With “To Do” you can mark a task as done, set its priority, edit the title and even add new tasks. So, when iCal and Mail are closed, you don’t have to bother opening heavy apps.

Apple today announced that within six months it will lower the prices it charges for music on its UK iTunes® Store to match the already standardised pricing on iTunes across Europe in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain. Apple currently must pay some record labels more to distribute their music in the UK than it pays them to distribute the same music elsewhere in Europe.
Apple will reconsider its continuing relationship in the UK with any record label that does not lower its wholesale prices in the UK to the pan-European level within six months.
The DigMo! team welcome this decision and really hope to see more varied TV and Film content on iTunes UK in the near future. More Here.
Generally we seek to provide solutions and tutorials for the general issues facing the creative Mac User… Well this post is slightly different ! We are trying to establish a work NAS solution for video / itunes that will work with OSX Leopard. Over the last year we have tried a range of different devices, from the HP Media Vault system to a USB drive attached to our router, none have really provided us with the solution we desire.
We are asking DigMo! readers to comment on what they think is the best NAS system available that integrates with OSX Leopard. We are wanting the ability to mount the drive on a number of Macs and ideally use the drive as an iTunes library as well.
All comments greatly appreciated :

If you have ever converted your old VHS video cassettes to DVD you will know how frustrating and laborious the process can be. The idea of now converting your DVDs to a format that can be played on a multimedia device could be quite daunting. Handbrake is another free application that easily converts a DVD to the popular mp4 format.
