Of all the things one could ever do with an iPad, this girl thought being an Apple-powered street musician could turn out to be a good idea. So she went out there, turn her iPad on and started playing the hell out of a sitar in Seline HD.
No need to tell you that this is just great and you have to check out the video below. Read more
If you have just updated to iTunes 10.0.1, you might have noticed that Ping now comes with a sidebar and a dropdown menu to let you like and posts directly from your music library.

Apple released a minor update to iTunes last night, which reaches version 10.0.1 and introduces a new feature for Ping users: the Ping sidebar. The Ping sidebar allows you to always have the updates from the people you follow under control: the “Recent Activity” is a smaller version of the Ping dashboard you’re used to and it displays new purchases, preorders and likes. You can like, comment, preorder and buy from the sidebar itself. Read more
My parents used to hate my iPod: every time they were around I had my earbuds on, and I couldn’t hear them. They talked, talked and talked and I was happily enjoying some Oasis on my beloved Classic. Eventually my mom got that iPod Classic, but that’s a different story. I wish I had Awareness for iPhone back then. Read more

Not so many people noticed this on September 1st (Alex Brooks did), but Apple posted a cool webpage called “iPod + iTunes Timeline” right after the music event. You can check out the page here. As the name suggests, it’s a timeline of iTunes and iPod history starting from January 2001 all the way down to September 2010 and it comes with useful info about product release dates and announcements.
You can also download “image packs” (upon confirming an agreement) which contain .tif files of Apple products. At the bottom of the page, some pictures of celebrities enjoying their iPods.

I don’t like Ping, but who am I to go against what the Woz says? After Wednesday’s Apple Music Event (where Steve Jobs surprisingly mentioned Wozniak by calling him his “partner in crime”) some journalists met the Woz and asked him a few questions about the stuff Jobs announced on stage. Namely, Apple TV and Apple’s first attempt at social networking - Ping.
In case you missed today’s live streaming of Steve Jobs’ keynote at Apple’s annual music event, you can watch it again over at Apple’s website.
Head over this link (the same Apple used for the live streaming) with a compatible browser, and enjoy the presentation of new iPods, iOS 4.2, iTunes 10 and Apple TV. It’s a great keynote.
Now here’s an interesting rumor from All Things Digital. Apple sent invitations for a press event on September 1st to selected media outlets yesterday, and the speculation began about what Apple will announce next Wednesday. There are so many rumors and reports floating around one may think Apple is coming out with a new iPad next week. The invitation mail contains an acoustic guitar, just to confirm that - like every year - it’s a music-related event.
According to All Things D, Apple won’t launch “iTunes Cloud” next week, but a web-based version of the Store with revamped social capabilities.
