It's Showtime - Apple Media Event
Contributed by: Shawn
My screwup notwithstanding, Apple has (finally) announced the media event we "predicted" on last week's show.
Colin Crawford writes:
"After rampant speculation Apple finally accounced its special, invite only, media event to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. With the "showtime" subject matter the theme will obviously be around movies and T shows.
/"Will this be the rumored streaming or download movies service from Apple - potentially coupled with a new video iPod? Let the speculation intensify!"
It's Showtime - Apple Media Event
Ooops....Sorry....

Mea culpa....
I screwed up *big* time on last Wednesday's show.
One of the hardest things to do on a live radio show is read text, comprehend it and talk about it all at the same time. Usually, I can do it pretty well but this past Wednesday was not a shining moment for me.
I got an "anonymous" email during the show. The email stated *many* things, most of them incredible, some of them unbelievable and some of the very exciting (in a "journalism scoop" kinda way).
While trying to read and comprehend the email, I stated on the show that I had just gotten an "official" email from Apple regarding a Press Invite to an event during the "2nd week of September". The email I received was *not* officially from Apple - it was *not* a typical Apple Invite to their press events.
But, in trying to get the info in the email out to the audience, i screwed up and claimed it was something it was not. I apologize to Apple in particular and to anyone else who was confused or upset by what I said.
If you listen during the show, you can hear J, Lesa and I trying to "figure out the date" the Press Event would happen - if we had an official invite from Apple, it would have included the date. We just put two and two together to come up with the Sept 12th date - after all, it makes sense. Apple often announces new things on Tuesday and Tuesday the 12th is the opening day of the Apple Expo in Paris.
The emailer also followed up by telling me I was incorrect to ignore the idea of the "iPhone". Apple *will* announce it next week, it will be with a major US carrier (most likely Cingular) and will be "fixed media based" - that is, it won't used removable cards.
It is described as an "ipod with a phone attached" and will have a touchscreen that changes based on what you are doing - if using the phone, you'll see phone features and if using the music features, you'll see those controls.
Now, keep in mind this is all *rumors* from an unnamed source. There has been *no* confirmation from Apple or anyone else in the know. Nothing but the above info and other speculation both on our part and on the part of other web sites. We'll just have to wait and se how it all shakes out.
The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week
Contributed by: Lesa
On last night's show I talked about how to lighten dark areas of a photograph. This technique is great for a situation where flash photography is prohitibited, or when you've taken a photo of a persn on a super bright background. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!
Ware of the Week goes to Chax.
I'm off to Photoshopworld next week and then FlashForward the next, so I'll see you on the flipside :)
