Apple September 1, 2010 Event Live Coverage Links.

UPDATE:
Apple to provide live video streaming of September 1 event.

Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari® on Mac OS® X version 10.6 Snow Leopard®, an iPhone® or iPod touch® running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad™. The live broadcast will begin at 10:00 a.m. PDT on September 1, 2010 at www.apple.com.

Apple once again is hinting at the new service they will be unveiling at the September 1 event. Yes, the live video streaming of the event is the showcase of Apple new streaming service. Why limited to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and  iOS 3.0 or higher? The technology within QuickTime X is the culprit. This doesn’t mean the stream can’t be viewed everywhere else, it is just conveniently packed for the “approved” OSes.

The last time Apple streamed its live event was back in 2004, as they no longer provide it starting MacWorld Expo 2005.

Here we go again, obsessively waiting for the announcement from Apple. This time is a yet unnamed music event that will take place at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

The event starts at 10:00 AM, and that means many of us will be reading the reports off the Internet. Isn’t that great? We will be finding out what Steve Jobs unveiling just like Gizmodo, since they still did not get any invitations from Apple.

If you still feel compeled to read the live coverage while watching the live stream, or if you couldn’t get it for whatever the reasons are; you can go to the following links. As usual more links will be added as they are made available:

Apple Announces September 1, 2010 Music Event.

Just in case you’ve been waiting to get a new iPod, waiting for another week would be a good idea. Apple has sent out invitations to select few that don’t rhyme with bizmodo to a September 1, 2010 Music Event. The event will be held at Yerba Buena Center for The Arts Theater in San Francisco. The event starts at 10:00 AM Cupertino Time.

As usual some sites will be bringing live coverage from the event.

What do we know so far?

  • iOS 4.1 availability will be announced for iPhone and iPod touch; not the iPad.
  • New iPod line-up.
  • More FaceTime devices.

Other speculations:

  • The next TV (that’s Apple TV if you can’t see the Apple Logo).
  • The next iLife suite.
  • New iTunes software and services.

Crazy Speculations:

  • Rounded corner of something.
  • White iPhone 4.

Anyway, as usual check back for list of live coverage links here.

Catching Up: Firefox, iOS, Flash, Bad Religion and Slayer.

When was the last time I posted anything here? It’s been quite a while. I want to post them now but I don’t remember most of it. Anyway here I go again.

Firefox 4 Beta 3 is out. It adds multi-touch supports for Windows 7. Download it here.

iOS 4.0.3 is available for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod touch; some exceptions apply. iOS 3.2.2 is also available for iPad. It includes the fix for PDF security flaw that is currently being exploited to jailbreak iOS 4.

Flash 10.1 Gala for Mac OS X is officially released. It adds support for hardware accelerated decoding for certain GPU’s.

Bad Religion new album “The Dissent of Man” is due out on September 28, 2010. The single “The Devil in Stitches” is now available for purchase and streaming. Get it at iTunes Store or Amazon MP3.

Slayer kicked off American Carnage Tour on Wednesday August 11th, 2010 in Glens Falls, New York. The American Carnage Tour First Leg features Megadeth and Testament.

No JailbreakMe.com for iOS 4.1 beta 3.

I tried jailbreaking an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1 using JailbreakMe.com and it failed. What does this mean? Apple might have patched the particular security flaw utilized by JailbreakMe.com. Some say that JailbreakMe.com is exploiting a PDF font bug in Apple renderer.

I started the jailbreaking process @ 11:30 PM and 30 minutes later nothing is moving.

I call this a good news for iPhone users in general. Sure it stopped one method of jailbreaking but more importantly it closes a security hole.

I attempted the iPhone jailbreaking for demonstration purpose only.
Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.

Does JailbreakMe.com works on iOS 4.1 beta 3?

With the release of iOS 4.1 beta 3, many wonder if Apple has patch the supposed PDF security flaw that’s exposed by JailbreakMe.com.

So far, JailbreakMe.com warned that the (iOS) version is too new, and recommend downgrading to previous version.

Video is coming up.

I haven’t done the jailbreak yet, because I have not set the camera up. I will jailbreak the iPhone for demonstration purpose only.

Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.
