Apple Computer is under fire by underground folk, following the unveiling of their new advertisement for the Intel IMac.
Apple's new advertisement is almost identical to The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" video says their label, Sub Pop.
Images from tech site Engadget show the huge similarities
After the drama surrounding , similarities between a recent Eminem advertisement & a Lugz commercial from years ago ... one would think the creative department at Apple would try to innovative as oppose to cloning.
Note from The Postal Service
It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers' new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for 'Such Great Heights' made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent. -Ben Gibbard, The Postal Service

The term 'podcast' has been declared Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary.
The official term, to be added to the online version of the dictionary during the next update early next year, is defined as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player".
The word is derived from a combination of "broadcasting" and "iPod".
According to a recent Pew Internet and American Life Project survey "Podcasts" are catching on with people who own iPods or other digital-music players. Twenty-nine percent of U.S. adults who own MP3 players like Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod say they have downloaded podcast programs from the Internet. In Pew's poll, 11 percent of respondents said they owned an MP3 player, putting the total U.S. ownership at 22 million. Of those with MP3 players, 29 percent reported listening to a podcast. Pew said the survey has a 7.5 percent margin of error.
A Podcast consists of high resolution MP3 or other audio files wrapped in a RSS feed, RSS or really simple scripting is widely used on the web as a means to create news feeds or product updates that can be read bybrowsers and other websites. Podcasts have grown in prominence along with Weblogs, the online diaries that serve as alternative news sources reports LordPercy.
The term was coined by journalist Ben Hammersley and although originally derived from combining "broadcasting" and "iPod", this definition has become something of a misnomer as podcasts can be listened to on any digital music player reports BBC.
Some have criticised the term for giving too much credit to Apple, which had little to do with the development of the technology and some have tried to suggest alternative terms such as blogcasting or audioblogging.

Apple adding NBC shows |

NBC Universal and Apple Computer Inc. on Tuesday said they would make several NBC-owned television shows available on the iTunes music store.
The shows, taken from NBC, the USA Network and the SciFi Channel, include current and older programming, the companies said. NBC Universal is the second big broadcaster to agree to sell shows to users of Apple's new video iPod reports USATODAY
ABC in October announced a deal with Apple to sell reruns of hits such as Desperate Housewives and Lost. NBC Universal is offering 300 episodes from new shows such as Law & Order and The Office, classics Dragnet and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and segments from Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien's late-night shows.
"Eventually, a goal is to get all of our shows up there," said Jeff Zucker, president of the NBC Universal Television Group. "This benefits the consumers. Now they can watch great programming wherever they are and whenever they want."
Most of the programs cost $1.99, the same as hit programs "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," which Walt Disney Co.'s ABC several weeks ago said it would offer at the iTunes music store.
The iTunes music store has sold more than 3 million videos since the iTunes catalog launched two months ago.
Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, estimates Apple has sold 1 million video iPods to date and is on track to sell an additional 1.5 million this month.
"This NBC deal is about more than the iPod," he says. "It's about Apple being the entity to become the personal media center for consumers. People will start using their computers to play back movies and TV shows."
Seperately, News Corp. announced it would begin distributing made-for-Internet episodes of "The Family Guy," its popular animated show, beginning next year reports Forbes

Posters from Apple's latest advertising campaign scored by ilounge show an iPod with a wide horizontal screen - Many expect a video version of the iPod to be announced later today.
Based on the Photo, the iPod Video looks to have a screen just a little bigger than then standard iPod Screen. Why Apple would launch the iPod Video with a screen going across the width of the iPod makes no sense.
I will wait...

After debunking rumors of the Apple iPod Video being launched tommorrow (Oct 12), ThinkSecret now says the folks at Apple may unveil the iPod Video tommorrow.
While reliable evidence has corroborated reports of the development of a video iPod, information has pointed to a release date later than October. Recent notes suggest otherwise, however, and tomorrow may in fact see the release of a video iPod, while Mac updates may not be delivered until next week.
Sources say Apple will introduce 30GB and 60GB iPods with some sort of video playback ability. Think Secret sources still expect pricing to remain at $299 and $399, with each model offered in two colors.
Be Warned >>>> If the iPod Video is unveiled tommorrow, that is all I will talk about....

A report last week by the BBC 6 Music channel said that "Apple is set to unveil a new video iPod at the BBC Television Centre in London on October the 12th"
The report no longer available on the BBC 6 Music news site was probably taken out of context, even Reuters reported on the rumors of a Video iPod, so maybe the BBC forgot to include the rumor part.
Anyway , we will see in two days.

According to ThinkSecret , Apple Computer will introduce updated iPods come October 12 at the 'one more thing event'. According to sources spilling to TS the changes will be much less significant than the video capabilities some have expected.
Sources have said the iPods will sport smaller enclosures while the $399 iPod will very likely see a bump to 80GB. The $299 iPod may also see its storage capacity double from 20GB to 40GB. The color options are expected to mirror the iPod nano, white and black.
Err , to be honest the iPod craze is above my head, sure I love my 4GB black iPod Nano to bits but that is as far as my love for the iPod goes (in terms of storage). Who on this earth needs a 80GB iPod. A Video iPod with 80GB yes, a music iPod with 80GB no. But hey, I have two songs in my Nano so maybe someone else gets the 80GB thing.
