I didn’t notice this last week, but when the latest version of iTunes was released, Apple also finally released a 64bit compatible version for Windows. So now you can install iTunes 7.6 for 64bit and be able to sync your iPhone or iPod Touch which wasn’t possible until now.

In a move which is by the far the most credible threat to Apple’s dominance of the online music scene, Amazon will start rolling out it’s online music store to countries outside of the USA over the course of 2008.
From the press release:
Amazon to Begin International Rollout of Amazon MP3 in 2008

Back in the swing
Been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently as we just spent a week up in Cooks Beach in the Coromandel. The weather wasn’t too good due to the effects of a tropical cyclone that drifted towards us from Fiji. But overall it was a good break and I managed to catch the monster [...]

Out with the new, in with the old
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years break.
So we’re already a few days into the new year and I’m just finalising my new years resolutions. I’m doing them a bit differently this year in that I’ll be documenting them and setting target dates with achievable milestones and measurables. In other words, I’ll be [...]
