Apple iPhone 6/29 就會出來了，雖然說真的真的很想敗下去，但是目前看起來要有那種閒錢的日子是還在遙遠的彼方。剛才碰巧看到這個新的廣告，看起來是想凸顯 Safari 的功能，所以就 Browse 到 NY Times。很巧的 (!?) 的是作這廣告時候的 NY Times (October 2, 2006) 首頁上大刺刺的擺著台灣之光王建民的報導，台灣國旗飄阿飄。新的廣告瀏覽著去年的 NY Times 首頁，嗯哼，這可真妙 XD

Quick Time 版的高畫質廣告在 [這邊]。

不寫太對不起了。

昨晚睡前忽然間想到 2007 Mac World Expo 的 Keynote 好像已經結束了齁，上網看了一下，果然 QT 版已經貼上去了。如大家所預料的，iPhone 出現了 XD

詳細介紹: 省了吧，反正還要半年才會出來。總之，敗定了！

UCSD 果然是好學校, Apple 都乖乖的給學生們 discount, 價錢比 costco 的低很多呢.

由第一次接觸 Podcasting 到現在過了多久? 大約半年多吧. 這種 independent production 的產品也逐漸步入商業化, 畢竟有些熱門的節目收視/聽率可是比電視還高. 我的 60GB 的 iPod 已經快丟滿了, 雖然說音樂還是佔的比較多, 但是 Podcast 加起來也有 2x GB. 隨著 Video iPod 的普遍, Video Podcast 的數目也跟著上升. 這種方便帶著走的廣播/電視節目實在很方便: 第一你不受時間地點限制觀賞/收聽, 第二往路上的選擇實在很多(到爆炸的情形), 第三則是所有節目通通都是免費的.

以下介紹幾個自己有在看也覺得很有趣的 Podcast:

Humor

  • Ask A Ninja
  • French Maid TV
  • Sex Survey: Dr Cockney
  • Strong Bad Emails & More!
  • The Daily Nut

Technology

  • Ask an Astronomer Videos
  • Cardiovascular Multimedia Information Network
  • commandN
  • Cranky Geeks
  • Diggnation
  • dl.tv
  • FLOSS Weekly
  • Futures in Biotech
  • Hak.5
  • Inside the Net
  • MacBreak
  • MAKE Magazine
  • Security Now!
  • this WEEK in TECH

News

  • ABC World News Tonight
  • CNN In Case You Missed It
  • CNN Now in the News

Miscellaneous

  • JapanesePod101.com
  • Learn Excel from MrExcel Video Podcast
  • NBA Playoffs Video Podcast
  • Shalom in the Home Video Podcast: Shmuley's Life Lessons
  • The 1UP Show
  • VH1 Best Week Ever

以上所有應該都可以直接由 iTunes Music Store 裡面直接搜尋然後訂閱, 沒錯, 通通都是英文. 為啥沒有中文節目呢 :| 反正短期內看起來是不會有的, 至少在 iTunes 正式進攻台灣市場前, podcast 在台灣就還是不會普遍. 不普遍 => 沒人聽 => 沒人做 => 沒競爭 => 沒優質節目 => 沒人聽 => 無線循環. 好悲哀阿 Orz~

ITMS Newsweek Podcast ITMS Newsweek Subscribed 所以最近這幾個月美國各家大小公司紛紛推出 podcast 丟在 ITMS 裡面讓人免費下載. 如果你喜歡某個 podcast, 簡單的點一下 Subscribe 後, iTunes 會定時去檢查有沒有新的 episode, 有的話自動下載下來, 然後下次 Sync 的時候丟入 iPod 裡面.

台灣的 Podcast 還沒什麼主流的廣播公司在做的樣子. 雖然早在 8 月時候的 Taipei Times 就寫說 “Apple launches its Podcast Directory service in Taiwan“:

These radio stations include UFO Radio (飛碟電台), Kiss Radio, Broadcasting Corp of China (中廣) and International Community Radio Taipei (ICRT), he said, adding that the company may add more partners to the service at a later stage.

阿這些啥時候要出現在 ITMS 的 Podcast 裡面阿… 或許要等到 ITMS 有台灣中文版 (or maybe 台灣於國際上被承認主權獨立後) 才會?

ITMS Countries JP ITMS podcasting日文版的多方便阿 :’(

目前台灣應該有一些 podcast stations 了吧, ijliao 長輩的這篇雖然已經幾個月了, 不過現在階段應該還是差不多那樣… Orz 等待阿… ITMS in Taiwan, 不然 podcast 部分先出來也可以 XD

附帶一提, 目前英文版 ITMS 裡面的 Podcast, 目前最常聽的應該是 TWiT, this WEEK in TECH 吧. 雖然大部分的東西都在 digg 或者 /. 上面都有討論, 但是由於那幾個 host 在一起的時候很常爆出好笑的片段, 聽他們討論好玩多了. 最近才看到 gslin 長輩的 post 也提到的 Sony Rootkits 事件, 這件事是上個禮拜的 TWiT 頭條, 我想這個禮拜大概又會再來一次吧 (LAME 的 LGPL 那部份), 聽他們損 Sony 真的很好笑阿… XD Diggnation 的 podcast 也不錯, 但是看 video podcast 的效果會更好. NPR 系列的也都不錯啦

話說如果 iTunes Music Store (ITMS) 真的開發了台灣市場的話, 只要價錢合理, 我大概會去敗一堆吧. 說真的, 好羨慕那些可以合法使用 ITMS 的那些國家. 到底有幾個國家了? 以下節錄自 Wikipedia 的文章:

Global availability: United States, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Norway, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Puerto Rico, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Australia and Japan addressed

難道 Apple 不加入 Taiwan 是因為 Taiwan 在國際上不被承認是一個主權獨立的國家? 那台獨的口號可以再多加一個: 這樣 Apple 就會來台灣開 ITMS 了 XD 不知道啥時候才會實現阿.. ~

UCSD Bookstore 果然神奇, 別的地方不只買不到而且很貴, 沒想到這裡不只買的到還比別人便宜不少, 大間的大學果然屌阿 XD 不用很久錄音的 Mod 應該就出來了, 繳那麼多學費, 不把課都錄下來怎麼對得起 -\_- 所以公司們加油了 Orz.

Apple 的包裝沒話講, 好到根本不捨得丟掉包裝紙, 尤其是貼在 Nano 螢幕上那個多國 “Do not steal music” 標籤, 真是棒呆了 Orz. 初步玩起來感覺比正常版的 iPod 遲鈍了一咪咪, 除此之外, 就跟 iPod Photo 差不多啦, 當然, 螢幕小多了 Orz. 小螢幕是還免強可以看啦, 但是想必根大號的 photo 感覺差很多吧. 傳輸根據 Review 只剩下 USB only, Firewire 不支援了. Why? Ask Apple. 跟 size 有關係 XD? 不過根據另外這篇 Nano Stress Test 看起來, nano 似乎很耐用 -\_-? 從 50 mph 的車上掉下來都還可以用了… XD

=== SIXTH SOLUTION INSTALLING MACOSX ON NATIVE X86! ===

First of all, you can’t install OS X on a new partition, it needs it’s own drive. For this guide Im installing it on my Sony Vaio TR2A. Since I only have one harddrive, it means I’m wiping windows and all my files in the process. You can easily follow the same steps but instead install it on a second harddrive in your PC. Here is how I have succesfully install OS X x86 NATIVELY on my laptop!

First of all, I think your CPU needs at LEAST sse2. For rosetta and to get itunes and other ppc apps working, you need sse3. My vaio has a Pentuim M, so no rosetta for me. Everything else works. Im posting this from the OS X x86 port of Firefox Wink

1. Download “VMWare files for patched Mac OS X Tiger Intel” from your favorite torrent site. (Hint: Use the search function).

2. Copy tiger-x86-flat.img from the archive to an external USB drive (it’s 6gb)

3. Download Ubuntu Live CD (link) … be sure you get the “Live CD”!!

4. Burn the ubuntu iso, stick it in your pc, and boot it! (make sure you have your bios set to boot to CD)

5. Once ubuntu boots and the gui finally comes up, hook up the USB drive you copied the 6gb image to. A window should pop up showing the contents of the drive. Take note of where its mounted. It should be /Devices/Yourdrivesvolumename

6. Open a terminal window and cd to that directory (/Devices/Yourdrivesvolumename). Do an “ls” to make sure you are in the right place (you should see the 6gb img file.

7. In the terminal window type:

dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda

Replace hda with the correct drive! If you only have one drive, its probably hda. Thats what mine was. You are about to erase this entire drive so make sure youve got it right and make sure you want to do this! Hit enter. It takes a while… took my vaio about 9 minutes.

8. When it’s done, remove the ubuntu disc and shut down the pc. Disconnect your usb drive. Thats it! When you power it back on, OS X should boot!

For whatever reason, mine hangs when its loading. If this happens to you, boot with the -x option (hit a button at the darwin screen when you boot your pc. enter “-x” and hit enter). Should work without any problems, and I dont see any restrictions being in safe mode.

You’ll notice there is a login screen, and you dont know the password! This image was created by “deadmoo” and we can easily change his password. Reboot the machine again. Again, hit a button at the darwin screen. This time type “-v” and hit enter. At the command prompt screen type:

sh /bin/sh
passwd curtis
(change the password to what you like)
passwd deadmoo
(change the passwrod to what you like)

Done! Now reboot once more, and again use the “-x” option. Everything should boot, and at the login screen enter your new password.

WELCOME TO THE OS X x86 CLUB! Look ma, no vmware!

Note: If you are installing this in a PC and have multiple drives, you dont need to use an external drive or linux distro. Simply dd the image in the same manner to any physical drive in your pc, and when its done boot to that drive and it should work. For windows users, there is a port of dd for windows you can use here.

I messed around with this in vmware before installing natively, and I can tell you running it native is a million times faster! Its full speed. USB works, ethernet works, all the x86 software works. Enjoy!
