About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, September 10, 2007Jumping the iSharkThe New York Times touches on the topic du jour:Let me get this straight: Steve Jobs insists that songs on iTunes cost 99 cents and television episodes cost $1.99 because consumers crave simple pricing.This is interesting on a number of levels. First, the hypocrisy thing is pretty obvious. Second, that NBC has made its shows available on Amazon Unbox for less than they sold on iTunes is telling. Finally, the "sucker" comment closely resembles the "stooge" line I used the other day. I guess we're on the same page when it comes to the gotta-have-it gadget crowd and the Monday morning quarterbacking scenario where people have actually argued that they've gotten $200 of value out of the past two months of iPhone use. Egads. Labels: Apple, Digital media, iPhone, iPod, iTunes [ Posted at 1:33 PM | Permalink ]
