My parents used to hate my iPod: every time they were around I had my earbuds on, and I couldn’t hear them. They talked, talked and talked and I was happily enjoying some Oasis on my beloved Classic. Eventually my mom got that iPod Classic, but that’s a different story. I wish I had Awareness for iPhone back then. Read more

Lily Allen Is Suing Apple Over A Hacked MacBook
According to The Sun, British singer Lily Allen is suing Apple as her laptop got hacked and the folks down at Cupertino provided no assistance in tracking down the hacker. Lily Allen thinks the only way to obtain more information is by taking legal action, so she’s suing. Read more
Apple Posts “iPod + iTunes Timeline” Page
Not so many people noticed this on September 1st (Alex Brooks did), but Apple posted a cool webpage called “iPod + iTunes Timeline” right after the music event. You can check out the page here. As the name suggests, it’s a timeline of iTunes and iPod history starting from January 2001 all the way down to September 2010 and it comes with useful info about product release dates and announcements.
You can also download “image packs” (upon confirming an agreement) which contain .tif files of Apple products. At the bottom of the page, some pictures of celebrities enjoying their iPods.

Ping: The Woz Approves
I don’t like Ping, but who am I to go against what the Woz says? After Wednesday’s Apple Music Event (where Steve Jobs surprisingly mentioned Wozniak by calling him his “partner in crime”) some journalists met the Woz and asked him a few questions about the stuff Jobs announced on stage. Namely, Apple TV and Apple’s first attempt at social networking - Ping.
Apple Music Event Now Available for Streaming
In case you missed today’s live streaming of Steve Jobs’ keynote at Apple’s annual music event, you can watch it again over at Apple’s website.
Head over this link (the same Apple used for the live streaming) with a compatible browser, and enjoy the presentation of new iPods, iOS 4.2, iTunes 10 and Apple TV. It’s a great keynote.
Web-based, Social iTunes Store Launching Next Week?
Now here’s an interesting rumor from All Things Digital. Apple sent invitations for a press event on September 1st to selected media outlets yesterday, and the speculation began about what Apple will announce next Wednesday. There are so many rumors and reports floating around one may think Apple is coming out with a new iPad next week. The invitation mail contains an acoustic guitar, just to confirm that - like every year - it’s a music-related event.
According to All Things D, Apple won’t launch “iTunes Cloud” next week, but a web-based version of the Store with revamped social capabilities.
My Artists: The Ultimate iPod.app Replacement
I posted a preview of My Artists back in June, but the app I have here on my iPhone now is nothing like that. My Artists was already good and promising (as if it wasn0t clear enough), now it’s just great.
It’s more than an iPod companion, it’s a full-featured iPod replacement for iOS devices. Hit the break to find out.
Music Flow: CoverFlow For Your iPad
I missed this app on its launch back in April, when the iPad was released. Music Flow does only one thing: it brings the CoverFlow music browsing experience to the iPad, which lacks it by default. It retrieves albums and artists from iPod.app, it gets the album covers and allows you to swipr through them using your fingers.
Simple. $1.99 in the App Store.
Groovershark App Pulled from App Store
Grooveshark have a history for not getting their official iPhone app quite right. First, they wanted to be able to do stuff like background music streaming when Apple wasn’t providing the API for that, and when the app was rejected, they decided to publish it on Cydia. It was even a good-looking app.
A few days ago the client was finally released in the App Store. Now, the app is no longer available.
