iTunes LP Lets the Indie Labels in

by Jay Garrett on October 13, 2009

iTunes LP DoorsiTunes LP ruffled plenty many feathers when US Indie label, Chocolate Lab, claimed Apple was keeping the new album artwork format for the majors only citing an incredible $10,000 production fee for iTunes LP.

An Apple spokesperson has announced that it’s “releasing the open specs for iTunes LP soon, allowing both major and indie labels to create their own. There is no production fee charged by Apple.”

This means that self-funding bands such as Subset and any label will soon be able to put together their own iTunes LP files.

If you’re not sure what iTunes LP is – for those old enough to remember the joys of getting your 12 inch vinyl long player home you get a similar experience.

While you listen to your favorite songs, you can dive into animated lyrics and liner notes, watch performance videos, view artist and band photos, and enjoy other bonus materials.

Apple hasn’t actually said when it will be opening up the iTunes LP format but it’s great news for us musicians :)

OCZ OLED Gaming Keyboard Ready to Ship, Frag and Pwn

by Jay Garrett on June 23, 2009

sabre-oled-gaming-keyboard-closeThe Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard from OCZ is the first keyboard with customisable OLED buttons that’s been designed for gamers.

It’ll soon be available in stores and if you fancy a gamers version of the Optimus Maximus with ”super tactile, low-noise key feedback” as well as those 9 OLED buttons – you shouldn’t be waiting too long.

The Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard’s OLED keys are completely programmable and will display any image or text you like with rather tasteful amber lighting, and will even change purpose as you switch between applications – how cool is that? :)

One word of warning though: the Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard won’t work with 64-bit PCs, just 32-bit.

There’s no actual release date from OCZ but they do say that The Sabre OLED Gaming Keyboard is ready to ship so keep an eye out.

This news was found on Hexus
