On today’s commentary, Gene “Mac Night Owl” Steinberg says that “Apple begins to succumb to entertainment industry demands.”
“When the iTunes Music Store (that’s before they added movies and TV shows) first appeared, the pricing structure was absolutely rigid,” he says. “Steve Jobs, they said, was obsessive about simplicity, witness the fairly limited Mac lineup since he took over Apple. So it would be now and forever 99 cents per song. When TV shows were added, it was $1.99 per episode.”
