Apple to Sell Movies in iTunes
According to an article in Daily Variety, Apple is currently in talks with several Hollywood studios about adding movies to the iTunes Store. However, the talks have stalled. Apparently, the final detail they can’t resolve is the price point. Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, wants a flat price of $9.99 per movie. The flat rate model has made Apple’s music store a simple and pleasant experience for users. However, studio executives rather see a range of prices from $2, for discount titles, to $20 or more for new releases.
When could we see movies offered in the iTunes Store? Daily Variety cites several “unnamed sources” who predict that Apple might begin offering movie downloads by the end of 2006. Who knows, maybe by Christmas morning you could legally download a new release and play it for the family.
iPod Video + iTunes Movie Store + TV + iPod Video dock = Blockbuster bankruptcy
How’s my math?

2000t? sounds like a lawn mower model

I reached here by keyword search of “iTunes” “skipping” and “Megaupload”. As you can guess, this means iTunes is skipping on me when I access a Megaupload page. God knows what stupid Spyware script is working in the background on my Windows PC (I really oughta switch). As for the poster above, I can only guess that he’s using a notebook, only the numbnut failed to mention it. Hey Felix, “2000t” can stand for anything from cell phones models to your future robot sex pardner. It’s very simple: An iMac is a computer. A Pavilion is a computer. A Vaio is a computer. Don’t just throw a number at people and expect them to know what it is. I hope for your sake you check back this blog often to find your answer, because you left us a fricking generic URL, not even an email address.
