I've heard in multiple articles and reports, one being an NPR interview with the Vice President of Marketing at Apple stating that DRM is in Apple's favor and they don't want to change it (it was a foot in mouth moment you've gotta hear it). DRM is beneficifal for keeping their market share. With all your music locked into an ipod you can't jump to any other hardware product. Practically the day after that interview Apple did an about face and Steve Jobs posted his "thoughts on DRM" article. And I'm not putting all the blame on Apple, DRM is or was in the music industry's benefit too, but right now, Apple is set up to 'possibly' loose if they pull the DRM out now.
Apple doesn't release the iPhone, MAJOR fanboy revolt. + Look at all the comments above, it sounds to me like everyone now knows what to save their money for, no matter what the cost.
1. Purchase song on iTunes with DRM
2. Rip to CD
3. Delete purchased music
4. Copy music back to iTunes from ripped CD
5. DRMless music
How are you stuck with Apple again???
I could just imagine a blind person listening to his/her Web 2.0 Desktop. Web 2.0 is b.s. unless used wisely under normal usability standards. And as far as I'm concerned, Ajax desktops are still a pipe dream.

Pardon me, I'm no physics intellect but you're hurling a piece of metal through space at super crazy distances and velocities in unexplored areas of space. You come to tell me that you're trying to figure out an anomoly that happened in deep space? Millions of miles away? Hey, it doesn't take a genius to know that there's a gafricknzillion objects hurling around your little satellite whipping it all over the place, its amazing it stays on your little dotted lines as much as it does to begin with. Why don't you all check to see if the satellite passed through another object's path and time was bending there enough to change the satellite's course.

Well I hope you're both right
