Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 9:47AM It's that time again... Time for our recap of the news and rumors this week.
Apple, breaking news, rumors, video, weekly news Permalink Thursday, August 14, 2008 at 2:31PM We know it's tough to make a live broadcast on a Monday night at say, 9PM ET/ 6PM PT. Hey, we've all got Olympic fever! Here's what you missed on this week's TDL Live:
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 at 1:23PM And here you thought your MacBook ran hot! According to the San Jose Mercury News, there was a three-alarm fire at Apple's Cupertino headquarters, believed to have started under an air conditioning unit. The building was evacuated, and no one was injured.
According to the report, some Apple employees stopped to take pictures with their iPhones. No word on how many wished the phone could record video too...
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 10:52PM No you didn't misread that. You can legally encode video on your iPhone. However, that doesn't mean there's suddenly an Apple-approved video app. What it does mean, is if you dig deep enough into the iPhone licensing agreement (remember, you just pushed agree?), in Section 16 of the Apple license agreement to be exact, it states (caps are Apple's):
THE AVC FUNCTIONALITY IN THE iPHONE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED HEREIN ONLY FOR THE PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE OF A CONSUMER TO (i) ENCODE VIDEO IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AVC STANDARD ("AVC VIDEO") AND/OR (ii) DECODE AVC VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND/OR AVC VIDEO THAT WAS OBTAINED FROM A VIDEO PROVIDER LICENSED TO PROVIDE AVC VIDEO.
So there you have it. Record/Encode video on your iPhone 'til your hearts content. And if you've figured out how to do to it without a jailbroken phone, we'd love to hear about it.
