TUAW Podcast #25:

Thu, 31 May 2007 09:28:13 -0800

Filed under: Software, Productivity, Podcasts Now that I'm on the home stretch of my undergrad (just a thesis project left to finish), I'm finally able to stretch my legs into some hobbies I've been meaning to pick up. One such hobby is photography, and since I've been flexing my digital tools, I've quickly become enamored with Aperture, Apple's professional alternative to iPhoto. Even though I am by no means a professional photographer (no laughing at my pictures!), there are a ton of features in Aperture that drew me away from iPhoto, and I thought highlighting some of these tempting tools would be ripe for a TUAW podcast. Aperture, in my opinion, isn't just for the photographers whose lens bags weigh more than most typical household dogs; it offers a wealth of general features for power users, photography enthusiasts and those who need something that lands right at the intersection of iPhoto and Photoshop in terms of both functionality and price. Hence, TUAW Podcast #25 was born. For just over twenty minutes I explore some of Aperture's features that I think appeal to a wide audience. Pick up a copy from our iTunes Store Podcast directory, this direct link or our own podcast rss feed. Permalink | Email this | Comments

Podcasts, which allow viewers to download video material into their iPods to watch at their own convenience, has always been a secret weapon for harassed parents looking for a way to entertain bored and listless children. Think long road trips, or the typical meltdowns at restaurants, doctor's clinics, or grocery lines. Bring out the iPod, and suddenly, the kids have something to do leaving Mommy and Daddy to go about their task without fear of the Tantrum from

0The St. Louis Art Museum is using iPods to enhance visitor's experience of Remote Viewing, an exhibit that looks at how contemporary art can transform the chaos and information overload of our daily lives into invented worlds that exist somewhere between abstraction and representation. The museum is distributing iPods, along with a 40-minute multimedia tour. (The museum describes it as a podcast, but it does not appear to be publicly published.) iPods will be given to each gallery visitor who can provide a credit card for security purposes.

Remember when media outlets couldn't seem to figure out podcasts, so they dismissed them? Now that podcasting is rapidly being adopted by mainstream publishers, the technology critics appear to be moving on to abusing vloggers. The Washington Post describes vlogging as the Amateur Hour On Video. That appears to have been too generous for Valleywag, which describes vloggers as self-obsessed, self-righteous, awkward sell-outs.

Nielsen Media Research has announced ambitious plans to support electronic measurement of media use across all platforms, including MP3 players, cellphones, online video and out-of-home TV viewing.

Nielsen plans to start this summer installing and testing software meters with Nielsen/NetRatings technology on the PCs and laptops of small groups of its People Meter sample. It has set a goal of fully deploying the system in the 2007-2008 broadcast season.

Podcasting comedian Ricky Gervais is claiming to have beaten his own his own record for the most downloaded podcast ever. Earlier in the year, his podcast landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records with an average of 261,670 downloads per episode. But people didn't stop downloading the show once he got the record. So the number got bigger. According to Gervais, the total rose to 541,329 by the time the first series of The Ricky Gervais Show ended in February.

Doghouse Electronics has introduced RoverTv, a portable media recorder and player that records directly from TV without a computer. "RoverTv establishes a new category of handheld TV recorders and players," said RoverTv designer Jim Howard. "We built RoverTv hard-drive-free to streamline it and make it durable. Hard drives are chunky and fragile - they were never made to withstand the day to day handling that's a normal part of enjoying a portable media device," said Howard, noting that RoverTv's Flash drive and SD technology provide unlimited external memory. Built-in software allows easy transfer of video/music content to and from a Mac or PC.

SonoSite, a leading manufacturer of mobile ultrasound equipment, announced an initiative today that will allow clinicians to refresh their training in ultrasound-guided procedures and goal-oriented examinations by viewing courses on video iPods. Ultrasound is a dynamic, real time technology. Ideally, physicians should refresh their ultrasound skills with an equally dynamic training tool, said Dr. Price. Focused, well-designed one-to-five minute tutorials can be viewed on an iPod wherever, whenever they are needed, and can bring the physician or medical student up-to-date, on the spot.
