The popular Sonnox Oxford EQ Plug-In, newly optimized for UAD-2 DSP Accelerators and the Apollo audio interface, incorporates the exact equalization algorithms from the legendary Sony OXF-R3 mixing console — regarded as one of the best-sounding mixing desks of all time.
Great news for UAD users.
With its bigger, excellent Retina display and a still-unmatched app store, the iPad still has the edge over the Nexus 7. But if you want a tablet in a smaller package for a lot less money, the Nexus 7 is worth thinking about.
First intelligent thing they’ve said in years.
“Our role is to imagine products that don’t exist and guide them to life,” he told the jury.
As opposed to Samsung, who look at products that do exist and copy them.
They decided to get some “man on the street” comments from tourists in front of Buckingham Palace, and one of them was Evander Holyfield! Blink and you’ll miss him—Holyfield thought the segment was “wonderful”—but the NBC crew didn’t seem to … Continued

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin unfurl the first U.S. flag on the moon. Of the six flags planted, this is the only one that does not remain upright.

Apple has quietly launched a Hulu Plus channel on Apple TV this morning.
You have to reboot for the channel to appear.
Some great stuff.
iMore has learned that Apple is planning to debut the new iPhone at a special event on Wednesday, September 12, 2012, with the release date to follow 9 days later on Friday, September 21.
Yep.
The microblogging service suspended Guy Adams, the Los Angeles correspondent for London-based daily The Independent, after he sent a tweet on Friday revealing NBC Olympics President Gary Zenkel’s email address.
The solution is simple — just don’t suck so bad NBC.
Stories now include inline links as well as the “Sources” at the end of the article. Good. Justin Ellis and Joshua Benton from Nieman Journalism Lab have the details.
Steven Sande:
Samsung attempted to show how certain iPhone prototypes were influenced by Sony designs. However, Judge Lucy Koh ruled yesterday that Samsung’s lawyers could not bring up the topic in opening arguments.
Let the games begin.
A new report released on Monday by Strategy Analytics shows that Apple’s U.S. smartphone market share is on the rise, while Android declined in the second quarter of 2012. […]

But it’s important to distinguish the marketing discussion of new features from release notes about precisely what has changed, and one change might have escaped your notice: the elimination of the Web Sharing options in the Sharing pane of System Preferences.
Adam gives a couple of suggestions on how to bring the feature back for those that need it.
Non-media are asked to write in a “diary-type format” and “not in the role of a journalist.” They “must not report on competition or comment on the activities of other participants,” which sounds like a pretty dull diary. Athletes and others who take pictures inside the Olympic Village are supposed to get the subjects’ permission before sharing anything.
Apple on Monday said OS X Mountain Lion topped 3 million downloads in just four days, making it the most successful operating system release in the company’s history. Mountain Lion is only available through the Mac App Store and costs $19.99.
So when it came time in the opening ceremony for something that has been widely interpreted as a tribute to the 52 victims of terrorist attacks in London in 2005, it’s not shocking NBC didn’t see lingering on that as helping its overall marketing effort. When asked why NBC didn’t show the memorial, NBC spokesman Greg Hughes on Saturday said only that “our programming is tailored for the U.S. audience. It’s a tribute to (opening ceremony producer) Danny Boyle that it required so little editing.”
Kara Swisher:
Apple and Twitter did do some courting, but it was a while back, so the Journal was right.Twitter don’t need the dough — it has a big amount of money in its kitty, so the Times was right.
Nothing to see here.
Some stunning pictures from the 2012 Olympic Games.
John Moltz weighs in on Apple’s new ads.
Not Apple’s best effort.

A special poem for Peter.
In 2001 when Mac OS X was first released, it was forgivable. In 2012, it’s not only old, it’s just downright lazy. I’m talking about those pathetic headlines that Web sites use to usher in a new release of Apple’s operating system. You know the ones I’m talking about — “Mountain Lion roars” or “Mountain Lion leaps.” […]
Like Jason Kottke, I has used each one of these browsers.
With the exception of Westminster Abbey, Apple’s images look better to my eye.
Samsung was forced to release a bunch of documents it had been keeping under seal that show the likeness between its products and Apple’s. Examples outlined in the documents include comments from Samsung workers discussing similarities with Apple’s products, and reports Samsung got from retailer Best Buy that Samsung tablets were being returned because customers thought they were getting iPads.
When Microsoft announced Office 2013 it’s not optimized for touch-enabled devices. Microsoft is telling its customers that the Surface tablet is important to them, but yet it’s most important application won’t work properly with the device. .
