The Aug EP, and new ways to (re)market music within the iTunes Music Store
Read more . . . →This week Apple announces their iOS 6 operating system, which will probably be the OS that's on the iPhone 5. I have been using the OS for a little while now and I noticed an interesting feature in the redesigned iPod app. Basically when you're listening to a song that's part of an album available on the iTunes Music Store a small box appears at the bottom like this: From there you can click the button and you get offered to complete the rest of the album as if you were in the iTunes Store App. This is great news...

Read more . . . →[caption id="attachment_1506" align="alignleft" width="260"] Detail view of the S4i Reference capsule I am using today[/caption] Over the course of the last two years I have used over a dozen different headphones and earbuds with my iPhone 4 and now with my iPhone 4s. My first set was the included white earbuds by Apple. My first upgraded set was some über-cheap in-ear earbuds from CanadaComputers. The price was right and at $8 I decided to buy 2 pair. A month later I got another three, as my first 2 stopped producing sound out of one side and the connection became weakened...
