iTunes 9 is available for download now with a bunch of features that were surprisingly absent for some time. The first feature that has been absent for some time is a home sharing feature. This allows you to share and transfer files between home Pc’s and Macs. iTUnes LP gives you a visual experience like that of the old Record Albums (ask your parents). APple has also redesigned the iTunes Store, and now when you download a movie you get the extras you would with a DVD. They have also created Genius mixes which searches all of your music and mixes them to match. There are many other features which are available now for download via software update or apple.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the company many of us aspire to be a part of or own. It has been an interesting 25 years if you go and review the history of the company. From the humble beginnings of the original Apple Computer to the inspiration that iMacs, MacBook’s and iPods are today, we wish Apple happy 25th and many more.
Some Great Resources for Mac History:
Mac Tracker – A program that catalogs all Macs throughout the years.
Lowendmac – This is a great place to view all things from the past to the present on Mac
Mac History – Another great site with pictures and history of the Macs of old to the present.
There are also plenty of videos on youtube which show keynotes and product announcements and anything else you could think of.

The same has not held true for the Mac as we thought Netflix would eternally neglect the ability. Now you can finally watch the streaming video on your Mac, but that comes with an ironic catch. Netflix has decided to stream via Microsoft’s competitor to flash, Silverlight. Silverlight is a very capable platform and was used by NBC during the Bejing Olympics.

For anyone familiar with online storage or synchronization of stored files. The soon to be next in line is Live Mesh. Live Mesh has been around for a little while but is offered for tech preview as it is still in its infancy.
