Apple has added all five Academy Awards-Nominated Short Films (Live Action) to their US iTunes Store for US$1.99 each:

These are the subjects of two short films nominated in the live-action category at this year’s Academy Awards. You can now download all five live-action short film nominees, one of which will be awarded a fabled statuette on Sunday, March 5. An iTunes exclusive.

Cool. Seems like it is almost time to split the video store into its own application.
Yeah I wish Apple would put the Video Store with Quicktime (and make QUicktime more like iTunes), but I understand they wanted to make this available to everyone who already downloaded iTunes. Maybe eventually they will split it into two different apps…
Never Mind, Earthlink is already to high.
Palm tho is probably going to go below $40 soon.
Apple .. might never hit $70 because and is headed below $60
All stocks are headed south for the next 4-5 months.
Its the season of “cooling down” due to extreme hype stocks have received during Christmass and there are probably 1000’s of stocks out there with high expectations.
Google says the reason why growth is expected to slow down is due to ” LAWS OF LARGE NUMBERS “
I think that is total nonsense, the way i see it, People TRIED to see what google was all about ( in terms of advertising on it ) and they all now realize Google traffic is JUNK TRAFFIC, which means REVENUE WILL DECLINE BIG TIME. and and those ” LARGE NUMBERS” will turn into ” SMALL NUMBERS”
meaning until GOOGLE is priced faily ( $100-150 range ) it will go down, which means it will drag stocks down with itself.
Interesting that each video is a little over 3″ diagonal. Seems close to the rumors about the upcoming iPod.
iTunes Media Store. iMedia the app. iTunes & Quicktime the players. Works 4 me
Earthlink…are you playing short on the markets or what?????
Such a no-event just like 2/28.

Actually, the number QuickTime users is larger than that of iTunes users. You need QuickTime to install iTunes, but you don’t need iTunes to install QuickTime, so making it available to QuickTime users is making it available to everyone who already downloaded iTunes and some more.
Why doesn’t Apple do that? I suspect it’s because of the brand. iTunes might be more popular than QuickTime and Apple wants to capitalize of iTunes’s and iTMS’s popularity to push video downloads.
And how do you “dress” Andrew Thomas:
Should I listen to you or read your articles based on what you put on.
And how do you dare to question millions of people who buys a product from one brand and you don’t question the market itself. The rest of the world uses MP3 players, or PCs from Microsoft and from Bill Gates and from other brands too. So should I switch to another platform based on the personal preference of… YOU??. Or, like I do, choose my computer and personal things based on what I like, need, prefer, technical specifications, my budget, feed back, etc?.
You should wear what you write. But sure, you think first before you pick your clothes, because that’s why you are paid for.
And I don’t have an iPod but I know many who have one
