Apple's new music service is underwhelming, but I'm sticking to my guns that this is just a first step. Buck a song is not a good deal for anybody, when the incremental cost of goods is zero. Also, how do Indies get access to iPods... that's the real market IMHO... Comments 10:37:40 PM

My .mac homepage: always interested in easy, cheap ways to publish on the Net, so I played with my .mac homepage today (I was one of the folks who ponied up $49 to keep my previously free .mac account last year). Previously (2 weeks ago) I started a 'blog about Weblogging using the nifty iBlog app on .mac: today I moved a photo album (a portfolio of pictures of photographers) onto the site, and a few links. The album was published out of iPhoto 2, the free Mac OS X app. The pix are black-and-white, a project I started years ago when I was still working as a photographer. .mac is relatively easy, the iPhoto album was very easy (but I wish it would pick up captions from the 'comments' field)... but the .mac tools are limited... no free-form page tools... and the site has usual slow-response problems...

 Adios AirPort, hello Netgear: I bought my AirPort 802.11b wireless hub when they first came out - was it 5 years ago? It worked great until it succumbed to the infamous filter capacitor failure, which I was able to fix with a soldering iron and instructions found on the Net.
Recently, the AirPort would just suddenly stop routing IP about once an hour: it's traffic lights would stop flickering, and sometimes it would just hang with a single glowing red light. Reloading firmware, resetting etc. (per Apple Knowledge Base) didn't help. So when Fry's advertised Netgear 802.11b wireless routers (With built-in Firewall and 4-port 10-100 switch) for $39 (the AirPort was $300 new) it was a no-brainer replacement. A shiny new 802.11g AirPort Extreme would have been $199, and I don't often need 54 mbps throughput on our wireless LAN... |
