Nate's blog

All right, so I know that I don’t normally talk about Mac Computers on this blog, but I am posting this for a friend of mine.

What is this you ask, well it’s a zipped folder that has two different things in it. The first thing that it has is icons that you can use to replace the old imovie icon in front row with the new one. The other thing in this folder is psd files that have the iphoto icon but the photos in it are blank so you can replace them with your own photos. All of the icons are the highest quality that macs can handle. (at least according to my friend)

Where can I download this file from you ask, well you can get it from here.

Aren’t you tired of your mobile communications device (aka. your cell phone) not containing enough Harry Potter? Well if you receive the new harry potter DVD which is set to be released on December 11 then you may be able to put the latest Harry Potter movie on your device.

According to Jim Wuthrich, Warner senior VP of digital distribution, people who get the new DVD will be able to “buy the DVD and have the option of the digital copy”. Apparently the DVD will have two files, one to play like a normal DVD and the other users will be able to copy to their ipods, cell phones, zunes, and other media devices. However “In all likelihood, Warner is using one of the Windows Media formats for the additional content. If that’s the case, the files won’t be playable on computers running Linux or Mac OS X,”. But at least it is a step in the right direction and hopefully the other movie companies will catch on.

SongBird is a multi media player for Windows, Mac, and Linux. So far it has worked perfectly for me and it looks like the best option for all systems. It also has Ipod support and a built in Mozilla based web browser, so it is a good replacement for ITunes.
