What is the biggest thing in this list. No, not the new iMac, not the new video iPod. It is not the music videos available to buy, but that is close….
You can now buy TV Shows!!!
Apple has just eliminated the need for cable and satellite TV, just get them for the internet access then buy the few show you actually watch, and you no longer need to buy the DVD box sets… just burn your own — Jobs you are genius.
Note to self…. don’t buy the stock yet… it will fall some more before bouncing up.
