Can’t think of the name of a song? – just hum it
If you don’t know the name of a song, this site will let you sing or even hum the tune and it’ll try to find it.
I gave it a try and it gave me a list of possible songs, one was the right one. You can listen to the songs it finds to find the right match – then even buy the song if you want. Cool.
Mickey Mouse-Themed iPod Nano on Sale in Japan: Dumbo Isn’t a Fan
From gizmodo.com
Collectors of Disney memorabilia are going to go nuts for this limited-edition Mickey Mouse iPod – if there are any left. There are only 500 of these 2GB Mickey-etched Nanos, which went on sale on March 14 for $293, and come with a rodent-embossed leather case and strap. But why didn’t they make it an 8GB model? If you’ve missed the boat, then keep your eyes peeled on eBay. Personally, I’d rather wait for the Hong Kong Phooey version.
Man it looks awesome. I really hope they come out with them here in the US.
TweetiTunes 7.1 out, claims to play nicer with Vista
From engadget.com
It looks like those legions of iPod owners who have been taking Apple’s advice to hold off on upgrading to Vista can finally dust off their month-old DVD cases and get their upgrade on, as iTunes 7.1 has officially been released with “a number” of the compatibility issues accounted for. According to the release notes, however, a few known problems still remain, with the most serious being the nasty possibility that your iPod gets corrupted when you go by the book and select “Safely Remove Hardware” from the taskbar to, um, safely remove your hardware. Instead, users are advised to choose “Eject iPod” from the iTunes Control menu or “Restore” if they’re reading this just a little too late. Other remaining quirks include sporadic address book syncs, messed up text and graphics (resizing the window should do the trick), and annoyingly, continued lack of support for any 64-bit editions of Windows, be it XP or Vista. Meanwhile, in other news, the ten Zune owners who also rock a Mac are still waiting patiently for Microsoft to acknowledge their existence.
Well, I just installed it and it did fix some graphic problems I was having with 7.0. Also Apple now added the vista looking Max,Min,Exit buttons! Picture below. Overall, still some problems, but should be fixed in 7.2.
What’s Up, John?
