Apple's Magic Trackpad gets the iFixit teardown treatment, nothing terribly magical found

7/30/2010 03:58:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Well, we knew it wouldn't take very long, and it didn't: iFixit's gotten its hands on Apple's Magic Trackpad and ripped it to shreds. This is one operation they're not shy about calling delicate, folks -- this thing is seriously thin and its components packed in quite lovingly. So what's going on in there? Well, besides the magical dust, they found a Broadcom BCM2042 chip, which is the same one the Magic Mouse uses for Bluetooth connectivity, and a Broadcom BCM5974 touchscreen controller chip, which also powers the iPhone and iPod touch. There is plenty to be seen in the photos at the source, and there's one more below.

YouTube makes your fifteen minutes of fame 15 minutes

7/30/2010 03:58:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Long-video makers can rejoice, as YouTube has extended the allotted time of user uploads from 10 to 15 minutes.

According to a Thursday post on YouTube's blog, increasing the limit was the most requested feature by YouTube users, though it had to be put on hold while the company worked on other projects and behind-the-scenes infrastructure. In March, for instance, the company announced that 24 hours of video was uploaded every minute. That's up from around six hours just three years ago. Given the new limit, that's a metric that's likely to keep on growing.

When YouTube first launched in 2005, users could actually upload clips that were longer than 10 minutes, though without limits it was easy to upload full-length, copyrighted content. YouTube responded by creating the limit, as well as adding new account types like "director," "comedian," "musician," and "guru," which would require a few extra steps of registration, but remove the time limit altogether. The rest of the YouTube population simply got around the limits by splitting up shows into 10-minute chunks, which would work until YouTube's content filters flagged it as a violation.

Leehom Wang’s new album delayed till Aug. 13th

7/30/2010 03:57:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


Remember when Heartbeat was delayed for 3 months? No surprise here, even the Music Man himself said he was busy finishing the album last week on chat night. Leehom Wang’s new album 18 Martial Arts was scheduled for release on July 30th, but it has been pushed back to August 13th (for now), which is the same day when his movie Love in Disguise hits theaters. As a show of gratitude for the fans’ patience, his record company announced the preorder version will include an additional set of postcards from the movie.

Leehom visited Hitfm on the 28th to promote his album as the Hito star of August. The “18 Martial Arts” singer demonstrated the art of cooking by making sunny-side up eggs. Apparently, cooking is not one of the 18 arts he has mastered, as Chef Leehom was caught for his overly generous use of oil and soy sauce. DJ Ah Juan joked that she might need to go on kidney dialysis after the taste test, but she gave him high praises anyway in the end.

Did Leonardo DiCaprio Pull Out of Mel Gibson Movie?

7/29/2010 07:31:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Leonardo DiCaprio might be a little leery of working with conspiracy-mired Mel Gibson -- RadarOnline.com is reporting Leo has withdrawn from a Gibson-directed viking film.

Asked if Leo still planned to be involved in the project, a source close to the 'Inception' star told Radar, "Not a chance." The film would have been the first collaboration between the two.

If officially confirmed, DiCaprio pulling out could be a major signifier of professional repercussions for Gibson in the wake of his alleged racist rant.

"Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with and Mel Gibson is not one of them," Radar's insider said, citing DiCaprio's worries of risking his reputation by association with Gibson.
