What compelling reasons are there for UK users to upgrade nano - vid ipod?

Hi,
I just wanted to point out a very fundamental flaw in Apples grand plan at the minute (at least as far as the UK is concerned).
I'm a recent convert...I love Apple....I breathe Apple ...I buy their products everyday but at the minute I see no compelling reason to buy a Video Ipod or buy the iTV.
Theres one simple answer....CONTENT
Tell me what content there is that makes the iTV or the Video Ipod a worthwhile buy for UK users and I'm not counting music video's here as not everyone likes that.
TV Shows - Why doesnt iTunes UK have TV shows yet ????. The BBC loves new digital media and is spending loads of $$$ on it. They're launching simulcast 3G streaming on UK mobile networks (Virgin Mobile) so it seems silly to me that Apple hasn't at least negotiated a contract with them. For UK users, who here would love to be able to pay 99p to put last nights Eastenders episode on their iPod ?. Or what about paying for premium shows like Dr Who or the X-Factor from iTV. The fact that Apple is still to talk to the BBC and ITV and sort out something seems ridiculous to me. Also I'd love to pay for stuff like 24 and Lost and Battlestar Galactica and I'd prefer to not have to mess around buying itunes gift cards from the states. While it's technically feasible it's WAY too much hard work to buy gift cards off ebay or to find someone who will send you itunes US gift vouchers :/. If these shores were available in the UK store chargeable to my own CC's the chances of me getting a video iPod would skyrocket.
Note - the BBC has stuff available online for FREE including shows like Dragons Den !!!!
Films - We HOPE to go international in 2007. There is no cast iron guarentee that the UK itunes store will ever have movies.
So really the question is..
What does Apple have in terms of CONTENT that makes either a Video Ipod or an iTV a wortwhile purchase at this time?
The answer is NOTHING
As much as I love Apple and their products (I have a Macbook and a Nano) I see no compelling reason to buy either of these products at this time.

According to press releases, etc., Apple is coming out with a voice recording headset/microphone. Also, I had suspected that using an iPhone headset would also work, so try that if you can pick one up on eBay or if you already have one.
A year ago, I purchased a MicroMemo by Xtreme Mac and used it with a 3rd gen. I bought a 4th-gen. only for music, but I was kinda hoping my $50 external mic would work with it. It does, actually, despite reports to the contrary. It even allows me to insert chapter markers, which will be great for recording interviews.
Here is the post I wrote about this issue a few weeks back: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8207488#8207488
I have had good experience with the MicroMemo. It allows me to run a line in or use the external mic. This means I can record from another source such as my computer or my telephone. Recording from my cordless phone required the purchase of a $20 accessory from Radio Shack, but since I interview people regularly, it was worth it to me.

  • What other options are there for burning a dvd outside of premiere pro?

    I tried the downloading of PPCS6 which included encoder. That didn't work, the dynamic link library did not contain a link to send something to encoder. Whats the procedure in buring a project from PP to a dvd not using encoder?
    Thanks for your help!
    Rchjr

    Ann and Shooternz,
    Thanks for your response's, I appreciate it. let me explain what I am trying to do and have tried: The objective end result is to make a dvd with go pro footage I shot edited together in ppcc.
    I went golfing with my Father and Brother recently, took my gopro hero silver 4 and shot some video. I have imported all that footage into premiere procc 2014  and have done editing on a limited extent of the footage and created a timeline sequence. This is the first time I have tried to make a dvd from footage edited in ppcc. After the composition was done I rendered the video, went to burn a dvd thru my neuro express lite software and could not locate the saved files, it appears the only dvd extensions options in neuor express lite are looking for are bup, vod and ifo. So it could never find the rendered video from ppcc. Then I read about PP CS6 which contains Encore and thought this will work! I download PPCS6 and install, novice me thinking ppcc 2014 will have the dynamic " send to encore "............not! Before I downloaded PPCS6 I see  a video from adobe tv of a tutorial on what I was doing, he said to uninstall ppcs6 after and keep enocre unchecked in the uninstall process, which I did. In premiere pro it said to put things in a " que " and it should link to encore, for me it linked to adobe media encoder.
    I uninstalled encore and reinstalled PPCS6 with Encore this morning to try again, when I go to import from with in PPCS6 a PPprogfile everything looks like it's working then stops, I see a progress bar and it just stops and hangs up? I tried dragging and dropping two files I rendered from PPCC ( aud and vid files ) into encore and it looked as if it was going thru the burning process, I got a progress bar and everything and it just stops after about 15-20 minutes, I have 32 minutes of golf footage.
    Ideally I would like to use encore for my burning needs, I dont think neuro 2012 lite is up to what I need. I thought the dragging and dropping into it was gonna solve my problem, it didnt! Just made me more frustrated then what I am.
    What is the work flow in something like this? Compile in PPCC render to the specs of it being shot, then import into encore with the dvd instructions? Can someone steer me in the right direction? What I thought was gonna be a simple process has turned into a frustrating process.
    Why cant I import PPCC files into PPCS6? What kind of files can I import into encore for burning? Do they have to rendered first? Or just the completed project?
    When you say export to mpeg2 dvd, after it is rendered how is it burned to a disc, thru something like Neuro?
    I am a novice at this so if these questions sound stupid, I apologize now.

  • What workarounds are there for OS X 10.3.9 users on websites with flash?..

    What workarounds, kludges are there for users of OS X 10.3.9 encountering websites with the new version of flash?... what alternate ways are there to get the content?

    What version of Flash do you have installed? The last version for 10.3 was version 9. If you don't have it, download from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10752710
    The only other option is to upgrade to Tiger 10.4 and use version 10.

  • What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repair for PCs and it makes me want to see if I can save this machine. It's in forensic recovery right now so I myself have not done anything yet.

    What security products are suggested for scrubbing rootkits from a Mac? There are good articles on similar repairs for other makes online. I would like to investigate whether a machine can be truly scrubbed or if it's best to retire it. I haven't done anything yet as it is a candidate for more extensive forensic recovery.
    Also, I am not sure if various malicious spoofing and cloaking tricks (making Wi-Fi appear off when it is on, hiding unauthorized sharing/remote access, falsifying System Preferences preference panes, etc.) are resolved by a thorough drive erase or are more similar to APTs?
    Finally, is there any emerging information regarding APT hiding places other than the recovery partition? I have heard mention of the EFI, for example, but it seems unproven and unlikely. Some people have also mentioned the RAM.
    This is an upsetting topic to some people, including me, so I appreciate circumspect, measured responses. Thanks! And don't try to answer all my questions if you really just want to comment or answer one. All thoughts are appreciated.

    Hi, Lincoln,
    A straightforward question. You are correct in recognizing the difference between tentative conclusion and certainty. Here are our main reasons:
    1. Incoming items noted on the console (or console sub logs) and Activity Monitor after defenses are overcome, and which are brought in by an unwelcome remote user, often have a process name and the word "kit." (Bear with me.) We soon observe the process is under attack, from terminal evidence and soon, decreased or lost functionality of the process. The terminal generally reports alteration of specific kernel behaviors. A simple example (that may or may not be accompanied by kernel changes and may simply alter permissions) is modifying Disk Utility such that key uses are unavailable. You can see how an attacker might value disabling partition views, mounting and permission repair. In retrospect, DU might not be a root alteration. I was thinking that its relation to fsck flagged it as a possible ring 0 item. I may need to know core parameters of a good example to pick strong ones.
    2. Incoming folders hidden for possible later use contained bundles of similar root kits, including some not applicable to Macs. From what I have read from reasonably credible sources, root kits are sold and traded both singly and in bundles.
    3. Root kits are a logical next choice for our attackers, as various prior techniques hindered us but did not paralyze us.
    4. One of the most authoritative articles I found was about PCs not Macs. I noted the assertion, undocumented, that an estimated one million computers are infected by root kit manipulations, and underscored that the kits can be used by people with low computer skills.
    5. MacAfee lists root kits (by description, not name) as a top pop five threat prediction in the coming year, though again, the emphasis is on PCs.
    Linc, I am trying to show a spectrum of observations and info that have shaped my thinking. To retrieve better captured evidence requires significant legwork at this time, but it is something I am willing to do if you can be patient. Understand this long attack has been like a natural disaster to us.
    I have not linked a few articles of interest because I forget if that's allowed. If so, I'd be glad to.
    After reviewing this partial answer, you may form another hypothesis. If so, please share it. I am comfortable with my position but not clinging to it.
    Thanks for your interest. Looking forward to your thoughts.
    Oh, yeah: some material is out for analysis, so we should have credible opinions pretty soon. Not positive exactly when.

  • What solutions are there for Adobe Cloud subscribers/designers who are using/have been using Adobe s

    What solutions are there for Adobe Cloud subscribers/designers who are using/have been using Adobe software but have run into system requirement inadequacies etc. . . Basically, I have a new mac and CS6 runs fine. But my old macbook can only run CS5.5. Because I'm a subscriber my Adobe CS5.5  updated automatically. What happens when one day a year or two from now (or sooner) my MAC won't support the latest version of my CS subscription? Is there a way for cloud subscribers to subscribe to a legacy or an older version of CS?

    Hi Wildeboer420,
    Its my understanding that previous versions will still be acessible for users going forward, I copied the following from the FAQ
    I am a Creative Cloud member using the CS6 applications included in my membership. Will I lose access to CS6 when CS7 becomes available in Creative Cloud?
    No, if you have downloaded and installed the CS6 versions of the applications, you will continue to have access to them without interruption as long as your membership remains active. When the CS7 versions become available, you will have up to a year to download and install them and they will run on your machine along with CS6 versions.
    Hope that helps,
    -Dave

  • How to find how many cursors are opend for application user

    Hi all,
    how to find out how many cursors are opend for application user and how many are opend for database user
    Regards,
    RM

    Oracle does not know the difference between an "application user" and a "database user".
    Oracle deals with a session. This session services a client. The client can be a J2EE application. It can be a Delphi client. It can be a SQL*Plus command line tool. It can be TOAD. Etc.
    Oracle does not care who/what/where the client is when dealing with cursors and SQL. It deals with the session that services that client.
    How many cursors does a session have opened?
    Refer to V$OPEN_CUSOR in [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2008.htm#sthref3807]Oracle® Database Reference.
    A select count on V$OPEN_CURSOR for a specific SID (Session ID) will return the number of open cursor handles in that session.

    Plz tell me.

    Like Proper indexing and table assing to specific tbalespace etc

    Oracle manuals would do the best for you. There is no step by step rules for tuning the database , had this be true , then Oracle must've write a programme , application or sql script to achive it . I would advise you to go through oracle performance and tuning guide .

  • What all connectors are available for OIM to connecting to a LDAP?

    Hi,
    Please let me know what all connectors are available for OIM to connecting to a LDAP?

    To answer your question a little more clearly:
    The first reply does have a list of connectors.
    If you are running OIM 9.x you will be better off using an older version of the Active Directory connector. You might have to search the web or request it through an SR. I have multiple versions of this particular connector to service different clients.
    If you are running OIM 11gR1 or 11gR2 or 11gR2PS1 then you will want to use the Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector which is the activedirectory-11.1.1.5.0.zip download. Be sure to apply patch p14190610 if you have OIM 11gR2 or PS1.
    If this answers your question completely please mark the thread accordingly.

  • What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hello,
    What technical components are needed for integration of SAP BI and BO?

    Hi,
    you need to setup a BOBJ server (eg. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 or BO Edge 3.1) and then install the BusinessObjects integration Kit for SAP on the same machine your BOBJ server runs.
    In order to build reports you can either use Crystal Reports (eg Install Crystal Report Designer 2008 V1 if you have an XI 3.1 server installed), WebIntelligence (Install the Business Objects XI 3.1 Client Tools in order to be able to build universes), BusinessObjects Voyager or XCelsius. Please note that you have to always install the BOBJ integration Kit for SAP (should be the same version as your server and client installation) on your clients AFTER you installed one or more of the above client tools.
    Please take again a look at the following link for more detailed information (from Ingo) on this:
