    There goes all the money I set aside for my Christmas shopping.

    Well, I keep clicking "here," and all that happens is that the word gets highlighted.

    First Paypal then...eBay itself! Imagine being able to auction off iTunes songs you thought were badass but now think are just ass (I'm talking to you, Incubus fans) via the iTunes music store interface. Oh yeah, and Apple could control supply of super-popular songs to prop up its eBay side in a sort of DeBeer's-ish artificial price inflation mechanism. What? Little Miss Jailbait's latest hot-hot-hot single is burning up the charts? Too bad, only 100 people can buy the song directly. I guess this would be a good time for one of those trez-fashionable Slashdot "1)X 2)Y 3)?? 4)Profit!" sort of lines.

  4. How? by The+Cisco+Kid · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ok, so I went to itunes.com, and poked around, and found all sorts of info on how great it was, and how easy, yet nowhere can I find a link to actually select music to check out with for download.

    AllOfMP3 ... won't limit your options with formats/encoding/drm--not to mention that it's much, much cheaper.

    Largely due to their unqiue intellectual property model, which is surpsingly under-utilised elsewhere on the 'net. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it's called the "Ha ha, fuck you - we're all the way over in Russia. Come get us! :-)" model.

    Mine's even weirder. Every other click highlights that entire bottom line.

    Perhaps we have a security issue here?
