IL CASO IN GRAN BRETAGNA
Si sposano senza sapere di essere gemelli
Il matrimonio è stato annullato. I due erano stati separati subito dopo la nascita
LONDRA - Separati alla nascita, si incontrano di nuovo dopo parecchi anni. Ma ignorano di essere gemelli e decidono di sposarsi. Solo dopo la scoperta choc, il giudice concede l’annullamento delle nozze. È successo in Gran Bretagna e la notizia, come era logico, sta rimbalzando tra i vari media (dalla Bbc al Daily Mail). Sulla vicenda si è già espressa l’Alta Corte (secondo la quale il m”

Quicksilver Interface plugin - Showcase
This is a plugin for the application launcher Quicksilver, adding a new interface.
The special thing about this interface is that it heavily uses the new CoreAnimation technologies introduced with Leopard (MacOS 10.5).
It is definitely a nice eye-candy, so I hope you have fun on it, but for serious Quicksilver-Power-Users it might be a few milliseconds too slow.
I started coding an interface, because a friend showed me a mockup of an interface with CovertFlow (you can find it on the blacktree-forums, which are down at the moment). So I will not stop working on this project until I have a CoverFlow-like navigation working on Quicksilver.

QS-Interface tutorial: Best website I found. Documentation on Quicksilver is rare and this site helped me a lot getting into the hole plugin thing. But I still had to look at the Quicksilver source several times to get all my stuff working.

Airfoil 3 Soars To Amazing New Heights
Thu, 10 Jan 2008
We first started work on the newest version of our AirPort Express extender Airfoil over one year ago. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Airfoil 3 is now shipping. Airfoil has always allowed you to send any audio to your AirPort Express, but this update brings with it some major feature updates. They may just knock your socks off, so watch out.
Airfoil 3 lets you transmit any audio to multiple AirPort Express units, providing perfect synchronization between units. You can now play audio locally too, in sync with remote playback. But that’s not all - now you can turn any Macintosh into a virtual AirPort Express, with the complimentary Airfoil Speakers app! Run Airfoil Speakers on any local mac, and it will appear in Airfoil as a standard output. With one click, you can transmit your audio to that machine and other Macs, all in sync and with no AirPort Express required. You can of course sync this with local playback and “

The version of Safari used by the iPod touch is ostensibly the same as the version used by the iPhone, but carries a slightly different user agent string.
- iPod Touch user agent string Mozila/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Geckto) Version/3.0 Mobile/3A101a Safari/419.3
- iPhone user agent string Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1C28 Safari/419.3
Notice the different in device identifier, and the different build number.
Unfortunately, this means that the iPod touch will not, currently, navigate immediately to the iPhone-optimized versions to which many sites automatically redirect — a temporary problem until site authors adjust for the change.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, iPod Family, Hacks, iPhone
One of the very first questions that popped into my head after hearing, during the liveblog last week, that the iPod Touch had wireless capability was how soon the hackers would get wifi VOIP running on it. Michael over at the Apple Gazette had the same thought, and he’s even got a plan on how to do it– if the iPhone’s mic-enabled headphones work in the iPod Touch,
we’re golden.
Unfortunately, I agree with what Erica said on the last Talkcast– it’s probably not that easy. But even she agreed that if someone can hook the dock connection up to a microphone, then we might be in business. Skype is already working (in some form) on the iPhone, and considering the iPod Touch and the iPhone are as similar as Apple says they are, the software shouldn’t be a problem. Getting the audio in and out to the right places is where the trouble lies.
But after everything we’ve seen come down on the iPhone, you won’t catch me betting against the hackers. If there’s a will, there’s a way, and so if you really want to get your iPod Touch running wifi VOIP (like some kind of psuedo iPhone clone), my guess is that you’ll eventually be able to do it.
