Comment Re:You shouldn't have to (Score 2) 343

I did think twice.

So I downloaded the portal I demo (free), and then bought Portal I (full). Cost me Euro 8 and I am enjoying it.

I don't have to think very much things priced under Euro 10 -- but something like Portal II at Euro 50 ... that gives me pause.

I can afford it, but why waste the money?

I most likely wait for another 1-2 years and then buy it at a discount.

Comment Getting iTunes to talk to remote speakers (Score 4, Informative) 306

From: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?AirTunesEncryption

The Apple-Challenge / Apple-Response is iTunes' method to verify that it's talking to an Airport Express; it may be similar to the DAAP one which has been reverse-engineered. These headers are optional when talking to the Airport Express, so it's possible for other programs to talk to the Express but it'll be difficult to get iTunes to talk to something other than the Airport Express.

Until we get the private key out of the AirPortExpress, it's not possible to convince iTunes to send anything to a non-AirPortExpress client (say, another computer pretending to be an AirPortExpress).

Seems that problem has now been solved.

> All it requires is for them to snag the Beatles, AC/DC, Led Zep, Metallica, Pink Floyd,

Seriously does anyone actually miss those dinosaurs? The people who enjoy their music already have the LP / CD / DAT / DVD-Audio / Directors Cut / UnCut / Life in Wembley / Re-Union / Retirement editions. And they produce nothing new...

.. and tv series, and movies , and everything else digital .... unlimited subscription based access for a low monthly fee.

THATS where it is going.

Not independent author websites (too many too cluttered), or even pirated content (still too much hassle) , or itunes (why pay for a track?)

Simple, uncluttered access to everything you (n)ever wanted.

It will take a few years, it took the music industry 10+ years, so expect this to happen around 2020 or something.
