I tried to search a bit but it's completely impossible with all these threads :p
I just have a question about programs who people crack..
Can you, without jailbreaking your iTouch/iPhone, put in those cracked applications to iTunes and uploading them to your iTouch/iPhone or do you have to be jailbroken first?
I would never ever download something illegal, it's just a simple question :D:cool:
Muhaha

Thanks in advance :)

YouTube released a directory of sites which make use of the YouTube API. (A similar gallery is also available for Google App Engine based sites for some time now.) YouTube offers a couple of APIs; for instance, using the Chromeless Player developers can go beyond simple YouTube embedding, and play videos using specific start and end times or customize the player look. With the YouTube Data API on the other hand you may do things like searching for videos or uploading content. [Thanks Steph!]

Currently Banned on YouTube UK's Stats Lists! Please do our free speech a big favour right now and go to the comment box below the video and post the following line: "SAY NO TO YOUTUBE CENSORSHIP". Or just type anything you wish. We need to let YouTube know that we won't put up with their censorship. And the best way to do that is to comment and rate so that truth videos reach the most-discussed pages. This is what YouTube doesn't like. They don't mind you uploading truth vids as long as they don't become too popular. I've seen enough censorship from YouTube to last a lifetime. YouTube has been sussed once and for all and there's absolutely no justification for the blatant and crude censorship that they are now engaging in. All I tried to do was tell people the truth but YouTube wouldn't even allow me that small privilege. I hope YouTube enjoys whatever pleasure they receive from the people who force them to censor the truth. Google bought YouTube for $1.6 billion so that they could censor us, and the results are clear for anyone to see. If you agree with me about YouTube's crude and shameless censorship policy, please comment on this video. Please also express your view on this issue by adding the line "Say No To YouTube Censorship" in all videos you upload, and to your channel profile. We cannot let Google get away with censoring our free speech like this. And why has YouTube got rid of all the honors on my last video and on my channel? This channel is at No'16 Most Subscribed UK (ALL TIME), and No'13 Most Viewed UK (ALL TIME) but now YouTube has removed this channel from these lists. Why? On my last video they removed all 55 honors in one go, even though it had only been uploaded for 18 hours and it was at No'1 in a lot of the lists. Here are just a few of the main censorship methods used by YouTube: * Fiddling the View Counters by not displaying the true number of views on videos. This keeps the videos out of the most-viewed lists to stop them from going viral. * Removing honors from videos to prevent the video being displayed in any of the lists. * Removing pages of comments from the video to prevent it from reaching the most-discussed lists. * Removing the video for no reason, and displaying the message "This video has been removed by the user" on the page where the video used to be. * Preventing the video from playing properly, if at all (sometimes accompanied by the message: "This video is no longer available"). * Failing to display a thumbnail image for your video. * Displaying completely irrelevant videos in the "Related Videos" section on the video page. Unless we protest about these crude methods of censorship, the problem of censorship will not go away. Please help me out folks, we can't let YouTube get away with this so blatantly. We have to send them the message that we won't put up with this kind of censorship. One way to do that is to get this video to the No'1 position in the most-discussed list (global), just like my last video did. All you need to do is post lots of comments on this video. Make each comment different so that it doesn't get automatically marked as spam. Also post a video response, any previous video you have already uploaded will do. For all our sakes, please help if you can. Thanks, NufffRespect PS: Oh yeah, and what the hell has this vid got to do with "Quake 3"? The blatant b'stards!

Nokia today announced the launch of the Nokia N97. It is the first touch-enabled Nseries device and has a horizontal tilt-slide form factor. It transforms from a touch slate to a landscape QWERTY device. The device, which has an Internet and entertainment focus, runs on S60 5th Edition, has a customisable, widget-based, home screen and full support for Ovi services.
It features a 3.5 inch (360 x 640 resolution) touchscreen with haptic feedback, 5 megapixel camera (with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash), A-GPS and compass sensors, comprehensive connectivity options (WiFi, tri-band HSDPA, Bluetooth and USB), and 32GB of internal flash memory. Read on for more.
The N97 is the most feature packed Nseries device to date and, by adding touch, it moves Nokia's high end Nseries into direct competition with touch devices such as the Samsung Omnia, LG Renoir, Apple iPhone and G1 Android Phone.
Here are first few hand-ons impressions: In the hand the N97 feels pleasingly solid, with an extremely impressive slide mechanism - it is obvious a lot of testing has gone into the hinge mechanism. In slide closed mode it is equally solid, with no give. The keyboard, while limited by design constraints, feels good, though as ever it's difficult to come to any final conclusions with prototypes. Subjectively, the 'feel' and the design of the handset screams high end with materials that can not be fully appreciated in pictures (it has that caress-ability x-factor).
It is a relatively large device, especially length-wise, but that's inevitable given the size of the screen and the inclusion of a QWERTY keyboard. There's the usual plethora of hardware features, including sensors (accelerometer, compass sensors and proximity sensors), integrated A-GPS, and connectivity options (tri-band 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB). The large screen is a definite highlight - its widescreen 16:9 resolution is ideal for watching videos, but also works well for browsing the Internet. The touch screen is very sensitive, and there have been further refinements to the home screen to enable easier finger touch usage (the larger physical screen also helps with this). The UI can also be driven from the keypad using the D-pad on the left hand side of the keyboard, together with the on-screen softkeys and home key.
S60 5th Edition has been updated to Nseries specifications for the N97. Extras include UPnP, Internet Radio and Nokia Photos applications and we can expect to see a lot more in this area before the phone is released.
We'll report in greater detail in due course.

Key features of the phone:

Software:

• Runs S60 5th Edition. You can read more about S60 5th Edition in our Nokia 5800 preview. However, the N97 will have the Nseries version of S60, which means there will be a number of extra applications including Internet Radio, FM transmitter, Home media (UPnP) and Photos.
• The home screen can be personalised with Internet-aware widgets (based on WRT technology). Examples included in the press photos include weather forecasts, social networking (Facebook, Friendster, My Space) status summaries, and media collections. There are also indicators for time, profiles, email, application shortcuts and so on.
• Text input is via on screen keyboard (full screen QWERTY, pop-up QWERTY and alphanumeric), as is standard on S60 5th Edition, or handwriting recognition or via the QWERTY keyboard.
• Fully compatible with Ovi services including Maps, Music, Share and Games. Nokia Music store can be accessed from the device (touch optimised version) or from Nokia Music for the PC (an iTunes -Windows application). Nokia Maps now supports high resolution satellite imagery, 3D buildings (selected buildings) and richer map meta data. Pedestrian route finding and turn by turn, voice guided car navigation, are available as premium services.
• Internet focus with WebKit based browser, comprehensive RSS feed support and runtime technologies including Flash, WRT (widget).
• Introduces the social location (So-Lo) concept; the N97 has software that allows you to automatically update and share your location with friends and popular social networks.
• 'N-Gage compatible' device, which indicates that the N-Gage platform will be touch enabled by the release date of the N97.

The devices being demoed at Nokia World are running an early version of the software. In the six months leading up to the release date it is likely to evolve considerably.
Hardware:

• Physical dimensions: 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm (18.25 mm at camera area), and weighs approximately 150g.
• Tilt form factor with horizontal slide to reveal full QWERTY keyboard. The upper half of the device slides away from the bottom half and moves upwards in a diagonal direction. The slide is impressively smooth and when closed feels very solid in the hand (so much so its not immediately apparent it is a horizontal slide device).
• There are three keys on the front of the device: send and end keys and a home/menu key. On the left side of the device there is a slider lock and a microUSB port, on the top of the device is the power and 3.5mm audio jack and on the right hand side are the volume keys and the camera capture key.
• 3.5 inch, 360 x 640 (nHD) resolution resistive touch TFT screen with 16 million colours. The device can be driven using finger touch or stylus, or from the QWERTY keyboard.
• Haptic feedback for screen touches. This is provided via general vibra feedback, as on the Nokia 5800.
• 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. The camera is covered by a sliding lens cover similar to that found on the N85 and N79.
  
  The camera is also used to record videos at VGA at 30 frames per seconds, but I've seen a demo of it recording and playing video back in a 16:9 resolution mode (also as on the 5800). The usual Share online application is present for uploading images and video to online services such as Flickr and Share on Ovi (available services likely to be expanded before launch).
• Integrated A-GPS and compass sensor (magnetometer) means that the N97 'intuitively knows where it is' and this is used by Nokia Maps, and for social location; also embeds location information into images and video.
• 3.5 mm audio jack (also used for TV-Out) and built in stereo speakers. Music playback time of one and half days (36 hours). There's also an FM radio and FM transmitter.
• microUSB jack (USB 2.0 HiSpeed) and supports charging over USB
• 32GB of internal flash memory
• microSD card slot with support for SDHC cards upto 16GB in size (giving total potential memory of 48 GB)
• WiFi, 3.5G (tri-band HSDPA - 900, 1900 and 2100 Mhz), quad-band GSM and Bluetooth connectivity (various profiles including HID, SAP, A2DP and AVRCP).
• 1500 mAh battery (BP-4L - the same monster as that used in the E71, E90, 6650 and N800).
• There is no stylus built into the phone, but one will be included in the box.
• The Nokia N97 is expected to ship in the first half of 2009 (presumably in June) with an estimated price of 550 Euro before taxes and subsidies.

The N97 (117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm) is larger than the 5800 (111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm). Compared to the iPhone (112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm) is a little taller, but slightly mm narrower. Quite impressive given the incluion of a QWERTY keyboard. N78 also shown.

The UI can also be driven from the keypad using the D-pad on the left hand side of the keyboard, together with the on-screen softkeys and home key.
S60 5th Edition has been updated to Nseries specifications for the N97. Extras include UPnP, Internet Radio and Nokia Photos applications and we can expect to see a lot more in this area before the phone is released.
We'll report in greater detail in due course.
Key features of the phone:

Software:

• Runs S60 5th Edition. You can read more about S60 5th Edition in our Nokia 5800 preview. However, the N97 will have the Nseries version of S60, which means there will be a number of extra applications including Internet Radio, FM transmitter, Home media (UPnP) and Photos.
• The home screen can be personalised with Internet-aware widgets (based on WRT technology). Examples included in the press photos include weather forecasts, social networking (Facebook, Friendster, My Space) status summaries, and media collections. There are also indicators for time, profiles, email, application shortcuts and so on.
• Text input is via on screen keyboard (full screen QWERTY, pop-up QWERTY and alphanumeric), as is standard on S60 5th Edition, or handwriting recognition or via the QWERTY keyboard.
• Fully compatible with Ovi services including Maps, Music, Share and Games. Nokia Music store can be accessed from the device (touch optimised version) or from Nokia Music for the PC (an iTunes -Windows application). Nokia Maps now supports high resolution satellite imagery, 3D buildings (selected buildings) and richer map meta data. Pedestrian route finding and turn by turn, voice guided car navigation, are available as premium services.
• Internet focus with WebKit based browser, comprehensive RSS feed support and runtime technologies including Flash, WRT (widget).
• Introduces the social location (So-Lo) concept; the N97 has software that allows you to automatically update and share your location with friends and popular social networks.
• 'N-Gage compatible' device, which indicates that the N-Gage platform will be touch enabled by the release date of the N97.

The devices being demoed at Nokia World are running an early version of the software. In the six months leading up to the release date it is likely to evolve considerably.
Hardware:

• Physical dimensions: 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm (18.25 mm at camera area), and weighs approximately 150g.
• Tilt form factor with horizontal slide to reveal full QWERTY keyboard. The upper half of the device slides away from the bottom half and moves upwards in a diagonal direction. The slide is impressively smooth and when closed feels very solid in the hand (so much so its not immediately apparent it is a horizontal slide device).
• There are three keys on the front of the device: send and end keys and a home/menu key. On the left side of the device there is a slider lock and a microUSB port, on the top of the device is the power and 3.5mm audio jack and on the right hand side are the volume keys and the camera capture key.
• 3.5 inch, 360 x 640 (nHD) resolution 'conductive' touch TFT screen with 16 million colours. The device can be driven using finger touch or stylus, or from the QWERTY keyboard.
• Haptic feedback for screen touches. This is provided via general vibra feedback, as on the Nokia 5800.
• 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. The camera is covered by a sliding lens cover similar to that found on the N85 and N79.
  
  The camera is also used to record videos at VGA at 30 frames per seconds, but I've seen a demo of it recording and playing video back in a 16:9 resolution mode (also as on the 5800). The usual Share online application is present for uploading images and video to online services such as Flickr and Share on Ovi (available services likely to be expanded before launch).
• Integrated A-GPS and compass sensor (magnetometer) means that the N97 'intuitively knows where it is' and this is used by Nokia Maps, and for social location; also embeds location information into images and video.
• 3.5 mm audio jack (also used for TV-Out) and built in stereo speakers. Music playback time of one and half days (36 hours). There's also an FM radio and FM transmitter.
• microUSB jack (USB 2.0 HiSpeed) and supports charging over USB
• 32GB of internal flash memory
• microSD card slot with support for SDHC cards upto 16GB in size (giving total potential memory of 48 GB)
• WiFi, 3.5G (tri-band HSDPA - 900, 1900 and 2100 Mhz), quad-band GSM and Bluetooth connectivity (various profiles including HID, SAP, A2DP and AVRCP).
• 1500 mAh battery (BP-4L - the same monster as that used in the E71, E90, 6650 and N800).
• There is no stylus built into the phone, but one will be included in the box.
• The Nokia N97 is expected to ship in the first half of 2009 (presumably in June) with an estimated price of 550 Euro before taxes and subsidies.

The N97 (117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm) is larger than the 5800 (111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm). Compared to the iPhone (112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm) is a little taller, but slightly mm narrower. Quite impressive given the incluion of a QWERTY keyboard. N78 also shown.

Last week, the Toronto Police Homicide Squad a href="http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/538659"launched a new website/a containing profiles of unsolved murder cases and wanted persons. Each profile contains details of the investigation -- a written synopsis, photos and links to Google maps or even YouTube videos -- and allows visitors to submit tips directly to the police. It serves not only as an appeal for information, but also as a resource for grieving families. Some of the "cold cases" a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=967768"date back decades/a, and the police are hoping that increased attention on the web (or even from the press on the website launch) might lead to a break in an investigation. br /br / Police have long since used online tools to a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080221/094928313.shtml"search/a for evidence themselves, but we're starting to see them engaging online communities and developing tools and methods to appeal to the public for information through the web. A few years back, a cop from a neighboring city received a lot of press for a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20061222/090801.shtml"uploading/a a surveillance video to YouTube, and now Toronto's Crime Stoppers service has its own a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/1800222TIPS"YouTube channel/a and a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Toronto-Crime-Stoppers/31399402628"Facebook page/a. Though, in the surveillance video case, the media coverage of the YouTube angle seemed to help a lot more than the actual video (and comments on a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd6lOhNQikw"some of the Crime Stoppers videos/a make you wish the a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20081009/0147542502.shtml"comment audio preview/a was mandatory.) The Toronto police have found a lot of success in solving and preventing crime using these tools, and they recently a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20081124.INTERPOL24/TPStory/National"presented their methods to an Interpol audience/a. br /br / It's great to see law enforcement embracing the web as a means of two-way communication with the public, though it may take some time before these latest efforts pay off. The new site looks like it could use some more design work, and previous success has involved engaging a largely younger audience on social networks, rather than trying to draw witnesses to a separate site. As long as they continue to experiment, police are bound to find the right methods to make these tools useful.p style="border-top: 1px #aaaaaa dashed;padding-top: 5px;margin-top: 10px;"emBlaise Alleyne is an expert at the a href="http://www.insightcommunity.com/"Insight Community/a.

Whats up? im completely new to these forums but ive heard good things about them. anyway my problem is that I LOVE to make trance music using garageband and my keyboard. after making songs I thought it would be great to share them on youtube in addition to a slide show to go along with it. so I load up my song onto imovie put some pictures with it. then I export to quicktime in web streaming format and upload it to youtube. something about exporting it in this format greatly diminishes the audio quality and as a result my youtube video is nothing like how it actually is when I play it on itunes. please tell me how to make the audio quality of my youtube videos better.

-thanks

I have imovie 3.0.3 on a 10.4.11 mac osx power pc

One of the things that I was a little bummed about when I got my G1 was the lack of an easy to use tool on my laptop to add media. But I found a way around that, and I’m actually pretty happy with my music management now. But I felt some sort of void without my podcasts…and downloading them manually, uploading them to my G1, and finding some way of listening to them didn’t seem so hot. Luckily, I stumbled upon DoggCatcher.
As I opened the application up, I was a little confused. DoggCatcher included a few default podcasts and at the bottom of the screen displayed a few media controls. But, as is the case with most Android apps, just press the magical “Menu” button and *all of the sudden the app has opened up to you. You have options to add a podcast (by searching, browsing a directory, or adding the RSS URL), update your podcasts, change preferences, and a few others.
Once I successfully added a podcast, which can be a little tricky but was generally straightforward, I went back to the main screen of DoggCatcher and saw my podcast pop up. From here, you can long press the podcast to delete it, update it, and view information about it. To view episodes and manually download new episodes, you can press the orange button with the RSS symbol. From this screen you can also play any of the downloaded podcasts with the included media control functionality.
One of the nicer features of DoggCatcher is its usage of notifications. It will alert you to new podcasts downloaded, errors in downloads, etc…so you can do other things while you’re downloading your podcast.
Now, for actual listening pleasure. Obviously you can listen to these podcasts with headphones (well, at least some of you), but I’ve found that listening to my podcasts in the morning or various times with the speaker is great. Now, I’m not saying play it on the subway or at work…nobody wants to listen to noisy speakerphones. But the speaker on the G1 puts the iPhone to shame (which is the reason I never used it. Ick!) and I’ve found that podcasts sound especially great with the speaker.
So…DoggCatcher, check. Apple following suit a few weeks later with things the G1 already had, check. Android, the G1, and it’s developers continue to amaze.

Late 2008 might seem a bit late for the launch of a brand new website where bands can post their videos in hopes of being discovered, but Microsoft apparently doesn't think so. The company launched MSN Unsigned on Monday, giving independent bands yet another avenue for distributing their stuff for free online -- in this case to MSN Music's five million-plus British users.

Only UK users will apparently have access to the videos, probably due to copyright concerns, rendering the service relatively useless for music fans outside of Britain. However, there doesn't seem to be a restriction on uploading videos from outside of that territory.

In addition to the videos, MSN Music Unsigned also accepts individual songs for potential inclusion in its podcast, which will feature track-by-track analysis by music insiders. The site also offers more general advice for aspiring musicians with articles like "How to form your own boy band" and "Why you don't need a record deal."
