For consumers, Apple Inc. and Apple Corps’ litigation-ending agreement is a “non-event” for the consumer, says NPD Group entertainment industry analyst Russ Crupnick. But, he says it’s “almost certain” Apple Inc. will get Beatles for the iTunes. He tells MarketWatch’s Tracy Johnke that his only question is, when?

Really? It is “almost certain” that Beatles songs will be on the iTunes Store? This guy is a genius.
Wow, there’s a lot of ‘almost certain’ in this report.
Isn’t ‘almost certain’ a contradiction in terms? Way to cover your ass, Crupnick.
Who else thinks a Beatle’s iPod is in the works?

“I’m smellin’ a lot of ‘if’ comin’ off this plan.”
He tells MarketWatch’s Tracy Johnke that his only question is, when?
Anytime at all. It won’t be long. I’ve got a feeling. Tomorrow never knows!
“For consumers, Apple Inc. and Apple Corps’ litigation-ending agreement is a “non-event” for the consumer”
If you look in the dictionary under ‘redundant’ it says ‘see also, redundant’.

Will you be saying the same thing when Steve-o is forced to resign in view of a pending indictment and followup trial?
Sorry, I forgot my thorazine this morning.
I’m not really this way. Really, I’m not.
Sorry again, please forgive me.
That’s it, use my handle cause you got nothing to original add bozo.
Come out and play pussy-using Mac user and use your own name. Stop being a coward and hiding behind mine.
Welcome to the social, dipshit.
Oh, Yeah, Winston!
i did it again
Where’s the Britney Spears iPod?

Nothing to original add?
Way to type, flunkie. You really ARE a 14-year old PC-using tool.
My mother touches me.
uhmm can someone help me please???…my little wiener got stuck in this goats ass and well, uhmm….can you pull me out?
My daddy touches me in a bad place.
I like pie.
Get it?
Pie. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I onse new a Mac youser who kwoodn’t evin tipe ass good as me.
Wow, didn’t see this one coming.
This thread is hilarious.
I enjoy the smell of my own farts. Don’t you find that hilarious?
Why does my finger smell like the cat’s litter box?
Hehehe, we’re barely past that super exciting announcement that was to be made in a Super Bowl commercial last night, and here we are again cooking up another Beatles iPod.
UH OH gets it. Great stuff. Keep coming back.
The Beatles & iPod? Perfect. Two has-been losers who are made for each other. Just add the iPod lemmings and the circle is complete. The future belongs to Zune and up and coming acts including, but not limited to, K-Fed, Leif Garrett and the chick who got 4th place on American Idol a couple of years back. They all put those whats-their-face Liverpool dinosaurs to shame.
Face it, the Zune is more popular than Jesus.
Welcome to the Social.
I saw a guy getting on BART today. He had a brown Zune. The color is ugly and does resemble poop! It is the first time I have ever seen someone with a Zune. He was like a pebble on the iPod beach.
Oh, JEEEZUS! I JUST SQUIRTED MY ORANGE JULIUS ALL OVER THE MONITOR!
Try lighting a match to your farts….
Worst. Threads, Comments. Ever.
“…pussy-using Mac user…”
WHA? cantt typ lafink toooo har cnt brethe
And now leave me alone to my donuts and sniffing my own farts.
And now I’m off to power up my Zune. yippee.
“pussy-using Mac user”
Yes, I am but usually not at the same time. Forget the social.
More like I’m into a daily beef injection.

Wonders if the Zune factory is idle.
> Wonders if the Zune factory is idle.
You mean the Toshiba Gigabeat factory. The same answer. Yes it is…
The better question is, “Is the Zune landfill idle?”
I can’t help impersonating other people on this thread, it gives me a woody.
And I don’t mind my daddy touching me in a bad place, so there!
3 months is too short of an exclusive deal. it should be 1 year.
