MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

figures...

i just gave in and went with m-audio...

Breakout box?

"Asteroid"?

you sure this isn't an apple portable game system?

the point being that this is Apple's model..

give away a sweet app that handles your digital media and sell the optional accessory (iSight, iPod) that is beautifully integrated with it..

The optional accessory is usually compatible with Windows, so as to spur Apple Awakening (or Apple Enlightenment)

Okay, so that last part sounds arrogant..

Have to disagree though that this will work "with any Mac". Model would have to have Firewire and be able to run GB.

oh yeah.. they've changed iTMS again.. the intro screen has changed so that it prompts you to select your country since the Canadian one isn't up yet..

Oh... I just love the "bi-annual" Apple rumor season..but, if this one proves true, it would be a kick-ass accessory !!

But, to grow a market, one usually must create a desire for the product...

Just think of the desire Apple would create for this little ditty... not to mention the "halo-effect" it would have.... if only His Steveness would advertise it !!

eh.. I can't get into the iTMS now.. hrrrrm.. something's cookin'..

I think it's great there is finally a relatively "cheap" firewire alternative to the myriad USB audio interfaces out there but if the specs are true, I don't see how this interface stands out from the USB interfaces. As long as you are only recording a stereo input with a "consumer" quality hardware, firewire doesn't really have a big advantage over USB.

I KNEW IT!!!

CANADIAN STORE OPEN!!!

The Irish store is open also!!

But if you click on the actual macteens link the website is blank.. Apple has contacted them..

<http://news.google.com/news?q=itunes music store&hl=en&lr;=&sa=N&tab=wn>

okay well run a search for itunes music store in google's news service.. you'll see the macteens image

the MDN "LAFF of the Day"....

http://management.silicon.com/itdirector/0,39024673,39126051,00.htm

(first paragraph)...

Im pretty sure MDN either overlooked this one...or will post it later...

a word of caution, tho...dont be drinking something as you read this...

(I bet Enderle or Thurrot wrote this one... lol )

If this is true I may even be tempted to give up my trusty Mackie 1202 but it'd have to be really good for that. Firewire would be interesting though.

Umm. Nothing indicates Canada and Ireland have been added based on current iTMS list of countries at bottom of page.... Anyay, what does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Maybe this baby will be sold as aSteroid ?

Mike,

Before posting why didn't you check... too lazy? I suspect the store(s) are coming by the end of the week. They are not listed as of yet as I said above.

The cockroach advertisement on the home page is a new low....

ah.. what this has to do with the topic? well.. gee.. iTunes kinda pushes iPod sales... much like Garageband.. etc etc..

futhermore.. the actual site is blank because.. DUH.. it was pulled by Apple.. i said that..

checking the itms would be an obvious place to confirm this.. the canadian store isn't up yet, a glitch was obviously caught and a picture was taken..

the ipod u2 would be a real rip-off if sb bought it in Canada and couldn't use the iTMS to redeem their DBS..Canadian store should be live TODAY..

another scoop !!

How about over 1 TB of storage ???

Check out this beast....

'Enlightenment' is the right term. "The Enlightenment: the period in the 18th century in Europe, when many people began to emphasize the importance of science and reason, rather than religion and tradition"

That is to say, although there appear to be similarities with faith in the cult of mac, that faith is evidence based. We have experience of it being better and just working. Microsoft are more like a religion than Apple - being blindly followed by millions even when much of it is complete nonsense.

Mike,

iTMS was behaving the same way last Sunday AM in Canada. If you go to preferences and show links to music store you can still get there through them.

Hywel:
"Microsoft are more like a religion than Apple - being blindly followed by millions even when much of it is complete nonsense."

I like that quote! Thanks :D

Hywel's quote..

no one who uses MS's products really cares about the company.. which is why they are not 'religious'.. there's nothing particularily great about the OS except for it's developer support...

on the other hand, mac users are rabid promoters of the brand.. as in.. evangelical..

get it?
