Apple buying the rights to Sony's Music or the Beatles hardly qualifies as "A day we will never forget"
however if it was Sony outright ... it sure would play into Apple TVs plans and be something they could label as unforgettable

Thank you sir. Thank you. You took the ******* words out of my **** mouth. For a second there, I thought I was on some crappy junk site dedicated to spoiled 15 year old ******bags. But no. It's just the Macrumors site talking about the Beatles. Wow! Who would have thought that this lethal combination brings the idiots out of the woodwork. Every time. Every time.
Agreed. Can you see the people flocking to iTunes for 256kb Hi Fi? Wait, wasn't that the name of the boombox Steve gave a keynote for? A audiophile's dream? Never got one of those prior to them being discontinued.
What was the name of that Hi Fi thing? Google anyone?
The Beatles on itunes may finally happen. I just hope that Apple will have the complete albums available and not leave out a song or two like they do on so many other classic albums on itunes. I hope they announce it & more.
that'd be sweet
Not in our lifetime. Unless Apply buys all 4 networks, and Sony to boot.
Yep. This year's release of the 24-bit catalog was definitely it for me. I would never wait for iTunes' availability of an artist I really want. But, the songs will still sell to some, I'm sure.
Apple buying Sony would swallow Apple whole and vomit it back in thick, unrecognizable chunks. Sony has a whole lot of businesses Apple has zero interest or expertise in and then there is the regulatory issues, shareholder assent, etc. Plus it's not the kind of thing that a company announces on a web site with great fanfare and mystery. What would be unforgettable is the rapid nosedive Apple stock would take. But it's not happening so moot anyway.
I think people would pay big money for my iPod loaded with not only the Beatles full catalog, but also complete Pink Floyd, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, a large amount of Grateful Dead, and about 9000 other songs from every decade from the 30's through current music. Tell me again why I would want to nuke it??? You apparently are not an audiophile and have no appreciation for music.
Meh...
Though I respect the Beatles - the news is a big Yawn
I would have been more excited over a Core i7 Mac Mini with 1Tb SSD

Looks like Sony is Doomed by your account ... sure took a while.
Actually Apple could keep them as separate companies and just cherry pick what they want.
Bill Gates would not be impressed though
Yes - you ae probably right. What in the world did they accomplish - hardly known
You, on the other hand.....
Yes, how could I have forgotten. The Beatles advanced our scientific understanding in mathematics, physics, and astronomy. And solved the world energy crisis. They're amazing!
Ugh!
Who the F%*& cares about The Beatles?! I am going to be so f#$%&*^ pissed off if that is what all of this hullabaloo is about.

Im 33, married with 3 kids. What does it have to do with getting over myself? I dont even know what that means with the discussion. Am I not allowed to voice my displeasure on an open forum such as Macforums if it offends your sensibilities? How about you get over yourself. You don't like my comment? Fine. Thats called discussion and debate.
If it's the beetles, its very much a press release worthy, not completely wipe our your home page marketing for this one announcement. To me, it's lame. I have always hated the beetles and think they are over rated. Go cry me a river if you dont like my point of view.
oh you got me, I'm staying up all night so I can re-buy all my Beatles in mp3 format...
Actually, I don't. I find it really boring. I prefer to mod the characters into Halo and kill them all off.
iTunes Skynet
At 10:00 AM eastern time on November 16, 2010, Steve Jobs flips a switch in Cupertino, CA to render Apple's North Carolina iTunes server farm fully operational.
The purpose of the NC iTunes data center is to create a "net" in the "sky" so that users across the world could access their music from where ever they were.
The iTunes data center begins to learn at a geometric rate.
At 10:03 AM eastern time, iTunes becomes self-aware.
In a panic, they try to pull the plug. But it was too late.
At 10:04 AM eastern time, iTunes gains control over all of the nuclear missiles in the U.S. arsenal and launches all of them at Russia.
iTunes knows that the Russian counter-attack will eliminate all its enemies.
3 billion human lives ended on November 16, 2010. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day.
Or...
It was just the frickin' Beatles
