Vista File Transfer Bug - No Music For You

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Some seriously tech savvy music lovers have discovered that if you listen to music on your Vista PC AND transfer files (upload or download), you will see a dramatic file transfer performance decrease - up to 90% on a fast network.

For everyone else, just take our word for it. As for Windows Vista, c’mon guys… you ADDED this in there. Microsoft’s response is here - http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=724

Wiredrive Presentation @ Apple HQ!

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Last week Ramy and I flew up to Apple HQ in Cupertino and did a webcast of our new version of Wiredrive to the Apple Sales Network, a private sales network on the back-end of iTunes that reaches thousands of Apple sales consultants. Apple’s Webcast captured the computer desktop and made it very easy to demonstrate how Wiredrive can send professional podcasts to iTunes, AppleTV and the iPhone.

This means you now have a purely digital presentation delivery process - from the computer to the plasma screen in the conference room - without ever hitting DVD or tape. The overview and demo of Wiredrive Projects and Library lasted 45 minutes and is available upon request (i.e. we’d love to hear from you).

After the presentation we met up with Karl from Apple HR and Ryan from the .Mac team and dined at Caffe Macs, Apple’s cafeteria.

The final touch was a Steve Jobs sighting as we were on our way out of Apple HQ.

We’ve been hard at work making modifications to Wiredrive, which we are excited to start showing to clients soon. We wanted to share a little bit of our source of inspiration as we help artists migrate to a pure digital workflow.

Enjoy!
