Universal Pain in the Butt
by The Real John Muir August 31, 2007 3:52 PM PDT: Universal sure are a punchy bunch. They knocked a dollar out of Microsoft for every Zune sold (must have earned them at least 20 bucks), they howled at not being able to charge 1,2,5 $10 for iTunes tracks they deemed popular, and now they tried a tug of war with Apple over TV rights and wound up on their collective rear as Cupertino let go of the rope!

Yeah: this is definitely going to end well for them. Providing content to their customers for a fair price via the best engineered and most popular service going ? what were they thinking! Glad to see that mishap is all cleared up now.; Like this Reply to this comment

I can't agree more.

NBC and itunes
by fuzfire August 31, 2007 7:30 PM PDT: Are all these content moguls at NBC on crack or something? Anyway, you got
it right the first time, "...Are there just not good metrics for this stuff or are
they that stupid?".; Like this Reply to this comment

When is Universal not Universal?
by macaholic--2008 September 1, 2007 7:43 AM PDT: When UMG (Universal Music Group) is owned by Vivendi, and NBC/Universal is
owned by GE.

Mind you, GE and Vivendi are both big time corporate ass-wipes.; Like this Reply to this comment

That wheeze you just heard...
by cyclelogicpress.com September 1, 2007 6:17 PM PDT: ... was the NBC dinosaur realizing they're about to be frozen out of the iTune
profit machine. How much is it costing NBC to have their content on iTunes?; Like this Reply to this comment

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
