Home Media server from Apple [ December 29th, 2008 ] Posted in » Latest gadgets and Technology

9to5Mac reports that Apple has been working on a home media server to access your iTunes and other files anywhere you have internet access. The site compares it to HP’s just updated Media Smart Server which offers a centralized location for backup, storage and file delivery to your computers locally as well as remotely:

Your music, photos, videos and other media are part of your life — but they’re scattered over multiple computers, disk drives, CDs, DVDs, and MP3 players…. Macs and iPods too. The HP MediaSmart Server centralizes all your files, from all your home computers, in one place so you can grab them anywhere you have an internet connection and share how you want.

Apple’s take on the system would reportedly expand out Time Capsule’s functionality from being a single drive backup system into a more robust multi-drive backup server. In addition, tie ins would be made to Apple’s MobileMe services to deliver access to your files and media from anywhere on the internet.

9to5mac suggests that media could also be shared to your iPhone and iPod touch, providing full access to your media while mobile. The device could also serve media files to other computers at home as well as to your Apple TV.

Digital downloads for Canadians: Legal? Illegal? C’mon

Canadians will be subject to a new list of dos and don’ts when it comes to sharing electronic property if legislation proposed by the federal Conservatives passes in Parliament

(Source: CTV.ca)

Under the proposed legislation, the following would be legal:  

- Making a backup copy of legally acquired music, digital books or photos to an iPod or computers — unless the files are digitally locked
- Recording a TV or radio using a digital device, in order to view it later — but not to be stored in a library of recordings

Under the proposed legislation, the following would be illegal: 

- Peer-to-peer file sharing such as with BitTorrent software
- Downloading any copyrighted material without permission
- Making material available for others to download
- Circumventing digital locks put on music or software by manufacturers
- Recording television shows and movies for inclusion in personal libraries or collections
- Ripping DVDs to their iPod Video if a digital lock has been put in place to prevent the change of format
- Posting copyright-protected work onto a website such as Facebook or YouTube
- Sale of devices to enable hacking
