My Dad’s Xbox 360 Is Bigger Than Yours.

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

You’ve got to love the Internet.
We’re all used to outlandish claims from people on the Internet. You know, stuff like, “I’ve already got the new iTunes phone from Motorola”, “I’ll transfer one million dollars into your bank account”, or, “Look I’m playing on an Xbox 360″.
Well as it turns out someone who claimed they were […]

Apple Calling.

Friday, July 15th, 2005

Ewan, from The Mobiles Show and The Rock Show has some interesting chatter about Apple’s forthcoming iPhone.

Anyway, the scuttle on the net is that Apple are going to (in part) bypass the US networks altogether and launch their own with a brand new invention from the networks, the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). In effect […]

The Punishment Podcast.

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Scoble is smart. He doesn’t start his own podcast, he makes his 11-year-old son Patrick record one as punishment. Patrick decided to download 6GB of explicit podcasts from iTunes. His punishment is recording a bunch of podcasts this summer. Is this something like locking your kid in a room to smoke a pack of cigarettes? […]

The Continuing Saga of the iTunes Cache

Monday, July 4th, 2005

I just chatted with Adam from Dailysonic. It seems the issue has gone away. Lets hope that it doesn’t resurface because it had the potential to really muck around with their distribution model.
As it turns out, after a little more investigation on my side, the caching was definitely done by Akamai. But, it was being […]

Apple Isn’t Caching Podcasts.

Sunday, July 3rd, 2005

The guys at Dailysonic have an interesting theory about Apple caching podcasts. The way they have tested the theory is even more interesting. Very complicated, and interesting. Not sure why they just didn’t make a request and check their web server log files, but hey.
I don’t have access to the TPN logs, but I still […]
