Update: Commenter Bruce Hoffman contacted TuneCore about this issue and received this response: “Thanks for writing! Not only will Ping have ‘People’ accounts, but it will also have ‘Artist’ accounts that allow musicians to upload and create their own pages featuring their pictures, videos, tour-dates, music recommendations and a lot more. We were fortunate enough to speak with Apple today to be...
Did Steve Jobs pull Facebook support for Ping, Apple's new music-focused social networking service , at the last second? Ping launched yesterday without support for Facebook, the world's most popular social networking service.
This is a bummer because being able to import friends from Facebook — and being able to export Ping activity to Facebook — would make Ping a lot more useful for many peo...

Apple made a lot of announcements today, from the new Apple TV to the Ping social network for music built into iTunes 10. Because Apple is entering some new market segments (or, in the case of Ping, some new markets, period) Apple is now a direct competitor to a number of other companies already in the social music and streaming content space.

Plex's big tease last week turned out to not be an Apple acquisition, but instead a big release, of both a rewritten Mac client to keep all of your media together in one place, and also a brand new iOS app , available now in the App Store for $4.99. Sure, the app's a little pricey, but if you use the new Plex as your media center, it's actually a must buy -- not only does it work as a remote c...
Daniel Franke and Andreas Fischer recently finished the post & effects on a video for the band “ We are the world ” from LA. Using custom scripts for After Effects which generate a mapping of the fft-analysis of the audio data of the song, the distortion of the dancer were controlled using the slitscan technique. The higher the audio values are, the greater is the range of frames sampled fo...
Nem tudom ti hogy vagytok vele, de én veszettül várom az Underworld ősszel megjelenő új albumát. Addig nézzük még ezt a klipet kicsit, ami a múltjukba lép vissza, miközben tök hangulatos nyárbúcsúztató.

Forgattak egy klipet aztán HTML5 megoldással mellétettek pár interaktív dolgot. Sajnos a sok popup ablak miatt nem élvezhető tökéletesen (megeszi a procit is), de néha ügyesen összerakja a videót a képekkel.

Indie band Arcade Fire has released a vid for the song “We Used to Wait” off of their new album, The Suburbs , and it’s basically one big ball of HTML5/Google Maps/musical goodness. The video was announced today on the Official Google Blog , which details exactly what elements went into its creation. Dubbed “The Wilderness Downtow...
If you hate the quality of Apple's included iPhone headset but love the functionality of the remote, here's a quick hack to combine the remote with a better headset for quality sound on the cheap. Headphone hacker Yutaka Tsutano shows us what is a pretty easy hack, believe it or not.

The Tuned Pale Ale 's bottles show a musical scale on its label. Drink it down to the note you want, blow on it, and it will play it back. Buy a pack, and form a band with your friends.
Actually, the pack itself becomes a drumming box, and the bottles' special washboard shape also serves as percussion source.
