Don't put Apple Lossless onto your iPod. You won't gain anything from it other than craptacular battery life. Your iPod moves 25MB of music from the hard drive (HD) into cache memory, and plays the music from cache memory. If it didn't work this way, your HD would be spinning for as long as you use it. The HD uses a lot of power, which is why the cache memory makes the battery life reasonable.
Anyway, if your iPod has 25MB of cache memory, and you have 3 mp3 songs, and each mp3 takes up exactly 8 MB of space, this means that your cache memory can store these 3 songs onto cache memory (24MB worth of songs), and your iPod will play all 3 songs before it has to reload more songs from the HD into the 25 MB cache memory.
HOWEVER, if you encode all your songs in Apple Lossless format, and each of the 3 songs is now 25MB in size (ie: much larger) instead of just 8MB per song, your iPod will only be able to store a single 25MB song in memory instead of 3 songs. So after each song is finished, it has to get another song from the HD and put it into memory, which uses up a lot of power. In the previous example, it could play 3 songs before having to fetch more songs.
Also, your anti-skip will barely work if your song files are enormous. ;)
When you Import songs, set the file format to AAC and either 128kbps, 160kbps, or 192 kbps. I say encode the songs at 160kbps to make sure the battery life is good. 192kbps means that each song takes up 50% more space than a song encoded at 128kbps. ;)

Another thing about converting AAC to mp3--you're tinkering with a file that's already compressed and you'll lose some sound quality. I got excited about AAC and ripped a few hundred of my CDs. Then I discovered that Tivo won't play AAC (I stream my mp3s from my Mac to the Tivo, which is connected to the home theater). So rather than re-rip all my CDs I converted them to mp3 in iTunes. They sounded pretty crappy. I might just have good ears--I can tell the difference between CD and vinyl--but that was an unacceptable loss of quality. I ended up re-ripping everything.

iMovie probably isn't the best choice for this. Because the movie file is already 'mixed down' it's hard to separate sounds, but it might be possible to minimise the unwanted sounds
If you can get the audio into an audio editing programme like Audigy or Logic I have the following thoughts:
1 - Stereo separation
Was the video recorded in stereo and where the people standing on opposite sides of the shot? If so you might find less of the unwanted voice in the left or right channel. You could therefore pan completely left at the point of the offending crossover, then bounce the audio file as a mono file.
2 - Tone / Frequency
Are the voices different in tone? By using a very narrow parametric eq you may be able to dial out the words by reducing the gain on the frequencies of the unwanted voice. In MS Logic the EQ facility has a function which allows you to see the frequencies of an audio file graphically.
3 - Relative volumes
Is the unwanted voice quieter? If so a noise reduction plugin might work to reduce the unwanted voice further.
4 - Repeated words?
Is the problem word said somewhere else by the speaker? If so you might be able to cut and paste the word from another part of his speech over the unwanted interruption
5 - Generally removing the other voice
Where they are not overlapping it will be easier to remove the other voice, just use the audio editor's tools to silence the audio file when the other person is talking
Once you've done all your audio editing you'll need to bounce and export the audio file then drop it back into iMovie, silencing the original sountrack.
Free tools you can use for all of this include Quicktime for separating the audio file, Audigy (for audio editing), or ideally Logic.

Wow! "Does not make more than a few pennies." I do not think either of you appreciate the power of small numbers, when multiplied by millions of transactions and time. Soap companies have understood this for several hundred years, clearly Apple understands it as well. The individual unit profit on iPods is clearly higher, but each iPod sold acts as a multiplier of where the real money is made. What a dream to earn just one half of one cent of every iTunes purchase. If globally they sell a million songs a day, I'd receive $5k a day or $1,825,000 a year.
I said "Apple makes pennies" and I meant it figuratively:
Firstly, I don't think they even make a whole cent per song (source on that anyone?) and secondly, think of the cost of running the store! Millions of songs and millions of downloads means page construction (albeit probably database construction) and tons of bandwidth. That stuff ain't cheap. I meant that Apple makes pennies on the music store as a whole. I know they probably do turn a measurable profit, but a profit that is utterly DWARFED by iPod sales.
I don't recall the most recent statistics, but let's say Apple makes $25 profit per iPod sold (HUGE underestimate). Say, also that Apple makes $0.05 profit per iTunes song sold (huge OVERestimate). To match those two profits, every iTunes user must download 500 songs. Trust me, that is not how things go. I've downloaded maybe 8... and those were from Pepsi bottles.

Or follow a nice, easy iPhone dev related Twitter list, which includes all the main players, like this one:

This also allows you to follow all the irrelevant re-tweets comex does, as if anyone cares what he thinks about non-jb topics.

I'd imagine they added some major infrastructure to support the movie downloads, so, I'm betting the downloads overall will be a LOT faster with their upgrades.
Yeah, plus 4x the resolution on all videos.
They probably installed those new Intel Xservers.... I heard they are 16x as fast...:D

It's not me it's the dying man that makes the OS comparisons at every keynote. Well actually he only did when iOS was in a leading position...
The last Android vs. iOS comparison he made was something like: "We have 350k apps!". Well Android now has about 325k apps and grows by about 35k apps per month. I guess that comparison won't make it into his June keynote....
at least dont call him that ffs...

How many people were in line last year for the iPad? I remember I went last year and picked my iPad around noon and there wasn't really aline. I think I'll go around 4pm.

Three years ago: iPhone revenue = 10 % of Apple's revenue
Two years ago: iPhone revenue = 26% of Apple's revenue
Now: iPhone revenue = half of Apple's revenue :eek:
I think it's clear where Apple is going with iOS.

Holy cow it was crowded there! I got there at 7:30 and the line was already a whole block long. I'll try and go back around 2 or 3 and check out the situation. If it's still crazy I'll just place an online order for delivery in a couple of weeks.

I would trust this if it's the same guy that gussed the Ipad 2 specs ect..
It's already been confirmed elsewhere Apple will use 8MP camera and A5 processor.
I can see a delay aswell but I don't think we will see Iphone 6 early. How would that go? Would have to be lack of demand for the 5th gen which won't happen.
Say it comes out October and delays mean it's still 3 - 4 weeks delivery in December. Then they announce a new model in March where is the logic? They could probably announce it in the usual June point I guess. But what I read is the demand for Ipad 2 means there won't be a third for a year.
It would make no sense for Apple to release two new models in one year can't afford all these upgrades.
Also it makes sense about the rumour spec as the white Iphone coming late if they keep the same design for the 5th gen people won't mind. However surely they need a little more than 8MP camera and a new chip for Iphone 5? what else could a minor 3GS update provide? The White apple saga reminds me of the Sony Ericsson C905 seemingly W995 was supposed to come at the same time they delayed it everybody got rid of the awful C905 and got a W995. Maybe the white Iphone could further delay the Iphone 5 until next year?

It took them longer than I expected...
Dropping sales since and foreboding news back then from GameStop when they stopped selling them due to lacking demand.
The excuse they gave me was, they decided to stick with game machines and drop mp3 players...
Who knows - maybe there's going to be some manufacturer out there with mp3 players that use Windows 7 Mobile or Android to compete with the Touch - which is why MS doesn't want to make that hardware anymore...
