Re: Apple dominates online music

Don't know about the rest of you, but I use www.emusic.com for buying music on-line seeing there's no iTunes Music Store Australia. Costs me about ~35c a song, large range of music, good quality VBR mp3 encoding (compared to the crap you get on p2p networks), well thought out search utils and M

Re: Is it just me, or does Apple seem to let golden opportunities slip by?

Remember all the better technologies that have disappeared in the past, because no one really spoke up? Beta seems to spring to mind! Beta was adopted by the professional video industry and it (or its successor DigiBeta) is in use by most professional video production in the world. Did they
