Because, of course, by putting The Beatles on iTunes, Steve Jobs is PERSONALLY forcing you to buy their music. I mean, wow. It's not like he's just expanding their selection for people that aren't conceited enough to think people in a completely unrelated discussion care what music you listen to.
Understood. I don't mean to come off saying they should do this or do that. What I mean to say is that I agree that this is over-hyping this and it really doesn't apply to much of the customers who use iTunes. This might be a huge success for the company but if it does not apply to their customers who see events as large updates in how iTunes distributes music, then it is a waste of investors money and stakeholders time.
Once again personal opinion and merely stating this as review.
Dang dude... Forget your maxipad? Why dont you chill out? You have a real problem with Apple getting critcism.
If that's all this is...
Then Apple has lost any "hype" credibility they had, and will have finally jumped the shark. I sincerely hope this isn't all of the Beatles, the Beatles are 40-50 years ago, and frankly not that big a deal to those of us who were born outside of that time.
They would also be doing a huge disservice to all other artist on iTunes, why don't they get front page on the Apple website? This can't be all this is can it?
I hope it's really much bigger than this, but if it's just Beatles, "A day I'll never forget", hardly.... I won't forget it, but not for the right reasons.

Ok, i thought the Beatle fans vs. Anti-Beatle people was bad... Lets not have a nerd fued please.
No! Don't! Run! The laserbeams burnnnn!
Seriously, though, as much as I love the Beatles, and I do love the Beatles, it's not worth a full home page and this much hype. It's cool. It's fun. Personally, I already have the whole collection saved on my old hard drive. I think perhaps either there's something more to it, or.....Steve Jobs is a very big Beatles fan.
I don't, actually. Apple gets less criticism than they deserve about most things.
But when criticism of Apple is because someone is self-centered enough to expect Apple to do exactly what they want, then I have a problem. People on these forums are convinced that everything Apple does should be dictated by their personal demands. They completely ignore the fact that apple has millions of reasons to act outside of what they want, and ignore completely rational reasons for Apple to take a certain course of action.
I understand if you have concerns about their advertising, their products, their conduct in dealing with their customers. I share many of these concerns. But don't go around acting like one whiny customer that has his panties in a bunch has, or should have, the power to change things.
Oh my gawd stop. I get it. You have some fixation that you think im self centered. I get it. Geez. Im not here to impress you. So if you want to move on, please. Put me on ignore...just. please. stop.
Calm down, I'm not coming after you with a machete. I'm just asking you (and others like you) to consider that Apple is a company with millions of customers besides yourself, and your personal needs are not, and nor should they be, Apple's top priority. By all accounts Apple is doing phenomenally well and they've been ignoring what all the whiners are saying.
Side note- I don't mean for this to get personal. I can't remember if you actually posted anything like what i'm talking about, tbh. I'm talking about a lot of this community in general.
