iThings

I’m not going to lie, I was slightly disappointed with the article that followed such a dramatic title – "NBC executive slams Apple for "killing music industry"". I was expecting something a little more juicy and exciting, and well, even just more informative. I’m really not even sure how to comment on this, or what my opinion is quite frankly. What I’ll say is this – I agree with the author in that "Until iTunes came along, the major record labels were adrift in the digital wilderness, watching CD sales plummet and an entire generation become addicted to illegal downloading […]". I, personally, have not bought an actual CD in probably 5 years and Limewire has pretty well become my only link to the outside world of music. I will also admit to the fact that, after a couple of years of resisting social conformity, I too, like that vast majority of red-blooded North American citizens, have bought an iPod…and accessories to match.
I think that there has been an ‘Apple-Mac-iPod-iPhone-iTunes-iWhatever’ revolution and to be quite honest, the iCurrent is just too strong to swim up against. So my message to you, NBC, is to just go with the flow and pick yourself a nice sweet and ripe Apple…
