Apple Makes no Profit from iTunes

Posted by Cliff on from the loss-leader dept.

Some Beech writes: "The Register has an article about the lack of profit from iTunes. Also mentioned in a Seattle Times article dated 27th October, it seems Apple is relying on iTunes to drive iPod sales rather then being a profit centre on its own." Another reader pointed us to Apple's details from the Analyst Meeting.

    It was originally British prison slang (albeit now passed into common parlance) for a child molester. (ie, a nonsensical crime)

    Sometimes, you'll also hear the term 'Bacon'.

    Bacon = bacon bonce = nonce = paedophine.

    Hope that helps.
