Before I comment, how the hell does this hurt the consumers? Apple is protecting consumers from being having to pay $5 for 20 min--$120 for 24 episodes compared to $30 for the DVDs. NBC is hurting the consumers.

Anyways, talk about owned.

Apple just handily bested NBC Universal. Not only does NBC look like complete assholes for wanting three times wholesale, but now NBC's fall season has taken a huge setback. Shows like The Office and Heroes were popularized by (at least in part) by iTunes. Given that NBC is launching significantly more shows than usual this upcoming season, Apple just hit NBC right where it hurts. NBC was hoping they could take advantage of their shows being available on iTunes through December to build audiences for their new programming, but now NBC is left out to dry. NBC's fall programming builds on the success of shows like The Office and Heroes targeting a similar audience. Without iTunes, NBC stands to suffer greatly this fall.

Well played, Apple. Well played.

This isn't a solution to prevent mail sent from the GMail web-client from appearing in the iPhone Mail inbox. I'm not even certain this accomplishes anything with respect to sent mail...

Yes! Thank you for calling the "news-o-sphere" out on this bullshit. We've seen so many patents that have lead to nothing. There's no reason to believe that this one will be any different. Not to mention, the idea of a click-wheel phone sounds hilariously bad and inelegant--definitely not Apple's M.O.

Would be great if there was something like this for Google's services instead...
