Apple may be bringing lossless music to iTMS
at Apple rumor and news site AppleInsider, version 1.4 of Apple's iTunes Producer software now offers the ability to encode music using Apple's Lossless Encoder. iTunes Producer 1.4 is the package used by the record labels to rip their music for sale in the iTunes Music Store.
Young Jeezy Gets an iMac
I saw this ad the other day for Apple's new iMac minis. What was not surprising is that Apple was using rap artist Young Jeezy to promote their new line of micro computers. Most adults out there would not know Young Jeezy from a hot rock, but you can bet your bottom dollar that your kids know who he is. He is one of the hottest rap acts going right now. Is there a reason why Apple is the only one doing things like this?
Newsgroup Access
Of course, Young Jeezy probably is not so hip that he knows about the Usenet. The Usenet has been around a lot longer than the World Wide Web, and there are still die-hard fans that use it to exchange ideas, files, papers and all kinds of things. Of course, if you are going to exchange binary files, like applications, pictures and things like ringtones, then you are going to want to find the best binary newsgroup servers that you can. These companies provide unlimited access to all of the binary newsgroups that exist and keep the files available for months after they are posted. Good deal for $15 / month or whatever they charge if you ask me.
