iPad rids your studio of mice

[Permafried Buttrock Hero]

Eno, usually ahead of everyone else, said the mouse was a crappy way to get stuff done. Here's my big prediction: as more iPad control surface apps come along, such as the one pictured below, folks will quit using mice. I'd also bet mama cow that the iPad becomes an interface for other classes of apps such as Photoshop.

Wow! I will be looking in this direction once the technology matures.

Here I was thinking it was emitting some supersonic frequency that drove away rodents.

Yeah, me too.

Though actually I read somewhere that Jobs has very sensitive hearing and likes quiet computers. Most of the Macs, aside from those cheese-grater power models, have been pretty damn quiet.

You're not gonna make me butthurt: They laughed at me when I sat down to operate an iPad as a surface controller.

I'm still waiting for someone to implement bluetooth based talkback mic into prosumer audio interfaces.

Hmmm... who makes Logic?

the ipad is pretty awesome and i could see it being very useful in the studio, but the real question is: will it blend?

Sure, the but power macs (at least the G4s and G5s) were consistently loud like windtunnels, Apple denied there was a problem, etc. etc. Don't know about the newer desktops but it has given me pause in buying one. Also the fact that they haven't been updated forever.

I have an old wind tunnel G4. Noisy bastard it is. Currently using an intel Power Mac. It's real quiet.

My G5 is whisper quiet... except when it isn't. When the fan kicks in, it sounds like it's preparing to reach low earth orbit.

Mine was that way too, except "whisper quiet" included the tiniest little whine that was annoying and constant.

[ctmsound]

Ya the G5s really ramp up. The new mac pros are dead silent, haven't heard one turn on the backburners like the old machines.

[JES]

Great. When the line is updated I may invest.
