il tempo davvero non basta mai: non riesco ad andare a correre, non riesco a portare avanti questo blog come vorrei e non riesco più a seguire alcune piccole cose come, appunto, il Mondo Mac.

Ma stasera, finalmente, complice il fatto che il resto della family alle 22:40 circa si è inabissata nel mondo dei sogni, sono riuscito a navigare un pochino nel magico universo della mela e ho trovato alcune cose davvero interessanti, diciamo bizzarre.

Episodes of Rome and The Sopranos pop for $2.99 while The Wire and Sex and the City (yes the complete series) go for the iTunes "standard" pricing of $1.99. We just fired-up iTunes and confirmed it just like the rumor predicted. With Apple backing down from its strict, flat-rate pricing...

.. took just as long and lots of nerves as the other times. All the questions and decisions.. 

Some weeks ago I found iWeb on a iMac which I use to take when I visit my friend. And I really liked it. I still like it. The templates are brilliant and there was no need to think about all the stuff beyond the content. Actually I thought iWeb brings everything I need.

My life is changing and inspired from iWeb I wanted to start -for the third time- my own blog with some pages about me, some pictures from my traveling etc. But there was still one BIG question: How can I create several categories for my blog when I use iWeb?! Hey, I want to write about different things and don't want to mix them all up!

GEE!!

Leo en BusinessWeek un interesante artículo titulado "Closing the Door to Microsoft Vista".
