Sure, I diss my Apple Powerbook all the time, but that still doesn't mean I think Apple is an absolutely wonderful company. The iPod has been my trusty music player for a year and a half, and my respect for Steve Jobs went through the roof after reading iCon Steve Jobs : The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business (I have this if anybody wants to borrow it).

Normally I don't bother to reposting fanboy announcements, but FINALLY FINALLY I can buy TV episodes from iTunes! I don't really enjoy watching Lost on TV (I'm usually too busy when it's on, so being able to buy it from iTunes the next day for ONLY $1.99!!!!! is amazing! I always feel guilty about downloading the episode from Bittorent the next day ... and now I can do it legally :)

Woo hoo. Perhaps I won't watch Lost tonight just so I can download it and watch it on iTunes tomorrow :)

You actually PAY for audio and video downloads? What about P2P? BitTorrent? Cubicle neighbor that has shady sources? Anything?

I get my music from AllOfMP3.com for $0.01 per meg. Still looking for a reliable video source, but for now BearShare it is.

I was thinking, I know a new docked iPod can be plugged into a bigger monitor/TV for better playback of video, but iTrip for video, hmm

Also, noticed <a href="http://fast.info/myspace/">this about myspace recently</a>, I don't know if it actually happened but sal could have been everyones hero here...

I heard Jobs is in pusan for some international meeting. Bain's global CEO is also participating in. Our CEO stopped by our office yesterday and i had the unfortunate opportunity to sit in on it. He was raving about how Jobs resurrected Apple and all i can think was how i could ask this dude to get me Jobs' signature and a Nano

Amazing. I sit here the proud owner of an i-mac for 3 years now, and did not even know you could download TV from i-tunes. I'll have to look into that. I've never noticed anything about movies or TV in there, but I don't use i-tunes that much -- just to download songs from limewire once in awhile. Thanks.

Yea, shortly after I posted I saw something on CNN about it -- and I don't think I would want to watch on a small screen like that. My eyes are old and tired. :-)

Only problem roy.... the quality. The videos you buy are formated for your iPod. I dont' wanna watch a video that small. Maybe you can find a happy medium by buying the itunes version, then downloading the hdtv rip on bittorrent? ;)
