Your ear can hear 20-20k Hz pure sinusoidal sound, but you never hear pure sinusoidal sound.
The blending of several higher frequency tones resulting in an average 22k Hz is what you hear at your top end, but your audio equipment has to be able to handle up to 96k Hz to reproduce audio adequately.
That said, I had a Nakamichi cassette desk that darn near could, well, until the tape degraded and introduced wow or flutter or hiss.
Almost all of my music is media shifted vinyl, CDs or its downloaded DRM-less from the PMN (the podsafe music network) so saying that the monopoly is to ignore the fact that the iTMS has sold X billion DRMed tunes while X' billion tunes were ripped the same way. (I have a bookcase full of 'archival' CDs and another full of vinyl.)
I'd be interested if someone worked the storage requirement of all of Apple's iTMS sales versus the total storage space available on all the iPods currently out there.
You ARE correct in stating that songs downloaded from the iTMS have Apple's DRM, (at least until you burn them to a CD [CD-RW anyone,], wipe the originals = and re-import them.:-)
You're NOT distributing it and they have no access until they can furnish the long passage of a book that you used for a key. (Complete with your own personal version of l33t-spelling.)
As far as anyone knows, the drives I use for backups, on-site and off, are mine and mine alone. Their contents are mine and mine alone. Anybody doesn't like it can go suck an egg.
Ugh... One person's musical web page is another's noise (and its specially galling when people have multiple videos on their web pages that all play simultaneously. PUKE!)
As for the usability issues, they are indeed a "shitty web design" problem.
Program for events and NOT for triggers and your interface can be adaptive.
Most web (2.0 or not) stuff is coded like it was thought up by a twelve-year old and QAed by a thirteen year old.
Kids too ignorant to ever be let loose near firearms.
But instead there put in charge of things and pout when people complain that they didn't think of... (the list is endless.)
I'm not going to educate you except to tell you to Google for it.
The disruptive part is that it seems to be much more reliable which would mean that you can wave the tech goodbye for a while, instead of having to lose access to a sting of drives RAIDed together while they have to rebuild a drive which failed and needed replacement.
Think of running XFS without having to worry about the drives' physical reliability because they're really reliable. (If you've got 5PB online it usually "which drive just failed", instead of "here's the data")
"What does it store?" Jeez... "Shoes" What the hell do you think it stores? How about data!
But you are correct in that TFA didn't carry a price list of various configurations.
The internet, with its spoofable IPv4 addresses and its "Nobody knows you're a dog" attitude, means that I don't take anything at face value, least of all anything important.
I hate Windows (the class hierarchy is way too shallow, which gets you into all kinds of security problems,) Microsoft I think is just a typical big corporation with some buffoons at the top and its devolves from there.
I love the Macs, the iPods, Jonathan Ives and their product design team.
I would quit before working with (make that 'for', you never 'with' someone like) Steve Jobs.
If you're lucky, he's not actively working 'against" you. (Some people have that as their management style. [I have nothing against that, I just know I can't work for someone like that.])
I think that you are quite right not to trust Google. But that's because I don't think you should trust any corporation.

I own a PowerBook G4, a G5 iMac, a MacBook Pro and a couple of BIG (2TB) external drives because they have LASTED that long.
My Linux box and my wife's XP box have both NEEDED WORK and I've got a spare ready to go for the next time they crap out. (As long as the drive is good, I can just swap it out, otherwise, I can recover from the network backup.)

Take your "DRM only" crap outta here.
NO MP3s on there.

Chaos is a process or descending down paths probabilities, not a result.
Quantum theory and the indeterminacy of states means that the actual state of a system has to be known, it cannot be calculated.

So you can get a real close look, like Galileo did with the early telescope.
Just tell somebody to knock them out of your hands what the hair on the back of your head starts to smoke.
Your comment about coastlines is actually more relevant than not.
Just like the coastline depends on the measuring stick you use, the concept of a surface depends on some measuring stick in Cartesian space.
Just look at "The Fractal Geometry of Nature" by Benoit B. Mandelbrot to see more info.
The surface of the sun is more of a 3D+ construct since it cannot be precisely defined.
prescribing all Muslims from listening to music.
Then you can forbid any ARIA from entering your country UNDER PAIN OF DEATH!
I see these lawyers just swinging from tree limbs.
I can't believe you're on about this, (he said listening to DRM free songs, downloaded from the iTunesMusicStore, on his Creative ZenStone.)
Your igorance is embarrassing.
Check you fact before spouting off with your prejudices.
I take EVERYTHING I read with a kilo of salt.
The internet, with its spoofable IPv4 addresses and its "Nobody knows you're a dog" attitude, means that I don't take anything at face value, least of all anything important.
No expensive proprietary solution required.

the corona discharge plates are filthy and need to be cleaned?
I use the technology already to keep my office/recording studio air clean.
Nothing to see here.
that Macs last and last and last.

We tend to ignore static objects, like black featureless things mounted on light-standards.
Children raised in pathological conditions will react with pathological behavior.
But children raised in situations where the architecture is merely interesting but non-reactive just grow up.
its that we don't know by whom or why.
The lack of transparency is at the heart of any problem we have with surveilance.
We can't do bugger all with suppositions.

They own all noise on this planet...

since any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, it must be so, and magic is NOT patentable.
