Airport Express officially only supports streaming music from iTunes. With Slipstream you can now listen to your music in any file format from applications like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. The program will be available in early 2005 for an introductory price of US $20. Let's hope someone will hack a similar tool for MS Windows and *nix users. I bought an Airport Express even with the original Monster cables, but so far haven't even tried to use audio streaming because I don't like to have to install iTunes. Note: This is not the first time someone tried to circumvent the limitations of the Airport Express. In August we reported how "DVD Jon" cracked the private keys that the device uses to protect music streams. |

You can either do a search, or see browse the information in a few places... http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/moa/moa_browse.html Can't tell if these browsing locations are comprehensive, or if there's overlap between them, but you can always go back to the main site and do searches if there's something in particular you are looking for. This is a noble effort, and maybe one day soon collections like this will become commonplace. |

This technology is not new though. My IBM Thinkpad notebook has a similar patented feature called IBM Active Protection system (white paper, flash presentation). In a nutshell, Active Protection automatically parks the hard drive head temporarily when a drop or a similar damage event is predicted by a motherboard-mounted motion detector ("accelerometer"). So since IBM already features such a technology, I am curious to see how Steve Jobs thinks he could re-patent it for himself. |
