Two quotes, from the very same article discussing jailbreaking the iPhone and yesterday’s Copyright Office announcement:

According to Apple, the company’s support department already receives “literally millions of reported instances of problems flowing from jailbroken phones.”

Translation: Don’t affirm that jailbreaking is legal. People think it’s illegal now, and it’s a huge problem already!

“As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones…”

Translation: No one is jailbreaking anyway, so who cares if it’s legal?

Pulsar 2.0 came out just two and a half weeks ago, but thanks to user feedback and input, we’ve already got a solid 2.1 update available for you! Working with a few visually impaired users, we’ve improved Pulsar’s accessibility greatly. It now works great with VoiceOver, so all users with visual impairment can enjoy satellite streaming!

In addition to accessibility improvements, we’ve added a Dock menu, which provides handy playback controls even while Pulsar is hidden. We’ve also added a Jump to Live command, which restarts live playback by jumping to the end of the pause buffer, and Growl notifications have also been improved to coalesce, meaning only one is shown on-screen at a time. These improvements, along with many small bug fixes, are all available in the free Pulsar 2.1 update.

Get It Now

If you listen to satellite radio via XM or SIRIUS, you’ll want to check out the Pulsar page to learn more, then download Pulsar 2. It’s a free update for all current owners of Pulsar, and new users can purchase for just $20.

A Complimentary License?

If you’re reading this site, it’s a good bet that you already own one of our current Mac OS X products. If so, for a limited time, you’re eligible for a complimentary license to Pulsar. Just visit this page.

If you don’t yet own any of our software, you can purchase right through our store, and obtain your Pulsar license right after.

At the beginning of the month, Rogue Amoeba reached an important milestone – we hit double-digits. Double-digits in workers, that is. On July 1st, our newest employee Chris Barajas took over as our technical support lead. With our newest hire joining alongside our three co-founders, five coders, and one designer, we’ve now got ten people working full-time.

You can see everyone on staff over at our Staff page. There you’ll also see that Lee Falin, who had handled support since the beginning of 2009, has now taken over development on Airfoil for Windows.

Anyhow, if you have any questions about any of our products, contact us directly for support as always. And if you do, be sure to say “Welcome!” to Chris!

Two weeks ago, Dan wrote about background audio in iOS 4, particularly as it related to Airfoil Speakers Touch. We’ve been working hard on getting background audio going in Airfoil Speakers Touch, and on June 30th, we submitted version 1.1. That update is now showing up in the App Store.

In addition to supporting background audio on iOS 4 (for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, as well as the third generation iPod Touch), this update features updated graphics for the iPhone 4′s Retina Display, and several other minor bug fixes. And of course, since Airfoil Speakers Touch is a free app, this is a free update.

So grab Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1 from the App Store (if it’s not there yet, just wait for the App Store to update). If you haven’t used it yet, try out Airfoil to send audio all around your house!

We’ve just posted updates to both Airfoil for Mac and Airfoil for Windows. These are small updates, but both feature important bug fixes. They’re free updates, so grab them now.

We’ve also submitted Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1 to Apple, for posting on the App Store. Dan wrote about this last week, and we’ve now completed our initial update. This version works in the background on iOS 4, which means you won’t lose your audio because you switched applications – hooray!

Our dislike for the App Store is well known, and we don’t have plans for further iOS apps at this time. However, we know thousands of users love Airfoil Speakers Touch, and we’re planning to continue updating it. We’ve even got plans for some new features, coming soon.

So, grab the latest Airfoil for Mac and/or Airfoil for Windows, watch for Airfoil Speakers Touch 1.1 (coming soon), and keep your eyes out for future news on Airfoil as well.
