Movies for purchase in itunes…and then?

http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/18/lions-gate-ceo-confirms-itunes-movie-downloads/

Movies on iTunes, I was so totally right last year.

Oh come on, you knew they had to do it. Just as there are apparently people who will spend $2 on music videos, I’m sure there are people willing to shell out the big bucks for renting movies on their ipods.

Every week we hear about new contracts for TV shows to be made available for purchase in the iTunes music store, and every time I flip open a magazine I see an ad telling me to download a new show’s pilot episode for free from iTunes. It will be interesting to see their method of DRM as well as their price point for the movies, but my general reaction to this is “Why took you so long?”.

To quote an old drive thru lady: …and then?

touch screen ipod, just how bad can a good idea turn?

And to some a touch screen ipod is a good idea?

boooooooooo0000000.

Cause I know I want to be walking down the street poking at my ipod with a little stick. Seriously, it better have a more manly stylus than, I don’t know, everything other known touch screen device in the world.

Meanwhile, some engineering folks over at one of the many wondrous Circuit City stores decided to violate the crap out of our equally wondrous copyright laws.  I hope they don’t get fired on the grounds that someone that stupid should be given a pat on the back for surviving long enough to be employable.
