Apple Plays Nice, Announces New iMac
Early; Details Slim 07/02/2004 08:20 AM

Apple has announced that new iMacs are in the pipe, this time using G5 processor and a completely new redesign. Rumors indicate the new design, which will be unveiled in September, will shove most of the logic hardware behind the flat panel display. As usual, we welcome any insight or pictures or stolen plans from Steve Jobs's nightstand.

And against form, this information comes from Apple themselves, who made an announcement on their website detailing that the existing stock of iMacs would not be replenished, and that plans to push out new units had slipped behind. It's a commendable move, and one Apple should be applauded for taking. Likely, Apple had planned to announce the new iMac at WWDC, but was unsure about unit production. MacMinute adds the tidbit that Jobs may have dropped a clue at WWDC when he used the search terms "iMac" and "Paris" to demonstrate new search technology. Apple Expo is scheduled this September in Paris.

iTunes User Sues Apple Over DRM

iTunes User Sues Apple Over DRM 01/06/2005 09:19 AM
Reuters is reporting that an angry iTunes customer is suing Apple, claiming that he is forced to buy an iPod if he wants to listen to his music on the move. Thomas Slattery, from California, filed the lawsuit for unspecified damages over the inclusion of Apple's "Fairplay" Digital Rights Management system in tracks bought over iTunes. "Fairplay" encodes files in the AAC format, and downloaded songs cannot be transferred to MP3 players - except Apple's own iPod.

The suit alleges Apple has broken anti-trust laws by only allowing its songs to be played on its own player. The majority of MP3 players support rival Microsoft's WMA format which also has DRM. The WMA standard is also used by most online music stores, including Napster. Apple is believed to hold as much as 87% of the digital music player market, with more than six million iPods now sold.

It alleges that "Apple has turned an open and interactive standard into an artifice that prevents consumers from using the portable hard drive digital music player of their choice, even where players exist that would otherwise be able to play these music files absent Apple's actions". Mr Slattery described himself as an iTunes customer who "was also forced to purchase an Apple iPod" if he wanted to take the music he had bought with him.

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting

iTunes User Sues Apple For Only Letting
Music Play On The iPod 01/05/2005 10:30 PM
Well, this should be interesting. An "unhappy" iTunes user is now suing Apple for antitrust violations, claiming that they broke antitrust laws by only allowing their music to play on iPods -- blocking out other music players from the market. It's unlikely that he'll win the lawsuit, and honestly, it sounds more like a setup by an Apple competitor than just some individual who feels wronged. The guy in question says he was "forced" to buy an iPod in order to make use of the music he bought on iTunes, but the courts will likely point out that he could have gone to a competing online music store. Of course, what this really highlights is how some of these copy protection issues are building fragmented worlds. How would people react if the CDs they bought at Tower Records could only play on Tower-branded radios? Thanks to the way the industry views intellectual property online, the end result is a lot of competing separate worlds, which actively discourages use.
