ITGumbo: spicing IT up

Say goodbye to watching iPod Heros on your subway commute. NBC and Apple, after failing to reach an agreement over television episode pricing on iTunes, have now gone off to sulk in their respective corners. Apple issued this statement today, saying it would not bear NBC extortion of its customers at $4.99 per episode. Says Eddy Cue iTune's VP: “We hope they will change their minds and offer their TV shows to the tens of millions of iTunes customers.” Or in English: "Fine! We just won't play! And you guys'll lose all your market share in the digital entertainment space. Na na na na na." This comic pretty much sums up the thinking of the rest of the internet.
