iTunes 9 Now Available

Apple has released the next version of their music library/store software: iTunes. The new version is known as iTunes 9. It has several new features including a redesigned store, an improved interface for syncing iPhones and iPod Touches, Home share and more. There are 30 million iPhones and 20 million iPod Touches and the software for them (iPhone OS) has been updated from 3.0 to 3.1. iPhone OS 3.1 is free to update if you have an iPhone or iPhone OS 3.0 software at the moment. It is available through iTunes 9. To see more information, and to download iTunes 9 for free go to www.apple.com.

Is it time to Spotify?

Spotify is the music revolution many predicted years ago. A huge online library of tracks and free access to listen to them over the internet. Last.fm and other 'custom internet radio' services led the way but Spotify really brings the concept to life through it’s software based experience. You download Spotify and sign up and within minutes you have access to over 6 million songs. Not bad eh? There are adverts (audio and visual) but for a tenner a month you can be ad free. And now Spotify has released an iPhone app and an Android app for use by premium Spotify users. So your ten pounds a months gets you Spotify on the move. You can even download a playlist to listen on the underground or the train where 3G is signal is unreliable. So is it time to change your listening habits? To give up on owning music altogether? Not for me, yet. I like to have my music and will continue to buy it. But I do enjoy finding new music on Spotify. You can ‘try before you buy’ too which is better than iTunes 30 second previews.

BBC Sport Coverage of the Story

Moyles Barrowman Chart Campaign UPDATED

BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show: The Chris Moyles Show is championing a new hit record: John Barrowman - I Made It Through the Rain! They said on air yesterday (Monday) that they want to get this amazing song into the chart, the UK official top 40. Then the Radio 1 Chart Show on Sunday would have to play it, much to everyone's amusement. So, one day in (Tuesday Morning) they had made it to 11 in the UK iTunes chart. But as of now, John Barrowman - I Made It Through the Rain is at number 8 in the UK iTunes Chart! To continue the campaign please follow the link below and part with 79p to feel part of the Chris Moyles Show Barrowman Chart Campaign!



UPDATE: Today John Barrowman (Twitter hashtag #JohnBarrowman) is up to number 7 in the iTunes chart! Also if 79p is a bit steep for a song you don't want check out www.amazon.co.uk where it is only 29p! I'm sure if those sales are entered into the Official chart show though, does anyone know if they are? Please leave a comment with the answer!

Strange Sighting

On 25/07/09 at approximately 10:40pm we saw a glowing orange light pass across the sky. Two minutes later another one came across on a very similar trajectory. Having seen the space shuttle and international space station pass over before we assumed it could have been them but, then, after another two minutes another one came over. From NASA's site there were no sightings scheduled for that day where we were. Six passed overhead in total. They were not flashing and were moving at a constant speed. There have been reports in the local paper of Chinese Lanterns, could this be a possibility? I think that the objects were too large and too bright and traveling too fast to be Chinese Lanterns. but on the other hand I don't know what they are! I also don't think that they could be aircraft as they were very bright and there was no noise when they flew over. It would be unusual for an aircraft to have a constant light and not flashing navigation lights? They looked similar to the ISS when that passes over, but they were orange not white like the ISS. I have a zoomed in picture and a video below.

If you have any ideas as to what they could be please leave a comment.

Here is a photo of the one of the objects (zoomed in very close):


Here is a video of one passing over:

Display Aspect Ratios

Aspect Ratio, if set up incorrectly, can hinder your enjoyment of TV/Films/Video Games. But no one pays much attention to published aspect ratios and often stretch the display, or lop of the sides, to prevent black strips at the top or sides. This website shows you various scenarios so you can compare the black strips you SHOULD have when viewing various size images. Stretching and panning reduces the quality of the image. You can use this website to check that you have your Bluray/DVD player/STB (set top box) set up correctly. http://web.forret.com/tools/aspect.asp

Muse Website Re-Launched

Muse have re-launched their website http://www.muse.mu/ to coincide with the countdown to their next studio album: The Resistance. Below is the official lowdown on the new website as published on their News section:
Quoting Muse

"Welcome to the all new muse.mu! We've had a pretty major overhaul and there are lots of new features for you to explore including MuseWiki and Google Maps integration plus commentable news and pics for Muse Members. More info below:

THE HOMEPAGE
Here you can keep up to date on the latest news and tour dates, plus see the most recent comments on the site and watch as the photo box takes you through all the band's official images! Underneath the news section you can check out the band's latest tweets on their official Twitter channel and keep up to date with news stories about the band posted on other websites.

NEWS
In the news section you can browse through stories chronologically and subscribe to the RSS feed if you want to make sure you get the latest news first. In fact, if you want more RSS you can subscribe to feeds for News, Gigs, Photos and News From The Web over in the links section.

TOUR DATES
Check out the band's forthcoming tour dates complete with venue location maps and ticket info. Then go back in time and have a look at every gig the band have ever played! If you're a Muse Member you can upload photos to appear on these pages and you can edit the setlist over on the MuseWiki to see it appear on muse.mu. Tour Dates is also the first section that utilises the brand new feature, the Muse Map! Click to "view map" in this section to see all the dates on a world map, filter by country, city and year to find the ones you went to. Then, add your attendence on the gig page to appear in the attendees list and notch up another gig in your Member Profile.

Google Announce Chrome Operating System

Google have announced on their blog (Click Here) that they are developing an OS dubbed Google Chrome OS. It isn't the first time Google have ventured into the world of the operating system. Google Android is an OS for smart phones. Currently available in the UK with the T-Mobile G1. But this new Chrome OS will be designed to run on netbooks at first and later PC's. The mantra is for a simple, safe and secure OS that is easy to use and won't be hassled by viruses targeted at Microsoft Windows PC's. This is an ambitious project as Microsoft are huge players in producing Operating Systems such as the soon coming Windows 7 and they have 96% market share of the Netbook market which is the first for Chrome OS to tackle (According to BBC News). This OS is being built on the success of Google Chrome the web browser which is currently used by 30 million people according to Google. Even Internet Explorer users often install the Google Toolbar to make their browser better for searching, despite the inclusion of a Safari style search bar in later versions of IE (7 & 8). For more in depth details of the project check out Googles blogpost here.

Firefox 3.5

Mozilla Firefox 3.5 is out now! It's available for Mac and PC.

Wolfram|Alpha

Wolfram|Alpha is a new search engine (everyone sighs...) but unlike Microsoft's Bing which try's to make decisions for you or other Google rivals that actually don't work (yes Cuil I mean you!) Wolfram|Alpha is maths based. It doesn't try to search the internet for products and services it searches for statistics and numbers. You can enter in a place, such as London and it will return with the population and a whole host of other numerical facts. You can enter a date (such as when you were born) and it will tell you how long ago or far away that day is. It even knows the meaning of life! It's embedded below so you can try it out from within this blog post! Enjoy!

Windows 7 Versions

Microsoft have published on their website a list of the Windows 7 versions and what each of them contain ahead of it's launch later this year. Unlike Windows Vista, Windows 7 releases build on the feature set of the version below. This will be a great relief to users who may want a combination of 'business' and 'home' features without forking out for the Ultimate version. Here is a link to the versions page

Windows 7 starter will also be available for netbooks and underpowered notebooks/laptops.

Microsoft's new set of 3 versions of Windows 7 (Home Premium, Business & Ultimate) and Windows 7 Starter are yet to rival the simplicity of selecting an appropriate OS for a Mac as there is only Mac OS X Leopard (coming later this year Mac OS X Snow Leopard).

Adobe release Reader 9

Adobe Reader 9 is now available to download. Here are some reasons to upgrade: Improved Launch Speed, compatibility with Adobe Acrobat 9 Formats including PDF Portfolios, compatibility with new online features. For more a more in depth analysis of what's new in 9 click here.

Firefox 3.5 RC

Mozilla's open source web browser, Firefox, is being updated to version 3.5. At the moment developers can download Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate to work on add-ons/themes/etc for when the new version is finally released.



Mozilla Firefox seems to be the most powerful browser you can download. [They claim, as all web browser developers do, that theirs is the quickest.] By powerful I mean that it is cross platform and widely accepted as 'the alternative' web browser on all formats. For example on a Windows PC you are expected to use Internet Explorer unless you are into computing. In which case you will probably choose to download Firefox over Apple Safari or Opera. Firefox is familiar to IE users and highly customisable. I think that the open source community also appeals to users. On a Mac Apple hope that you will use the bundled Safari, which is very good. They more than accept that Firefox is the ideal cross platform alternative browser because although Mozilla Firefox correctly displays and is compatible with MobileMe's www.me.com Apple don't have to advertise this, but they do. Apple support MobileMe on Safari (Mac & PC) and Firefox (Mac & PC). In doing so they allow PC users to continue using Firefox and use their MobileMe service.

Microsoft Announce New Features for Xbox 360 at E3

At E3 in LA last week Microsoft announced a load of new features for their Xbox 360 console. The announcements range from a new controller, Project Natal, new games and new third party features. The first (and most exciting) announcement is Project Natal. A new 'controller' that uses YOU are YOUR actions to control on screen action. It uses cameras and microphones to bring you into the game. No more button bashing to win at Street Fighter! Here is what Microsoft say about Project Natal on the xbox website.

Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun -- the only experience needed is life experience.

Check out xbox's Project Natal page for more information.

A Google Wave is coming...

Google Wave is going to be a communication and collaboration tool to potentially replace email / IM and more... I will keep you posted when I know more. At the moment it is just a developer preview.

Google Wave preview website says:

"What is Google Wave?
Google Wave is a product that helps users communicate and collaborate on the web. A "wave" is equal parts conversation and document, where users can almost instantly communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Google Wave is also a platform with a rich set of open APIs that allow developers to embed waves in other web services and to build extensions that work inside waves."

This is the Google Wave logo that we will be seeing a lot more once it is launched:

Google Wave has a lot of potential to better our communication through the internet. The video shows it working through Google Chrome (where I would assume the best performance will be), Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. This proves universal compatability. This app really breaks new terrtory for your browser. A program that everyone can use on PC's, Mac's, Linux etc. That doesn't involve slow installations, taking up hard drive space or using unwanted services in the background like Google Desktop. You can drag and drop files to upload them to a 'wave' and when you are typing an instant message the keystrokes are transmitted live!!! This will be very impressive once it is released, from this build up Google Wave will be a Tsunami so I hope Google gets there servers ready for millions of users instantly transmitting keystrokes/IM/email/photos/third party app data.
For more info check out Google Wave Preview Or the the launch video here:

Lily Allen will star in Neighbours!

Lily Allen who is currently at No. 7 in the UK Singles chart with 'Not Fair' is to star in the Australian soap 'Neighbours' which is shown on Five in the UK. It is confirmed on the shows webpage. They say:

A huge fan of Neighbours, apparently Lily wasted no time in accepting the offer to appear on the show where she will play herself in a scene alongside Matt Werkmeister, who is a huge Allen fan.

So the UK fans will have to wait ages for this episode as we are several weeks behind the Australian schedule. Watch out for adverts on Five closer to the time!

Muse News: New Album to be called The Resistance

Muse's 5th studio album due for release later this year is called 'The Resistance' and will feature a track called 'The United States of Eurasia' as confirmed by www.muse.mu. I will bring you more news news as and when I know it!

Social Networking Sites Keeping Deleted Photos

According to BBC News and Mashable social networking sites including facebook aren't the speediest at deleting photos that you have asked to be deleted. Despite the research done by Cambridge University students revealing the opposite the BBC News page quotes Facebook as saying:

Facebook says deleted photos are removed from its servers "immediately"

It seems social networking sites are all too keen to hoard as much information as possible.

Why are texts limited to 160 characters?

When text messaging was invented as a cross platform standard for mobile phones and pagers it was clear that a standard limit must be enforced due to the bandwidth restrictions. This was set at 160 characters and Twitter, being based on text messaging, is capped at 140 characters. This interesting article explains more: Click Here

Wembley's Pitch to be relaid

Wembley Stadium is famous all over the world for it's football events such as the FA cup final but this week it's infamous for having it's pitch relaid for the sixth time in it's short life. Concerts and other sporting events are blamed, they even laid tarmac over the pitch for a race circuit last December. You can read more in a BBC Article Here.

Porsche Panamera unveiled to the world

Porsche have unveiled their new model, the Panamera, to the world. It's a four seater and has four doors. Prices start from £72,266.00 for a 4.8l V8. On paper it's a good balance between power and weight because the acceleration of the Panamera Turbo is very impressive for a large 4 seater. 0-62mph is achieved in 4.2 seconds with the 4.8l twin-turbo V8. I would love to drive one and review it for webwarp.co.uk but unfortunately I don't think that will happen!
Here's a link from the Porsche site for more information.

Twitter Explored

Twitter: A social networking revolution or a micro-blog of wasted time and effort?

I joined www.twitter.com to find out, and I have been ‘tweeting’ for a few weeks now. I really like the fact that it is mostly public, it encourages conversation with all kinds of people without you having to be facebook friends and giving away all kinds of personal identification that we spend time destroying at the shredder! To this end you can tweet with celebrities (who would not be your facebook friend!) and sometimes they reply to your comments!

I think that if you are friends with someone in the real world it is a lot better to contact them direct than use twitter, but if it’s a throw away thought about hating crowded public transport, would they really want to be bothered directly?

You can follow some really useful usernames with actually convert RSS feeds into twitter updates. These Twitter users are often referred to as Twitter bots.

On Twitter you may often come across hash tags such as #followfriday or #f1 these are used to bring items up in the search as keywords that everyone discussing a topic can use to tag there tweet. A great example of the successful promotion of a website through hash tags is #4am, the 4am project which is a photography project that involves everyone and Twitter added a lot of extra users.

I think that Twitter as earnt it’s place in the internet as a well worth visit, but who knows how long it will last. According the Twitter website about us page they aren’t making any money!
