sounds and then SO

Create Digital Music reports on a new app called IOS Filtatron, “an iPhone Filtering, Effects, and Sampling App”, basically a Moogerfooger für's iPhone.

“Filtering, Effects, and Sampling App”, basically Moogerfoogers on your phone. This is looking pretty amazing interface-wise; very true to the signature Moog aesthetic with the Little Phatty style rotary encoders and soft buttons. From a strictly user experience perspective this must have been a lot of fun to design. It will be interesting to see how it actually sounds compared to the real thing though — I’m going to take a wild guess and say it sounds nothing like a MoogerFooger. Software analog modeling is an imperfect art (or perhaps too perfect); it’s best to think of it as it’s own beast entirely than a faithful representation of the sonic characteristics of a true analog circuit. At any rate it’s interesting to see music technology makers pushing the capabilities of mobile devices. Software like this can may never replace analog hardware, but it would be nice to have the portability and power when you’re away from the studio, even if it comes with a healthy dose of compromise.”

“If we hadn’t made Blue Boxes, there’d be no Apple”

Super
At this point, the idea suggested, whether the patenting of generally valid concepts, Words, language may not be as socially devastating effects, such as the patenting of genetic code. Or how to gently.

Here’s something David Copperfield can’t make disappear: a lawsuit filed by Apple in California Northern District Court. At issue: the word magic.

Apple claims ownership of magic, demanding that Copperfield immediately cease using the word, and seeking $4.2 million in punitive damages.

No question, magic has been in the air in Cupertino. Following Steve Jobs’ introduction of the “magical and revolutionary” iPad, Apple has used magic to describe iPad on its website as well as in videos, press releases, newspaper/magazine ads and TV commercials. Apple also sells a Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and only last week introduced the Magic Footpad. Indeed, The Academy of Magical Arts in Los Angeles tells us they’ve already discussed dropping their use of the word, simply because Apple has run it into the ground.

But David Copperfield is standing his ground. “I’m a magician. I do magic. End of story,” reads his 9-word statement. 16 words, if you include “Tell them where they can shove it,” which Copperfield gracefully added following his statement.

Apple’s press release explains, “David Copperfield has every right to entertain, but no right to confuse. In the public eye, magic equals Apple. Mr. Copperfield dilutes the Apple brand and profits by his use of an Apple asset.”

…, Maker of a metal alloy based on zirconium, which is also the name ‘Liquidmetal’ heard, should be and twice as hard as titanium is /. The company has previously probably include. collaborated with NASA and among other things makes parts for the watch manufacturer Omega, as shown in this video is fine (** pant CLOCK!):

What Apple now intends to, is also interesting, but also in terms of materials used. Or is it simply just thinner, because stable, and thereby facilitate housing feasible. The MacBook Pro brings with it quite a bit on the scale.

Völlig revolutionäres Konzept meiner Meinung nach, zumindest für Apple. Thema: Open Source Battery.
Selber die Batterien aus dem Gerät herausnehmen können! Absolutes Novum.
Das Ding gibts nun tatsächlich, kein Hoax. Würde gerne dazu die Produktpräse (heißt dat bei denen nicht Keynote oder so?) mit Steve Jobs sehen. “This is an amazing and extraordinary little Gadget. Bla bla bla..”

Sechs silbernen, superminimalistisch designten Batterien sind tatsächlich mit dabei, soll angeblich die stromsparendste Wandwarze seiner Klasse sein (ja jedes Ladegerät zieht fast genausoviel Strom, wenn kein Verbraucher angeschlossen ist, liebe Kinder.), der obligatorische modulare Stecker ist ebenfalls mit von der Partie.

Anlass zu diesem Produkt ist wohl übrigens die Erweiterung der Produktlinie um das neue Trackpad, damit gibts nun drei Geräte von Apple, die solche Batterien benötigen. Die anderen beiden sind das Wireless Keyboard und die wireless Maus. Damit hat man dann auch diese Kandidaten bis in die Eingeweide durchgestylt. :)
