I just tried to wait in line in Little Rock, AR, (At 2:00pm) and was the first one... They came out and told me that they had already presold all of the iPhones coming in today to their "premier customers!"

WTF? They will take my info (and payment, mind you) at 5:30 and ship it to me on Monday or Tuesday...

Ridiculous!

Definitely some hardcore drum and bass. Having just moved down south, I'm going to miss seeing it live... :(

When a genre has "bass" in the title, you know you need good headphones!

I'm in that situation... Walked in Target on Saturday morning, and they had a bunch of PS3 60GB... I didn't want a PS3, nor do I want it now, but I guessed I could sell it and make enough to buy a wii.

Now it turns out that they're selling on eBay for like a dollar over what I paid. I may end up just returning it to the store.

I think that the main reason I haven't been buying as much from the iTMS is because of the 128kbps compression. I haven't used that since my hard drive was smaller than 10GB. I would even be willing to pay more for the ability to get a higher bit rate.

The DRM sucks, and is easily avoidable, I think the problem is the sound quality on the small amount of music that I do like.

This would really make my christmahanakwanzakha.

Oblivion, booyah

The reason that this is violating an NDA is that they are using the original license on the software in order to make an end-run around the "First Sale Doctrine" of copyright. After a copyrightable work's owner sells it, they no longer have control over what is done. (For example, I buy a book, the copyright holder can't tell me to whom I can sell it, and I could rip it up or do whatever I want with it after I purchase it.)

By licensing the software, they are not "giving" you a copy of Leopard, but rather allowing you to use a copy of it. You can't give away more than the ownership interest you have (none, in this case).

The practical effect of this is that the person downloading a copy of the software does not have more rights than the person who originally had it, and the NDA would go with it, binding all the people after the first who had a copy.

Thus the employees would be covered by the NDA, and could be fired for it.

Additionally, the comments about "right to work" states are true, but slightly off. "Right to work" means that you can't have closed-shop unions. You are confusing that concept with "at-will employment," which means that the employer can fire you at any time for any reason, or you can quit at any time with no notice.

You're right, though. It's incredibly difficult to prove that you were fired for discriminatory reasons.

I know that the .99 song and 9.99 album is the standard, but how has it come that some albums are 11.99 or 12.99?

Also, what is the deal with partial albums with 23 tracks, and they leave off track 6 or something, so that you have to pay the .99 per song, rather than the cheaper album download. I've made it a point not to buy any where I can't buy the whole album, but it sucks that I can't get all of the music that I want because they are wanting to make an extra few dollars.
