Apple.com/movies

Actually, the folder is not on their server. I used a URL downloader program to download the folder and it gave a 404 error. Figure that one out.

This is very old news. I discovered this about a year ago and reported it to www.MacDailyNews.com.

I thought that I sent it to you, too.

You can actually replace movies.apple.com with www.apple.com and the videos still work. Nothing to see here kids, run along and play.

Movies on apple's site come from movies.apple.com or images.apple.com

e.g. http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/getamac_ads1/viruses_480x376.mov (view source on one of the get a mac ads)

notice that going to these URLs takes you back to apple.com

apple.com/movies is something else

Well... What good is movies to most of Europe, I ask? We don't even have iTMS TV series yet. Apple needs to find a way to make contracts with the copyright holders to allow them to sell here in Europe as well before I even try to be interested.

One of the biggest arguments for getting an iPod (video) doesn't even exist over here. I *really* do hope that the "beta test" of wether TV series etc is profitable or not is over and that Europe finally gets some love (but I'm guessing the TV networks are the poblem). Hopefully movies - seeing that they are a bit more of an "international product" - will be easier to make selling arrangements for worldwide than what TV series seem to be.

"You got a new Widescreen Super-X iPod with wifi/gps for the sole purpose of getting movies and music and map data from the iTMS you say?" "Yeah, only there's no iTMS for me to connect to."

Feh.

My birthday was the 7th of August. I was rewarded with a mac pro and an xserve..neither of which i can afford.

*hugs second-hand 800mhz powermac*

Maybe I'm just a fanboy but I have faith that Apple will have something to blow us away on the 12th. Part of that may be the fact that the 8th is my birthday so I'm just hoping they come out with something cool for me to buy with my birthday money, lol.

If they come out with a way to stream video from my Mac mini and MacBook to my big screen, I'm in!

And this (#3) is why derek is the laughing stock of TUAW reader comments.

:D Sorry, couldn't resist :D

Is Apple brewing something? Can't wait!

You're right Carl, that does sound fake.
