The SeeqPod team have released a introductory video explaining how to add the SeeqPod webclip to your iPhone or iPod Touch which effectively makes it possible to listen to music found on SeeqPod without having to open a browser first. Pretty nice if you consider that most music can be found with SeeqPod.

If the process to unlock your Apple iPhone fails you might end with a so called bricked iPhone that is not working properly anymore. That’s probably the worst scenario for any iPhone user who tinkered with the phone trying to unlock it.

So the guys at Gizmodo started playing around with the video rentals at iTunes trying to figure out a way how they could prolong the time - 30 days to start watching it, 24 hours to watch after starting it - that they were allowed to watch the movie that they rented. Some tests seemed to reveal that one of the oldest hacks of old time would work, that they could increase the time almost indefinitely by changing their computer’s system date to the future and back to the present.

I guess ourTunes is a very popular application in Universities and IT departments. It basically lets you download songs from other peoples iTunes if they are in the same network and share their itunes library. I’m not in a network and don’t use iTunes at all so I can’t test how effective this method is compared to using ftp, network browsing or local copies but I guess some will like it because it is easy to use.

So, what do we make of this ? The rumor is that Apple is launching a record label together with Jay-Z according to BSG who say they have confirmed it from a high-up person attached to Jay-Z. We do not have many details as of yet but we can make some assumptions. The deal makes perfectly sense if you consider that Apple already has a very popular distribution model in place which would profit the most from artists that sign under the new label.
