From the initial take, the intent of the article could easily be construed to say Java will die.
But I thought was interesting that it would be from old age, not from some challenger language.
In many regards, concerning its lifetime, C has been/will be around for a very long time too... Which, I think, is probably one of the signs of a good language. Because if it was so horrible/people could not get their stuff done reliably, no one would use it.
I agree. At least with iTMS I can burn my music to an audio CD which actually works in a non-computer.
Until these services let me burn a DVD from their player and let me play it on my iPod, there's no interest here...
The whole "Plays for unsure" deal follows the usual Microsoft joke for reliability and interoperability...

With Apple, you may be locked in, but that's better than being locked out! At least Apple wants customers, instead of wanting to get rid of them.
It just goes to show that Microsoft does not really care about music, customers, or even really trying to provide their customers a service.
And I find it ironic that they're not even trying to "migrate" their customers to their latest schizophrenic, half-baked music scheme now...
