  9. Re:No more DRM on music, but... on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    Still, it's a step in the right direction, and I applaud the people over at Amazon (and everyone else selling music without DRM) for doing it first. Without that step, I'm willing to bet that Apple would have stayed with DRM on their music catalog.

    I'd take that bet. Apple was selling DRM-free music before Amazon even HAD an MP3 store.

    Steve Jobs' "Thoughts On Music" manifesto where he basically said "we hate DRM and want to get rid of it" was posted in February 2007. They started actually selling DRM free music under the "iTunes Plus" name in April 2007. Not everything in their library, mostly indy and EMI labels, but it was more DRM-free downloads than anyone at the time.

    Amazon MP3 didn't open until September 2007.

    Even if that's true, you didn't accelerate to more than 80 mph in the space of an intersection, so the point is moot.

  17. Re:Going to get in trouble on Picasa Rolls Out 3.0 — Now With Facial Recognition · · Score: 1

    Never said anything like that.

    You mentioned speeding, for instance: of course I do it. Everyone does. When I get a ticket, I pay it- I knew there was a speed limit, I knew the consequences, and I decided to do it anyway. If the fine for speeding was worse- $750 rather than $75, or license suspension, or jail- I probably wouldn't.

    If you're on a college sports team, and you don't want to get kicked off, don't do something that will get you kicked off.

    Cause -> effect.
