We're back for more iPod discussion this month. The device was conceived, developed, and released in the span of 10 months, and marked a turn for Apple. It was a new (but not the first) push into consumer devices with a focus on their Digital Hub initiative. The move would prove extraordinarily successful and transform Apple from a computer manufacturer into a mainstream consumer brand. We dive into the history, our own iPod experiences, the legacy of the music player that changed the world, and more! === QuickTime Machine Apple Posts Star Wars Episode II Trailer, QuickTime Exclusive Steve's Other Job: Monsters, Inc. #1 Film This Weekend, Shatters Records Apple releases iTunes 2 - Nov 5th 2001 Apple Releases "Software Update Updater" For Mac OS X Microsoft Releases Office v.

This is the big one folks! That's right it's the introduction of the iPod, that iconic pocket-sized device that changed how we listen to music. We review the tapes to see how it all went down at Apple Town Hall on October 23, 2001—it's a classic JobsNote. It's also the start of the spooky season so Apple introduces a satanic PowerBook, and Matt has a tale of the dead rising from the grave as he resurrects Shenmue 2 from it's dormant state. Buckle up it's going to be a good one. === Follow-Up Zev - Feedback: on classic Mac OS, files didn’t need extensions. They used special metadata fields called the type and creator codes.

September means Seybold for Apple. Steve and Phil walk us through all of the improvements that are coming to Mac OS with OS X 10.1. We get deep into a discussion about scripting and automation on the Mac, Matt waxes on about Shenmue for one final(?) time, and Josh finds a way to automate Matt out of future episode intros. === QuickTime Machine HP Buys Compaq DoJ Officially Abandons Pursuit Of Breaking Up Microsoft Apple's Retail Operations To Break Even In Q4, Profit In 2002 NY Post Reports That Avie Tevanian Will Be Leaving Apple Apple Reschedules QuickTime Live!

Get ready for a lazy summer episode, baby! The most interesting thing Apple did this month was release Mac OS 9.2.1, so Josh & Matt take up a topic that they've been thinking about for a while: Apple & Nintendo; they seem similar right? They're both hardware and software vendors with total control over their product vision, and they focus intensely on how their products are designed and how they are used. This month we put those assumptions to the test and see just how similar Apple & Nintendo really are. We also take a letter from a listener and put the Karnov debate to bed. === QuickTime Machine Attention Developers - Apple Offers WWDC Session Recordings.

It's the summer time. Time for fun in the sun, taking a dip in a cool lake, and spending a day inside a dark room watching Apple introduce their new desktop line of computers. It's an interesting month for Apple; we join Steve Jobs on stage at Macworld New York to examine the next version of OS X (10.1), the final iteration of the iMac G3, and new G4 towers. This is a keynote that throws a lot at you, literally. === QuickTime Machine AppleWorks For OS X Updated Mac Sightings - Target Stores Pick TiBook To Advertise Web Site So Long Cube!

Join us as we cast our gaze back to the 1960s with the creation of the internet and then jump forward to the early 1990s to witness the advent of the World Wide Web. We speak in metaphor, struggle to pluralize Tim Berners-Lee, and get deep into Karnov. === QuickTime Machine Walt Mossberg likes the new iBook Apple Releases PowerBook G4 Titanium Firmware Update - Improves the handling of optical media Remember That iMac Copy?

It’s May 2021, and this month we discuss May 2001—how about that! (We’re on a new schedule for a new season of Memory Protection.) We have two events to review this month: WWDC 2001 and the “Your Life, To Go” event. We check the bottom line and get fiscal as we discuss iBooks, Education, and Mac OS X. === QuickTime Machine 10.0.1 - April 16th, 2001- Performance & Stability + Better Support for USB devices 10.0.2 - May 1st, 2001- Updates iTunes, adds CD Burning.

The time has come, it’s the moment that every classic Mac enthusiast has been waiting for: the release of Mac OS X. We dive into two very different reviews with very similar conclusions. We discuss how user experience paradigmns have changed for computer users over the last 20 years and why old conceptual models of human computer interaction may not be necessary anymore. Josh discusses the merits of native application development, and we lament the user interface choices game designers make in a new segment we like to call: Get off My Lawn (#GOML). === Hot Cocoa Redmond Minute Apple To Dub First X Release As Mac OS X 10.0 Apple Says OS X is NOT Delayed & It Will Ship On Time C|Net Article Hammers OS X, Suggests It Is Not Ready For Prime Time Apple Officially Confirms iTunes, iMovie 2 For Mac OS X This Weekend!

This month we indulge in a shorter episode as Steve Jobs jets off to Japan to unleash the most (flower) powerful iMacs yet. We discuss the disturbing effect the new iMacs have on us, as well as their lukewarm reception and legacy. Matt loses all concentration and Josh falls down an iTools rabbit hole. === Follow-up Zev Eisenberg on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ZevEisenberg/status/1357452695376961539 Hot Cocoa NVIDIA Chats With The Mac Observer - "We plan to fully support OS X and the drivers are coming along great thanks to our world-class driver team."

It's a new year and Apple is pulling out all the stops at Macworld 2001 San Francisco. This Stevenote has it all: "configurizable" hardware, "fierce" software, professional-grade bake-offs—oh, and don't forget the power & sex(?!). Tune in as we give ourselves new nicknames and discuss Apple's next iMac moment with the announcement of the Titanium PowerBook G4, iTunes, iDVD, and more. === Hot Cocoa iMovie, The Next Revolution In Higher Education?
