Apple, unable to put 1,000-film rental offering
As the topic says, Apple as promised, were not able to pull of 1000 film rental offering. Steve Jobs announced iTunes movie rentals would be available by the end of February and they will put 1,000 movies on it. Well February has come and gone, it looks like it never happened!
According to Macworld, the total number of movies currently available are only 399 and if all movies that can be purchased or rented are taken together, only 770 are displayed. To make matters worse, the company’s Apple TV device, which it promised would be the hub for all rentals, offers only 351 movies at this time.

[News] - Apple ‘Mac’ Delivers World’s Thinnest NoteBook!
MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don’t lose inches and pounds overnight. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.
The new laptop, which has a 13.3-inch screen and full-sized laptop keyboard, will cost $1,799 when it goes on sale in two weeks, though Apple is taking orders now. The company’s Web site is already touting the machine. The price is competitive with other laptops in its market segment.
[Softwares] - iTunes 7.6 Released with Vista x64 Support!
Apple released iTunes 7.6 giving good support to Vista 64 bit users. iTunes is a piece of software that lets you add to, organize and play your digital media collection on your computer, as well as sync it to a portable device. It’s a jukebox player along the lines of MusicMatch and Windows Media Player, and you can use it on a Mac or Windows machine.
The most significant difference between iTunes and some other media players is the built-in iTunes Music Store (where you can get podcasts, music videos, movies, audiobooks and TV shows, too) and its multi-level integration with Apple’s iPod portable media player. With iTunes 7.4, sync your favorite music and more with the new iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch, plus create custom ringtones exclusively for iPhone with many of your favorite songs purchased from the iTunes Store. You can now also play purchased videos with closed captioning (when available), easily rate your favorite albums from one to five stars, and watch videos at a larger size inside the iTunes window.
