Let's Go! http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=477 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=477 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:38:00 +1000 1st September, 2010 04:38 AM - Today, Apple announced a slew of new products including the new iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, Apple TV and iTunes 10. iTunes 10 comes with a new feature called "Ping", that enables people to see what songs friends or music celebrities are buying. Users "follow" each other (like Twitter) and get updates of their friend purchases, much like Blippy does, but iTunes stuff only. You can also rent TV shows for $0.99 but we'll see if that hits our shores or not. The iPod Touch is basically an iPhone 4, without the cell service, in the fact that it has a retina display, HD video recording, FaceTime, etc. The Apple TV gets Netflix, YouTube and more. By more they mean, Flickr and your MobileMe Gallery. Again, Netflix is not available in our country, so pffft meh sif as the cool kids would say. Still, the price is very good and I think Apple will sell a lot more of these than they did of the first generation. For iPad users, there was also confirmation that the new iOS 4.2 will be available to them by November, 2010. This is good news, because I really want that PDF ability in iBooks, that I currently have on my iPhone 3GS, oh and not to mention background tasks. Anyway, check out the live stream for full details. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=476 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=476 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:30:00 +1000 24th August, 2010 06:30 AM - Pinball Magic is a little device that you can slide your iPhone into, and with the help of a free app, you can play a full pinball game live on a little miniature table. There's a real ball plunger, flipper buttons, a full LED backlit display, and even a Tilt detector, so you can hit all the usual lights and gadgets. You can pick it up from Best Buy for $39.99 USD, which is a little steep, but if you want that nostalgia feel, this is right up your alley. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=475 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=475 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 10:52:00 +1000 24th July, 2010 10:52 AM - Today at Comic-Con, it was announced that a "Burn Notice" prequel movie, starring none other than Bruce Campbell, was under way. Campbell will produce and star in the project, said USA programming chief Jeff Wachtel, which will focus on Sam Axe's last day of military service and how he became the character he is today. Burn Notice is currently in it's fourth season. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=474 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=474 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 06:32:00 +1000 5th July, 2010 06:32 AM - The Rinse FM iPhone App has now been updated to 1.6. With 1.6, the app now supports iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhoneOS). One of the many benefits of iOS 4.0 is Background Audio, so now you can listen to Rinse FM and switch to your other favourite app, whilst still staying locked on. We've also added a Timer / Snooze feature. You can preset how long you want to listen to Rinse and when the timer is up -- the music will stop. Handy for when you want to listen to some tunes before going to bed. We've made some changes to the Schedule page. At present, it's currently offline -- more soon on that. Plus we're working on some other cool features -- look out for 1.7 soon. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=473 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=473 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 02:00:00 +1000 7th June, 2010 02:00 AM - Today, Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference kicked off in San Francisco at the Moscone Center West and this time, I was there in person (actually 12 rows from Steve). Speaking of Steve, he showed off the new iPhone 4 and the new features in the iOS (formerly iPhone OS). The new screen on the iPhone 4 looks amazing, iBooks gets an update and now supports PDFs, FaceTime Wifi video chat, folders and more.

That pretty much sums up the new LP from Sabre, who has continued with his usual style of laid back production, but has taken it to a new level and delivered a harmonious soundscape."

When the iPad was released with no Flash -- this "discussion" came up again. So, Steve Jobs posted his Thoughts on Flash, which had some very valid points as to why no Flash. Adobe tried to fire back and mentioned how Google's Android would be getting Flash. Well, here's a hands-on preview of the Android Tablet (or whatever it's going to be called) showing YouTube running Flash crashing the browser. Enuff said. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=468 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=468 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:00:00 +1000 29th April, 2010 06:00 AM - So true ... http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=467 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=467 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:09:00 +1000 8th April, 2010 06:09 AM - Today, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs gave a sneak peek into the future of the iPhone OS. I'm excited! There are some really cool features in OS 4.0, with 1500 new APIs available to us developers, including such coolness as Background audio and location, Calendar Access, Local notifications, iAd and more.

ABC News reported that "Landmarks across Australia were being plunged into darkness, also including Parliament House in Canberra and Melbourne's Luna Park and Federation Square". Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. After all, every little bit helps ... right ? http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=464 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=464 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:10:00 +1000 23rd March, 2010 08:10 AM - Blame does it again with the awesome "On My Own" featuring Tinchy Stryder, Fuda Guy and Alex Mills on vocals. Whilst, this is the original, the Drum n Bass mix knocks it's socks off. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=463 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=463 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 07:59:00 +1000 23rd March, 2010 07:59 AM - http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=462 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=462 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:27:00 +1000 18th March, 2010 02:27 AM - What a work of art -- made by none other than modder guru, Ben Heck, engadget has an awesome video of it's making, so check it out. When I was a kid, we use to make very simple pinball machines using rubber bands, pegs and marbles -- ah good times. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=460 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=460 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:02:00 +1000 3rd March, 2010 05:02 AM - The "machine" used in this video was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs over the course of several months. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=459 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=459 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:35:00 +1000 2nd March, 2010 12:35 PM - As heard on KrankyDigital Radio 28th February, 2010 it's The Chill Factor with DJ Sikosis. Session 3 kicks off with some chill, followed by some slowed-to-perfection house, some more chill and then rounded off with a classic DnB track -- sounds like The Chill Factor to me. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=461 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=461 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:00:00 +1000 21st February, 2010 10:00 AM - Classic. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=458 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=458 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:13:00 +1000 13th February, 2010 12:13 PM - As heard on KrankyDigital Radio 31st January, 2010 it's The Chill Factor with DJ Sikosis. Very quiet in the chat room this month, however some very chill tunes this session. So, sit back and relax with Session 2. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=457 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=457 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:00:00 +1000 6th February, 2010 09:00 AM - "It's time to take the jump to hyperspace with the "From Deep Space" LP from Phace and Misanthrop. These two production teams last joined forces in May 2009 with "Mammoth", now they've released their first 14 track LP on Neosignal Audio."

Unfortunately, my microphone wasn't working so I couldn't give any shouts out to the chat room -- should have a solution by next month. Til, then sit back and relax with Session 1. http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=456 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=456 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:57:00 +1000 3rd February, 2010 06:57 AM - Check out this very addictive flash game by Bell Brothers called Record Tripping. Basically, you use your mouse to scratch the music, which in turn controls the game, so you can then complete the objectives. Sounds weird? It is, but it's also fun to play! http://sikosis.com/index.php?blog=453 http://sikosis.com/index.php?rss=453 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:00:00 +1000 27th January, 2010 09:00 AM - "Following on from his brilliant "Crash, Bang, Wallop!" LP release in 2009, Logistics has been entrusted with mix duties on the latest Hospital mix -- which is a good thing, as we're still trying to scrub the memory of mix 7 from our brains."
