Steve Jobs decided to skip MacWorld yesterday. There's all this talk about his failing health. IMHO, that's his business and people need to respect his privacy. And people need to start getting ready for Apple without Jobs at the helm. Yes, he's become the icon of innovation for the company, but he can't do it forever unless they're working on a Steve Jobs android.
So let the bitching continue!! Apple caved in to the record companies' demand for variable pricing for tracks on iTunes. In return we get DRM-free music. Coolz!! But what about all the stuff I already bought from iTunes with DRM on it you ask? Oh, you can get it de-DRM-ed, but it's gonna cost you. 30 cents per track. So they're charging us again for something we already paid for? And if that's not shitty enough, you can't do it for individual songs. It's all or nothing. So that would cost me about $480. Yeah right.
