Their ability to perform the inconcievably stupid is just as likely as any other company to do the same.

Come to think about it, I can't think of one computer manufacturer period that hasn't pulled a "D'oh!" moment in retrospect.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13622190 Thu, 09 Jun 2005 23:36:24 EDT Re: The Apple rumor http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13617589 AbBaZaBbA :

Yes and there is the rumor about Apple using this chip to make the RIAA hate Ipod less then it does now. I'll say it again if Apple does this the Apple Computer it DEAD! I would love to be able to load a standard PC with OS-10 to me that is the fundamental mistake Apple made if they had gone for software instead of hardware how different things would be today.
apple's not stuipd. They'd never willingly do this.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13617589 Thu, 09 Jun 2005 13:34:24 EDT Re: The Apple rumor http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13617495 SRFireside : I don't believe that rumor. iTunes is not a money maker for Apple. More like a launching platform for their iPods. The RIAA can't do squat about mp3 players because there is nothing illegal about them whatsoever so I don't think Apple is bowing to such demands. Rather they would be laughing at them.

Certainly there is something going on to make the change. I just don't think the link is the record industry. As you said... that would be much too stupid a reason. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13617495 Thu, 09 Jun 2005 13:21:27 EDT The Apple rumor http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13617476 Transmaster : Yes and there is the rumor about Apple using this chip to make the RIAA hate Ipod less then it does now.
