Shazam will be integrated into iOS8, according to Bloomberg's sources. The integration will be across the mobile operating system, same way twitter and facebook are integrated and will likely integrate closely with the iTunes Store and iTunes Radio, which has been rumored to be a separate app in the next version of iOS. It's not clear whether the integration will be Shazam-branded or referred to by a generic name on the platform.
For sometime, years? I've been seeing these ._ files on my desktop when browsing files with coda, or an other ftp/file browser where you can see hidden files. Especially on the desktop I see a bunch of ._ file names that are greyed out (._index.html, ._photos.html, etc.). What are these files? How can I get rid of them?
The ._ files are created when you copy or otherwise create a file with metadata or extended attributes on a file system that doesn't natively support it.
