More Speculation for Tomorrow: Beatles on iTunes

November 16th is also the anniversary of the Beatles 1st appearance on American TV (in 1963). Makes sense. Jobs likes tie-ins like this.
 
And if you play Helter Skelter backwards, it says "I bury Steve."
(Someone else can explain that to the youngsters.)
 
Hello all,

I think the beatles for two reasons.

This is big for SJ given the litigation/ill will between then, apple vs apple, the beatles suing apple computers three times.

Isn't Tuesdays when new music is added? And can you imagine the beatles just appearing on iTunes one day without a word?

My two cents.

I'm a potential Beatles fan who does not have any of their music at this time. If the catalog is a decent price, I'll probably pick it up.

You could also buy the CD's and burn them like everyone else. It's not like this is the first time since the 1960-70's the Beatles library has been available for purchase. Some people have probably bought it in several media iterations. Sometimes this feels like one long scam to get us to buy the same music again and again.
 
Why does this warrant it's own article?

Wow - MacRumors is really scraping the barrel on this one - 4 articles on the same piece of news.

Any correlation between the Beatles and the wording of the ad and the four clocks is extremely tentative to say the least!

I really hope it's something more exciting tomorrow.
 
Apple vs. Apple - Together, finally

The Macrumors forum is always really negative after an Apple announcement but if this was all just for the Beatles then the negativity would be justified. We know that Apple come out with some massive and outlandish statements but they are usually right in a way.

This is would just be ridiculous if it was the Beatles. Yes they are a massive band and one of the most influential and popular but its just a band. Its really not gonna make me never forget this day.

I've got my fingers crossed for something special. :eek:

The Beatles can't at once be "just a band," and "a massive band and one of the most influential and popular." They are the latter.

For the kids out there who are screaming "MEH," hey, whatever. Chill out until something happens that you can wet your girl-jeans over, like, I dunno, a new Fart app specific to the next gen. iPad.

The battle between Apple and Apple is legion - it's been a long hoped for realization for iTunes to carry The Beatles, and it will garner attention and make money. Heck, way back in the day Apple computer had to make a promise their computers couldn't make music because they were called Apple - for those of us who remember, it's truly been a "long and winding road." ;)
 
Weird

I haven't seen such demented guessing since the various loony interpretations of the cover of "Abbey Road," which launched the "Paul is dead" rumors.

Paul and Ringo are all that's left.
 
The Beatles entire catalog of music in iTunes new HD format is huge news. I can't wait to order everything, twice. Really I'm so excited I literally can't wait to transfer the files manually from my iMac to my MacBook Pro I'll buy every album once on each computer just so it's accessible to me the moment these incredible works are available on iTunes. I won't sleep tonight because I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve filled with excitement and expectation right now.

People used to ask: where were you when the Berlin Wall fell? After tomorrow they will be asking: where were you when The Beatles back catalog launched on iTunes?

This is big. Real big.
 
Looks like a standard 4 clock display of world times for international companies. Local time vs the 3 cities where the major world stock exchanges are located.
 
ok ive been thinking and my hope has been revived :D

im thinking its not JUST the beatles....they are just a side not the really big thing, perhaps they are related to it in some way....and for some reason they just decided to use the beatles to for hints to the announcement

here's to more than JUST the beatles!!!
 
If they announce that they are releasing The Beatles on iTunes before they release 4.2 software I am going to be ticked off. I have an iPhone that is basically a paperweight until I can unlock it with the 4.2 update. :mad:
 
If that is all it is, I would bet money that the Beatles powers-that-be requested this kind of hype/announcement as part of the agreement. I'm sure Apple is more current and knows better.
 
I just have to say im so very excited and blah blah blah blah.... :D

I do indeed think it is happening.... :D

I should add, i own like ZERO of their music aside from Rock Band. My 6yo wants me to BUY Yellow Submarine for her....
 
I predict everyone will download at least one Beatles tune

I predict everyone will download at least one Beatles tune as long as they end up as a Free Single of the Week.

But then, I can see the complaining comments now: "This free song sounds so old! You call this pop? C'mon iTunes can't you get any good bands? Who wants to listen to a band named after a bug?"

Lots and lots of burned out hippies and flour children with graying hair, iPods and iPhones ready to drop $50 to $100 for all the Beatles albums on their iPod that they don't have to rip. That is also all the cover art that they will stare at on their iPhone during business and PTA meetings.

Not you!

Has Apple ever done this before? I know that in the past they've generally themed their announcements around the product, but never actually putting hints...

You don't remember when they released the Mac Book Air, how their banners prior to the event said "There's something in the air" ??
