How to find missing iTunes album artwork

The Dashboard widget

Online retailer Amazon is a fantastic source of cover artwork, and there’s a little widget you can install on your Mac’s Dashboard to help you get it.

You can get the widget from here

Happy Birthday iTunes & iPhone, 10 and 4 today!

Happy Fourth Birthday, iPhone!

We've already celebrated the 10th birthday of iTunes today; now it's time to remember the birth of another member of the Apple family.

On January 9, 2007, I was one of the lucky folks who was sitting in the chairs at Moscone West in San Francisco, waiting for the Steve Jobs keynote address for Macworld Expo to kick off. The assembled crowd all knew that some sort of Apple phone was going to be announced, and when Jobs finally waved the phone to the crowd, the place went wild. To me, it was one of the most exciting Macworld Expo moments ever, and I actually have a painting by Nitrozac on my wall that commemorates that announcement.

Both game changers in their own rights. iTunes for revolutionising the music industry and changing how we buy and consume music. iPhone for shaking up the smart phone market. Happy birthday to both!
