Sony and Apple sitting in a tree...

K-I-S-S-I-N-G...

Well, now that I've gone and embedded that childhood song in your heads for the rest of the day, I thought I'd distract your growing anger with me with a quick redirect to the current juicy bit of gossip goodness floating about on the Internets: Sony and Apple were supposedly in talks to create a hybrid Apple/Sony iTunes Music Store. This would follow along with other stories of Sony and Apple collaboration, but in a new exciting, and legally tense area where I wouldn't have imagined it happening.

Unfortunately for us all, Sony wasn't really interested in anything serious. They were just up in the tree and felt moved by the moment. So here we are, left with two different music stores, both plagued by that nasty little STD: DRM.
