Frivolous

Everybody knows that iTunes doesn't make nearly as much money as the iPod. iTMS is just there to sell iPods, so there is no reason for Apple to feel compelled to open up iTMS to everybody. It's basically a service for iPod customers that others can use as well.

This guy will be forgotten before too long.

Still, maybe this is karma for Apple (fairly spuriously) suing TS....

Finally, a correct usage of the word karma (thanks)! There's no such thing as good karma. This is one of those common usage issues where it's affected the dictionary definition as well, but strictly speaking - and since this is a Sanskrit and Hindi word - karma is always a bad thing and it's best to be free of it. :)

So, is there a word that means the opposite of karma? Something that's a good thing and is best to be full of? Just wondering.
 
Apparently he was forced to buy an iPod. Wait, despite iPod holding the Lions share of the market there are an abundance of competitors? good luck.

If anyone compares this to M$s monopoly on an Operating System I am not going to have much sympathy.

Buy a Minidisc player if you really want to get burned.

Can karma even be scientificly proven? If so James Randy has a million dollars. :D

The answer to both questions is, I don't know. Now I have to go look up the James Randy reference to get it. :)
 
dont hate me but i can sort of see from this blokes point of view it is a bit naff that your not able to use other mp3 players with itunes but i also hope that the case is thrown out of the courts because this bloke is clearly looking for trouble. any way nobodys forcing him to use bloody itunes if he dont like it he shouldent use it the stupid prick.

I agree with Mr.Slattery completely!

How many times have I bought 12" vinyls only to find when I try and play them on my DVD player that they won't!! I wouldn't mind but it's a fairly new Panasonic DVD/R HDD, and feel I'm justified in laying the blame solely at Panasonics feet. How dare they force me to use DVD's, the bullies. Come to think of it...I've got some old 8 track tapes that I haven''t tried on it yet...bet you anything they wont. Im calling a lawyer!! See you in court Panasonic!! :mad:

That's a perfect analogy, it's exactly like tapes and cds and such - and the people are buying from the iTunes music store at a heavy discount over buying it on real media, so they have no right to complain that they can't play it on any other machine, it's exactly like wanting to play your eight track tapes on a dvd player, because you can play your iTunes on other systems, for example by moving them to CD and reimporting, which is much like a tape to CD or tape to tape transfer. Dumb lawsuits should be banned. People need to stop trying to get a piece of the pie by suing other people. :mad:
