So what’s this about Apple dropping it’s prices on songs in iTunes?
Ahhh, I see, it’s actually NOT. It leaves the option of song prices up to the artists or their distributors. See, they can sell them for $0.69, $0.99, or $1.29 instead of the current price of $0.99.
This will eventually pan out to everyone pricing their songs at $1.29 because Apple is a big fucking cunt and takes a greater share than the artists get, or some crappy deal like that which proves the fact that Apple is a big fucking cunt. I hardly ever use the word ‘cunt’ so this only proves how much disdain I have for the company.
But you the consumer should know these sorts of things: For every dollar you spend on Apple products, 50 cents goes towards the clubbing of baby seals. Another 25 cents goes towards R&D to saturate plastic with evil hormones which by osmosis penetrates your ear canal and enter your bloodstream every time you stick an Apple earbud in your hearing canal. Twenty cents goes towards turtlenecks for Steve Jobs, and the last 5 cents goes towards prosecuting people who say bad things about Apple.
Not to say Apple hasn’t got some sweet products – take the iPod for example. A masterpiece of technology and a cultivator of more Apple product purchasing addictions. Or the iPhone – a fantastic revenue redistribution technology. Take money from young hip people and put it into the pockets of AT&T and Apple, who turn around and invest it in more evil products that cool people are compelled to buy.
The only good thing is that they’re supposedly dropping the copy protection thing, which means I might actually open an iTunes account rather than go through Amazon.
Nah, fuck that. Steve has enough fucking turtlenecks. Stupid cunt.
I love both you and Mjenks..you make me laugh. Be careful though-there’s an awful lot of that last 5 cents spent on Apple products to prosecute people who call them, “big fucking cunts”. You know how I worry..
I think if Apple prosecuted everyone who called them a “big fucking cunt” they’d have no money left to make jazzy new iPods and phones and smug, condescending commercials about how they’re superior to PCs. I just want them to stop being nazis regarding songs you purchase then can’t do jack shit with. Fuckers.
Who do they think they are? Google? Did they check with Google to see if they could push us around like this? Apple is one thing, but Google reserves all it’s money for litigation. (I love you Google, and I would never say anything bad about you)
Apple is sexy. I LOVE Apple. If Apple was a man, I’d have sex with him.
Hey, you know. I do not use Apple, so we are good there. But that is the second blog I read this morning, bashing Apple. (erm.. well, my morning. I have not ate breakfast yet, so it is still morning.Gawd, I love Christmas Break.)
Anyway, I said those things in my blog because it is the principle of the situation. I was not too terribly offended, just saddened,and so on. But I still read your crap because, well, it is funny crap.
And, uh.. boobies.
Writing software (programs and device drivers) for Apple computers is the same.
Apple hands out lists of rules that you must follow to make your program interface with their computers instead of letting you see how their software is written so you can do things with their computers they have never thought of or aren’t smart enough to implement.
That’s why Macs run without crashing, they don’t let the programmers innovate so the machine runs at half it’s potential with twice the stability.
I’m completely addicted to my I-pod. It’s practically a love affair at this point. It’s sitting right here on the desk in front of me, flirting and winking at me, promising to whisper (and wail) sweet nothings in my ears. *sigh* Gotta go.
Hey, hey , hey. Hoobastank was totally going fucking broke w/ all those .99 cent songs.
I make my own music by playing the little keyboard on my iPod.
Apple tax, Apple tax, cinimon toasty Apple tax…
