YouTube Launches Classical Music Contest

YouTube Launches Classical Music Contest

The old joke is that it takes practice, practice, practice to get to Carnegie Hall. But now YouTube is offering a few lucky and talented musicians a shortcut. They’ve launched a competition to discover new classical music talent, and the prize is participation in a three-day musical summit at the legendary New York venue.

Contestants have until January 28 2009 to submit a video of themselves playing, with the final votes coming from the public two weeks later. However, the audition piece is set. It’s a special commission from YouTube by composer Tam Dun, who wrote music for the Beijing Olympics and the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Multi-Touch on a PC: Love It , Hate It, or Clueless About It

I often get a kick out of the fact that people repeat the same mistakes over and over again. When Xerox executives first saw a Graphical UI and a mouse they thought it was a toy that no one would want. Yet today Microsoft and Apple are household names and besides, when was the last time you saw the Xerox brand on anything? When Windows came out, folks just couldn’t see the advantage of moving away from the perfectly good command line interface and that no one would ever want this thing, now 100s of millions of copies later, Windows (love it or hate it) is the current dominant product and the MacOS, which sports a similar Xerox based interface, is the fastest growing.  Read more...

Apple Posts Mac OS X 10.5.2, Security Fixes

Apple Posts Mac OS X 10.5.2, Security Fixes

With much fanfare—and several months of delay after shifting engineers over to its iPhone effort—Apple shipped Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard,” the latest version of its operating system for Macintosh computers. Now, four months later, the company has released Mac OS X 10.5.2, a substantial update to its “Leopard” operating system. Apple is recommending it for all users of Mac OS X 10.5 because of numerous stability enhancements and fixes, and many are categorizing 10.5.2 as the first “real” release of Leopard, smoothing some of the sharp corners that marred earlier releases and addressing a handful of the Apple faithful’s pet peeves.

Microsoft Ships Messenger 6.0 for Mac OS X

When it comes to the Macintosh, let’s face it: Microsoft is better known for what it doesn’t do rather than what it actually does. Mac versions of its Office productivity applications have been money makers for coming up on two decades, but, gosh, where’s Outlook for Macintosh? Business tools like Access? Heck, even cute consumer services like MSN are missing in action! Internet Explorer? Mothballed. Windows Media Player? Gone. Games? None. Virtual PC? Acquired, digested, and >burp< done.  Read more...

Apple Launches $899 iMac for Schools

Years ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs promised to do away with cathode ray tube (CRT) displays across Apple’s product line in favor of flat screen LCDS…and the company succeeded for a few months when it rolled out its first flat-screen iMacs in 2002. But then came the eMac, a CRT-based all-in-one unit aimed specifically for the education market where economic realities didn’t make flat-screen systems practical.

Since then, LCD sizes have increased and costs have dropped, and today Apple phased out the eMac in favor of a flat-panel iMac aimed at the education market, featuring with a 17-inch screen, a 1.83 GHz Core Duo processor, and price tags starting at $899.  Read more...
