apple didn't create itunes. they bought a company that sold music management software and renamed it. there were two at the time. SoundJam and something else. don't remember the names. I think the first one said no to a buyout and the other one said OK and iTunes was born. forgot the details but that was about it.
ipod released only after there was a market for MP3 players iphone released after some phones got the ability to play music files, access email and surf the internet. WAP had been around for years tablet concepts had been around for years as well
Apple's innovation is to find a new market or one in need of a new product make a list of all features currently available or wanted pick one or a select few thought to be the top features and do them better than everyone else add in the rest of the features over the next few years
apple has never released a brand new unique product that no one ever has
with DLC for everything these days they know they will get some of it because a lot of people will buy the extra armor and levels and songs. but with $60 per game, that's A LOT less games.
there are some excellent iOS games coming out now for less than $5. might not have the realistic graphics but game play is just as good. i'll just buy the apple tv and play on my ipad or iphone
WTF is hard to find titles in 2012? you can find any game anywhere in a B&M or online anytime. and this will have downloadable games so you can just pre-order and it will download a few weeks before release and activate on release day like steam
2010 bought x-box bought Black Ops played it, sold it and bought GoW new double pack played it sold it and bought new copies of ME1 and ME2
if i have to pay $60 for games, and no resale then i'll buy a few games like ME or Dragon Age where you can replay with different characters to get some value
or just keep playing x-box 360 games. lots of GOTY and other super editions with DLC and add ones out there for CHEAP.
the way the canadian pharmacies work is the government buys up the drugs and they sell it to americans subsidized by the canadian government because the social health system is always short of money
most times it's not businesses not wanting to come to town but the town wanting the business to spend ridiculous amounts of money on yarn museums or something useless just to show that they aren't going to make money off the residents. or making them pay too much for the rights to lay wiring
in theory LTE allows more users per tower at the same time so we will see the data caps go up. just like minutes went up over time
2001 i had 400 minutes and they were used no matter who i called except for nights and weekends 2012 all my calls to AT&T numbers are free any time. if i add texting then all my calls to any cell in the USA is free any time
worldwide LTE usage is a tiny minority of total worldwide smartphone users
verizon has the largest LTE network. there are a few small test networks in europe. AT&T is building out as well. most outside of the USA wireless carriers have no plans to build LTE for a few more years
every time i search for SQL related info i get crap from exchange-admins or some site like that where a forum question is on top and the rest of the page is ads and a link to make me sign up and pay for the rest of the posts. why can't google link to free info first?
and that good for you mayor villain from Demolition Man. They try to say it's good for you when all they are doing is trying to lock out the competition
those $100 books the schools buy can be used by 100 kids per day for years. now with kids buying $15 books per semester or per year i bet the publishers are going to make a lot more money.
30 books at $100 each is $3000 before the sales drone commissions. 30 students per class/6 classes per teacher is 180 kids buying their own book at $15. $2700 before apple's commission.
but now every kid will have to buy the book since the books won't be shared over the years. and how much you want to be they will introduce the college scam of updating the books a little every year or dumbing them down so that every grade needs a fresh set of books
something like 95% of all proposed laws never see the light of day and are killed in committee. there are all kinds of crazy laws proposed every day and this is what congress is for
one of the reasons auto theft declined is police busted and closed chop shops that took and resold the parts. and you can now buy cheap off brand parts for any car as well. not like anyone stole cars back in the day for personal use

and there were online music marketplaces before. apple tied to a product and made DRM music a safe buy.
the ipod was a good product and unless you're a bored tech boy trying something new every month there was no reason to switch and "lose" your music

you're supposed to stop buying your ads through the obnoxious ad network that does these ads and buy through google to come up in google search

in a lot of places outside the big cities the electric company is government owned or a cooperative or both
oops
i LOVE our glorious President. he's the Dearest Leader i've ever had
go to www.house.gov and see for yourself. almost everything congress does is public record and recorded
something like 95% of all proposed laws never see the light of day and are killed in committee. there are all kinds of crazy laws proposed every day and this is what congress is for
wonder if it has active directory connectivity? that would be so cool to add my car to the company's AD forest

looked at the apple tv but it's only netflix and hulu. itunes store has some nice deals but roku supports amazon
