iTunes says It's Showtime

Step away from your credit card!

That's boys and girls. Stop rubbing that credit card with your feverish sweaty palms.

Place credit card in safe/lock box/locked drawer, then take combination/key and give it to trusted non mac-head.

Now get yourselves admitted to local sanitarium for severe keynote addiction.:D

I suppose I should put you out of your misery.

According to a friend who knows someone whose father trims Steve Jobs hedges every second Sunday of the month, Apple are releasing a replacement for the iPod today. They're going to drop the iPod as it hasn't been much of a success, and replace it with a monkey genetically engineered to be small enough to fit into your pocket. Instead of downloading music onto it, it'll be trained to know every song ever written, so you just hit it and shout the song or album you want it to play, and it'll start singing it.

I'm interested to see how they'll keep control of DRM in this new product though.

Here's a picture of the product his contact got with his camera-phone (try to imagine a convenient blur...):

Sigh, now that the US Store is down, it's just a waiting game till the event.

Luckily, there's always a plentiful supply of newbies who will no doubt post asking what time the keynote is, or that it no longer says "iTunes Music Store" for the eleventy billionth time.

They annoyed me this time.. I had 8 songs in my basket and i'm unable to purchase them - I can understand with an online store that delays something for at least 24 hours... but for an instant content delivery system it's rather annoying as a customer.

I'm always a little wary of "Newbies" being overly critical in their posts. Generally it smacks of trolling.

Considering the importance of this particular Apple venture into potentially billions of dollars for those concerned, I doubt they care about getting your $7.92 at the moment.

I checked to see "other posts by this author" and was surprised, however, that you weren't completely brand new to the board. But I will say that the majority of your posts are very negative about Apple not treating you right as a customer.

Fully agree! If this is an update to globally release movies and tv shows all I have to say is FINALLY

If it's not... Apple are letting down anyone outside America once again with another America-centered update :/

More negativity on page 3. Man... Cheer up, mate. There's new goodies to be had.

Keep half an eye on the finland store. For me it didnt go down when they updated to the C2D iMac and the new Mac Mini's and I was able to report first. *Pats self on back* lol... Just a heads up tho.

Oh is that right? :rolleyes:

P.S. It's not down yet ;) Surely they wouldn't make the same mistake twice...

They've done so on several occasions, there's no reason for them to stop now. But they don't always use Finland as their testing ground.

Man, all of the countries iTunes Music Store servers are going down one after another.

They're run on Apple hardware, aren't they? Not the best advertisement for reliability...

If you are serious you are a blind idiot. If you are joking put a smiley after your post because it makes you look like a blind idiot! :D
 
I'm stoked about the new iPod socks coming out today! All my old ones have holes in them...bu dum dum. :)

sold!
 
Do we all get video?? Please??!?! :)

I think what is really neat right now is that the iTunes Store is down for all countries!!! not just the US Store.. does this mean.. just maybe.. that we are all getting video content today? Could that even be possible!?!?!??!
 
Program?

I have not read through the 20 pages of comments so this may have already come up, but I am wondering if Showtime is going to be a program on its on. The movie version of itunes. Just a thought.
 
Maybe it's just me, but "Showtime" doesn't sound all that Apple-esque. First of all it's not a noun like the newer apps (since it's obviously not an i-app). FrontRow, Timeline, Photo Booth.
 
can i have the link of the supposedly paused stream, i think i lost the window or something... thanks

Was this picture taken with the "new today" iPhone? That could explain the lack of "pre-iPhone-camera-phone-blur" :D

BTW - what it the Monkey's name? Bill??? :cool:
