    Use iCloud + iTunes In The Cloud to fix iTunes Plus’s Old Mistakes

    By Christopher Price on June 28, 2011

    Like many, I am still stuck with a sea of .m4p files. These are the old FairPlay-encrypted AAC files that were supposed to be superseded by iTunes Plus. iTunes Plus did away with DRM music, and for a small fee, you were able to “upgrade” all your old music; getting higher quality versions sans-DRM. At [...]

    The Mac App Store that Never Was, and the Windows App Store that May Be

    By Christopher Price on October 21, 2010

    A long time ago, in a Mac industry far, far away, there was a project I was secretly working on. It was a Mac App Store. For the sake of the developers, I’ll call them Team X. Team X had a great product on the market, it was great at updating Mac software. I wanted [...]

    Apple Will Let You Get Credit Card-less iTunes Account, if You Pick The Right Doorway

    By Christopher Price on May 13, 2009

    I don’t blame Apple for wanting customers who can impulse buy. But, at the same time, there are a lot of parents, consumers, and less well off people that don’t even want to have that option for the intended user. They want an iTunes Account that doesn’t have purchasing strings attached. Now, there was a [...]

    It’s Time to Podcast

    By Christopher Price on November 24, 2008

    With the latest iPhone update, I’ve found myself doing something I didn’t do before… listening to podcasts. Like many, I just didn’t see the need for them. If I want to watch a video, I’ll search for it on the web, download it… and usually watch it in higher quality than via a podcast. I [...]

    Apple Software Update Fixes Mozilla Objection

    Apple Software Update Fixes Mozilla Objection

    By Christopher Price on April 18, 2008

    While I wrote that Apple didn’t need to fix the Mozilla Objection (where Apple began offering up Safari to users via Apple Software Update on Windows)… it appears they went ahead and fixed it anyways. Under the new version, released alongside Safari 3.1.1, Apple Software Update 2.1 for Windows now separates new software and updates. As [...]

    DVD with HDi, Take Two

    By Christopher Price on April 8, 2008

    If Apple TV gets a Take Two, I at least get a second blog post on DVD going HD, right? I was wrong about adding HD tracks to the DVD disc. While viable, there’s a better path of less resistance: Who said HDi could only deliver supplemental material? What in the world is stopping HDi [...]

    Safari is Marketing, not Malware

    By Christopher Price on March 22, 2008

    A long, long time ago, I was having lunch with some Apple folk and engineers. I noted Safari for Windows, which at the time was top, top secret… and folks started to turn their heads away from the table when they heard I knew about it. I also noted how I was 100% sure that [...]

    iPhone Wireless Sync: Putting the Social to Shame

    By Christopher Price on November 28, 2007

    I’ve already touched on today, over on the PhoneNews.com Forums (in this post), that I suspect the February iPhone upgrade (I’m not calling it an update anymore) will offer Wireless Sync support. And, not the cheap Ad-hock Wireless Sync that Zune 2.0 added, but full wireless sync capacity… at least, the ability to sync using [...]
