There will be no sneak peek of the next iPhone or iPad, just iOS 5 demonstrated on iPhone 4 variants. Mac OS X Lion and iOS 5 are reported to have some kind of integration with each other through the iCloud. Special apology to Phil and Scott for not acknowledging you two as the one who told me about the next iPhone that might not be an iPhone 5, because they are not the source I was told that it’s dubbed as iPhone 4.5 (it’s a trap?).

I wonder if John Gruber would spend his Daring Fireball money to fly out to San Francisco for this event?

It would be another big surprise if Apple is streaming the event live on Apple.com.

I wonder if gdgt got an invitation to the event or they might have gone Gizmodo way after Ryan Block’s “glassgate” article. By the way the terms “glassgate” and “antennaegate” are pretty stupid. They are named after the “Watergate” scandal which is the name of the Hotel where it happened. It was never noun-gate naming convention.

Megadeth – Rust In Peace: Live is released in CD, DVD and Blu-ray forms. Well, not counting the other digital download formats. Rust In Peace 2oth Anniversary Tour marks the return of David Ellefson to Megadeth.

September 8, 2010

Dream Theater announced that Mike Portnoy had parted ways with the band. After 25 years Portnoy decided to take an indefinite hiatus from Dream Theater while the rest of the band are carrying on.

Mike Portnoy has a unique style to drumming that is also a signature sound to Dream Theater. Fans can only wonder what directions Dream Theater will go without Portnoy.

Black Clouds & Silver Linings has now become the last Dream Theater album with Mike Portnoy on Drums. Well, until he rejoins the band sometimes in the future, as fans hope.

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:

• AllThingsD
• AppleInsider
• Ars Technica
• CNET
• Engadget
• gdgt
• MacNN

The second Metallica sanctioned app is Live Metallica app (Metallica news item).

In our ongoing efforts to be of service and give you as many options as possible in the digital era, we asked the brainiacs that help us out with LiveMetallica.com to come up with a super cool iPhone application that creates a streaming interface to your LiveMetallica account. In non-tech talk, that means that any show you have downloaded from the site will automatically stream to your iPhone once you launch the $.99 app. And the bonus is that the latest show on the site will always be streaming for free!
