To put it simply ... you left out the fact that the million downloads took place in 48 hours .... just so you could seemingly "back up " your opinion.

Like I have said, if you look at the raw numbers, then yes, it could seem impressive. 1 million users in 24 hours is high, but the fact that you want to ignore is, as a percentage of iTunes users, it is low.

That's a pretty big assumption, there are a number of iTunes users that are not running iTunes 9, let alone going to upgrade to 10.

Huh? Their event is the event. A press release was given 2 days after the September 1st event. Did I miss something? :scratching head:
Quote:
The Cupertino, Calif., company issued a press release to announce the good news. "One-third of the people who have downloaded iTunes 10 have joined Ping," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of Internet Services. Cue expects the service to continue growing in coming weeks as more people download iTunes 10.

I thought you were referring to the event they held, not some press release. I don't sit around waiting on Apple to make an annoucement about something, so I didn't know they make a "press release"

Ok, since it was a press release, press releases are a marketing tool, you use numbers that make you look good, you don't use numbers that make you look bad. For this example, this is why they used the 1 million number, and not 0.6% of our users. Now since you are the big man always going on about comprehension, do you understand this?

The thread is about the press release. It's in the first post. So it seems like you're really going out of your way to disputatious.

Apple announced that it pulled a million users in 48 hours, which is pretty good for a new service. That's a bone standard move, any business would have done exactly that.

The metric of ".6% of total users" is entirely yours, I guess cause it bugs you that Apple might do well? The idea that Apple, or anyone, would ever couch sales in those terms is absurd. The idea that they only did so for "marketing" reasons because of a "press release" (as opposed to what? Financial reporting where companies strive to find the worst possible context within which to describe their business? Maybe Apple should start reporting iPad sales a percentage of the total population of earth?) is insulting to the intelligence of every person on these boards. So again, it seems like you're really reaching just to have something to be negative about.

That's the beauty of having such a well-implemented subscription service as the ZUNE Pass, something that would severely impact Apple's current - 'you buy'... 'you don't like'... 'Too Bad, We've Already Got Our Money' - iTunes paradigm/scheme.

Maybe someday Apple will see fit to 'invent' an iPass (or some other Zune Pass competitor) for the iTunes store...

Who Knows

You sir, have utterly missed the point. The Zune and M$ lost the digital music war a long time ago. For all your criticism of the iTunes pay per song approach, it's the most successful digital store in the world--by far.

And no, 10 free songs a month don't "reduce" the subscription cost to $4.99. It's $14.99. Don't play games.

The thing is that you ignore reality. If there was a large demand for a subscription model, that is what Apple would have gone with. They found what most of us already know: On the whole, people want to own their music.
You may think that Zune model is great, but apparently most of the world doesn't.

Sonic Youth is unlikely to yield significant profits for Apple. They will not be invited anytime soon.

Apple customers will get Lady GaGa, Britney Spears et. al. long before they get anything like Sonic Youth or Black Flag or any other high-quality, important, but low-selling artist.

Ya think Willie Dixon will be invited anytime soon? He don't sell shit for Apple.

They will not care about important seminal artists so long as the current pop artists remain in need of promotion.

There is now no way of listing all artists on Ping, as far as I can tell. previously I had been entering an asterisk (*) to list all the artists. This no longer works.

Apple, apparently, has actively removed wildcard searches for artists, presumably to keep people from listing all artists. Obviously they are ashamed of how few artists are actually there right now.

For example, if I earned .0000000000000001% of the money that Apple does, I'd be a huge success, but Apple would be a huge failure if they only took in that amount.

I don't often listen to top 10 music, just like I rarely watch any of the top 10 sitcoms on TV or go to see the top 10 screwball comedies in the movie theater.

IMO, the top 10 of anything, ranked by what the unwashed masses enjoy, is rarely of interest. (May exceptions exist, however.)

Judging solely by the number of posts discussing Zune, it strikes me that many, many posters care very much what Zune has or does.

Otherwise, nobody would be discussing it.

Indifference is not generally displayed by people posting opinions.

Yeah!

Like Wall Street is so important compared with the real economy?

Itunes sells also improvisation music.
Only the Masses the same that buy Android and Windows like cookies are the same who buy pop music.
So go trash them.
Oh, we are talking itunes here!


If i remember Bob Dylan is a pop (popular) composer, the now classical music was molded on popular/folk music and tales.

Apple failure will give you This much pleasure?
Isn't that sick!

Apple is a corporation NOT a singular person.

Why fight apple that is So tiny?
Can Apple really influence the world in any order?

Microsoft in in bed com government all over the world, No one sees Microsoft as a Devil. Apple cannot even influence BBC to use HTML5. And apple is the Devil!

If the Devil is so tiny and powerless why people fear?

One topic is what is important to forum participants. It is quite obvious that people here care a lot about Android.

Another topic is what brands are important in the global computer business. Different subject matter completely.

And because of that, it is not surprising that different factors are useful to evaluate the situation.

The types of electronics that are popular do not affect my opinions of pop music.

They are nothing alike.

I don't begrudge anybody the stuff that they enjoy, but neither do I let popularity affect my decisions.

Legally Deposition can be defined as out of court recorded sworn testimony of a witness before the trial and without a judge for discovery purposes, which can also be used in the court. The witness is put under the oath and both lawyers from each party records the questions and answers. Thus, if the witness is not present during the trial, his deposition can be used for testimony. In a way, deposition can be described as discovery purpose (fact-finding) or part of the pre-trial discovery process.
The process of Deposition can be summed up as follows:

The witness sworn in or take an oath to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

The deposition can me recorded before any chancellor, justice, or judge of a supreme or superior court, mayor, or chief magistrate of a city, or judge of a county court or court of common pleas of any of the United States, not being of counsel or attorney to either of the parties, or interested in the event of the cause.

Do you understand how few people post here, compared to number of people who buy consumer electronics?

And the statement wasn't that many posters were inclined to buy a Zune, but rather, that many posters were interested in discussing it.

Me, personally, I wouldn't buy a Zune. Or an iPod. But I found many of the other posters comments about the Zune to be quite interesting, especially in regard to the advantages and disadvantages of Zune compared to Apple's stuff.

Maybe I should just ignore more of these types of responses. I really try to just let the nasty ones go, but the ones which respond with nonsense are harder for me.

In comparison to the iPodwhich has sold more than 100 million units since its launch in 2001the Zune has yet to make a dent in the digital music marketplace, with sales of the original 30 GB unit estimated to be near 1.2 milion units. But Microsoft has always said its in the portable media player business for the long haul, and the new Zune models and features may (incrementally) win it some fans.

I haven't ignored that, I think you will find that several times now I have said if you look at that 1 million figure it looks quite impressive, but again, you seem to ignore this. I understand what you are saying, you are ignoring what I am saying, if you don't want to, or don't have the ability of understanding what I am saying, then stop commenting.

Actually, if you do a search on that phrase, you will find it is used in the UK as well. In saying that, I neither live in the USA, or the UK. So as I correctly said, that phrase has no importance to me at all. And that fact you provided me with a US link for a comment I said isn't relevant in the country I live in shows you don't understand things, or don't want to understand things.

Surely you must be in some facet of the Canadian farming industry because your ability to build STRAWMEN (albeit poorly constructed ones) is without peer.

Note: The link was posted in refutation of your asinine claim that ZUNE was not a 'pioneer' in the integration of music media and social networking, as proven by the F A C T that said feature has been an integral part of the Zune ecosystem since 2007, not any ridiculously tired Argumentum Ad Populum/Bandwagon Fallacy based upon some rabid fanaticism.

Why would telling the truth be of any importance to you anyhow .... mmmm?

I didn't say that, I said the legal phrase you presented doesn't mean anything to me as we don't say that phrase in legal situations here. Do you understand this now?

Yes, we all know now that you didn't read the topic before commenting, like I suspected from the beginning. Thank you for confirming. Wouldn't want to waste your time to post negative comments, would you?

That is really rich coming from someone who don't even understand the topic fully before commenting.
