I remember when they first opened their store with the $6.99 subscription price point, Apple higher-ups were taking bets on how long Yahoo could last with that. So Yahoo today went up to $11.99 per month. hahaha

    Mr. Jobs also cast doubt on Yahoo Inc.'s announcement of a $60-per-year music subscription plan, saying that price point was "substantially" below Yahoo's costs and would be raised. Mr. Jobs then claimed Apple employees had a betting pool on when Yahoo would raise the $5-a-month rate, with Mr. Jobs putting his money on five months.

    No way. Jobs made himself a little bit (or perhaps a lot?) richer.

    No surprises here. Yahoo got some peoples money for a few months. Now they'll get the nano and life will be all better.
