- zaren, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20@P155 & norbiu:
"MAC" = Media Access Control, i.e. MAC address on your network card
"Mac" = Macintosh
You wouldn't say "I drove my CAR" or "I'm installing UBUNTU on my old DELL", would you?
It's one of those semantics things... makes some of us Mac users go kinda oogy... like when you see the work orders coming down for the "PC and MAC upgrades"... PC stands for Personal Computer (Windows-based, specifically), but MAC != Mac. - 11thDay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15edgesuite.net is owned by Akamai. They scale web traffic for Apple I believe.
- Wilcox, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18I have found what the EDGESUITE.NET site is. If you go to godaddy.com and lookup the whois domain it is registered by akamai.com
Now I found a good article on the company at wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a corporation that provides, among other services, global Internet content caching.
So that is somthing apple is probably using to cache its streams and distribute the files...
+digg from me! - norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13From Engadget:
--
iTunes 7 is 99% for sure!!!
I've been watching the download folders on their servers and this folder didn't exist until just a few minutes ago, now it's there and forbidden.

- kevbryant, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16nah, pretty sure they just post the video after the event is over at these pages. thats what theyve done in the past. its not a live link, unless I am just crazy. plus the page says nothing about live.
- 11thDay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Yep. If you go to the Akamai site, you'll also see that Apple is one of their clients.

They are huge. They've got yahoo!, Warner, MTV, BBC, IBM, etc. - Stecchino, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10That's correct, it will NOT be live. "Video-on-demand" just means the QuickTime page was updated too soon.

http://live.ilounge.com/ - dirtDIGGler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Free Coverart from Itunes :) woohoo!
- ductions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I have the sept_2006_1_650_ref.mov open, and it says "Live Broadcast - Paused"
surely this means it will be a live broadcast or am i being naive - racerfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Amazon's service is wretched. Very limited in what you can do with the downloaded movies and they're expensive.
A reviewer basically described the service as a sign that the movie studios are trying really hard to make sure downloadable movies fail. - bloodborne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Execpt that service doesn't work on Macs.
- iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Awesome! :D
It says Live Broadcast! :D - norbiu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4correction: it appears as though the nano's packaging is 52% smaller, not the nano itself.
- alantocheri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4um... you're insane?
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Today we're introducing the biggest single enhancement: iTunes 7
You say "it looks the same," but it isn't
[the left nav is more cleanly organized without being radically different]
We've added a View switch, a 3-position switch. we've added a 2nd view called album view, so you can scroll through your music library and look at it by album. what if you ripped your CDs and don't have the covers? Today we're announcing free missing album cover art for all the music in your library if you have an itune acct. itunes will automatically download it for free
but there's something even better. that's the third view. it's called Cover Flow view. [LOOKS LIKE FLIPPLING THROUGH YOUR CD RACK - DerTeufel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3www.macrumors.com is so far the only page getting continuous updates and not going down. Just text though, no pictures.
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The iPod Nano: The 2nd Generation
It's made out of aluminm, even thinner than the first gen. They're bringing back colors (like the mIni) It looks similar to the Mini, actually.
Battery life increased from 15 to 24 hours, gapless playback, instant search like the big iPod, and quick scrolling. Comes with the new headphones.
Comes in three models, 2GB model in silver, 4GB in silver, pink, green, blue, and 8GB in black.
$149 for 2GB, $199 for 4GB, $249 for 8GB model. Double the storage for the same price.
New packaging is 52% less volume than the old iPod nano. It's more "environmentally friendly".
All three are available today. - b5bar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I did too, however http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/aug_2006/event/index.html is an actual working link to the WWDC video.
You can link to that page from Apple's own page
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/
All of the working links go to that strange edgesuite.net URL
So I think / Hope It is valid! - escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3we have games for the ipod now
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+310:30 am iLounge: you can now sync between multiple computers using an iPod, as long as both are authorized on the same account
- rattboi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Zaren: Exactly. Thanks for explaining.
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+310:52 am iLounge: You can take content to computer or iPod, but now... TV
10:53 am iLounge: Apple is releasing its long-rumored set-top box in Q1 2007. It will be Wireless
10:54 am iLounge: Like a Mac Mini... iTV is its name (not final). - dunning, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3and everyone elses
- dirtDIGGler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+310:28 am iLounge: TV shows are now encoded at 640x480 (h264), up from 320x240
- turbodigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2so is ilounge.
- usernamed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Am I the only one not getting any sound from the stream off apple? I'm on a MacBook...Tried before and after Quicktime update.
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Box is like 1/2 the size of Mac mini.
USB, ethernet, 802.11 wireless, component video, optical audio, HDMI ports.
Works with Apple Remote.
Jobs demoing on stage.
Interface is like next-generation Front Row software. - alantocheri, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Edit: beat me to it escheppa.. digg down
Apple is releasing its long-rumored set-top box in Q1 2007. It will be Wireless! - McNubbins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A lot of people (myself included) were expecting a 16:9 aspect ratio iPod since they were expected (and did) roll out movies. I suppose the new improvements are cool though.
Besides, a 16:9 screen would look sort of odd I guess...viva la black bars! - escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+211:10 am iLounge: It all comes down to the artists
11:10 am iLounge: One More Thing (again)
11:09 am iLounge: Steve says: Apple is now in your den, living room, car, pocket - dunning, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yaay the apple store is back up!!!
- dunning, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2endgadeget has pics of everything sept for the new ipod nano
- fishcough, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Yes, it's very unusual to see the iTunes Music Store down - and down deliberately, with the message, "It's Showtime. The iTunes Store is being updated."
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It looks like this [a flatter Mini] it's called iTV. That's a codeword. we need to come up with a better name.
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+210:59 am iLounge: Video looks very close to DVD quality even on a huge theater sized projector
10:58 am iLounge: Video access is instantaneous, looks like watching a DVD - dirtDIGGler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As soon as they update the store in less than an hour probably.
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21/2 size of Mac Mini, built-in power supply, USB, Ethernet, 802.11 "wireless component video", optical audio and HDMI ports, plus old RCA stereo audio ports. Works with Apple Remote
- dunning, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3dayum am I ever glad i waited to buy my ipod nano
- quailtamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This was not meant to be a live stream, it isn't "not working." The story is inaccurate because it only links to the placeholder page for the video AFTER the event.
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All three are available today
- dirtDIGGler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Will work on 5G iPods
- soundboy64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2DVD is 720x480 so 640x480 isn't too terribly far off
- cello, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No new ipod (AKA G6) is too bad....
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"We knew we were in business with a great partner, and we know the consumer has spoken because the success of TV shows has been enormous on this platform," Iger continued. "We're confident that movies are going to work as well. We're very thankful to work with Apple and Steve, and we congratulate you on this next step."
- borb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well the event has started....and he's talking about iPods...so it's not going to go live I suppose...
- BrickSprickly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It says "Live Broadcast" and is trying to load something....not working yet.
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+210:37 am iLounge: Today, films from Walt Disney, Pixar, Touchstone, Miramax. (all Disney owned)
