WarTuning

This idea just came to me in a flash. If you’ve seen this idea elsewhere, let me know because I haven’t yet.

WarTuning: Wardrive using your WiFi enabled laptop to listen to (download?) other people’s shared music through iTunes.

If you’re feeling especially delinquent, you can download songs from iTunes libraries that you find using ourTunes (this is definitely illegal, so don’t do it).

WarTuning here in LA might be fun. I wonder what the stars in Hollywood are listening to?

Hopefully, we’ll be demonstrating this on The Screen Savers on the 19th of January.

Look who’s sharing music at G4

Hitachi’s 500GB hard drive, plus, 8GB and 10GB 1-inch MicroDrives

500 GB HD

We’ve heard some whisperings that Seagate has a 500GB hard drive of their own in the hopper, but Hitachi announced yesterday that they’re coming out with a 500GB 3.5-inch desktop PC hard drive. The other news is that they’ve shrunk their 1-inch MicroDrive so that it takes up one-fifth less space and more than doubled it’s capacity to 10GB (there’s also an 8GB version, too). If you want to connect the dots, Apple uses Hitachi’s 4GB 1-inch MicroDrive in the iPod mini, so it’s not entirely inconceivable that an 8GB or 10GB iPod mini could turn up sometime this year.
