Rumor Claims Safari and iTunes to Merge Into Single Application

Category : News

Sources Claim that Apple is working to merge its iTunes application into its Safari browser later this year, creating a single application for browsing web and media content.

Apple may be preparing a massive move that will propel Safari from niche browser to market leader. The move to merge Safari and iTunes into one software solution appears long in the works, which may arrive this fall (September) at Apple’s usual iPod special event.

According to the  sources, one reason for the push is to boost Safari’s market share among Internet browsers, where Apple has yet to crack the 5% mark. Tying iTunes into Safari, it is argued, would likely bring a significant boost to the company’s share of the browser market as consumers turn to the integrated environment.

Actual Game

The game is excellent and promises to supply and endless amount of fun especial with the sound effects when the Jokers are played. I never went “baawand” on it so I don’t know what happens when you win. The over all layout is very clear and the game play is very smooth and easy.

What is missing is the ability to play a another suit when you already have the same suit. ya3nee Tiq6a3! :P

Apple to Stream Video As Well as Music and TV from ‘the Cloud’

Category : News

CNet reports that Apple’s plans for cloud computing could go well beyond music. Apple is said to have been in negotiations with some of the major film studios to offer streaming video service to users.

Apple has told the studios that under the plan, iTunes users will access video from various Internet-connected devices. Apple would, of course, prefer that users access video from the iPad, the company’s upcoming tablet computer, the sources said.

Apple has been making apparent moves into streaming content with the acquisition of LaLa media and their North Carolina data center, but previous rumors had focused primarily on music streaming.
