Starting sometime in May Apple will offer a large portion of it’s iTunes music store catalog at higher quality and WITH NO DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT for an additional 30¢ per song. That’s right for $1.29 per song you can get a 256kbps AAC file (that would mean more than just iPods could play in the iTunes Music Store) with no strings attached! No news on a full album price but it will be interesting to see how they price’em. Read the full article here.
Something tells me that May will also bring the next Apple OS.
In other Apple news related to me — I ordered an Apple Airport Extreme last week which should arrive in the next few days. I’m anxious to play around with the speed of the 802.11n and not care about the range of our router ever again, plus utilize an apple interface for my router (both Monique’s new iMac and my new work MacBook Pro have 802.11n built in). I’ve not many complaints about the Netgear router I’ve had for years, but it’s losing steam lately and the control panel blows.

“I’ve walked around with a piece of sliced ham in my pants for the last couple of days, just to have my own secret.” - Peyton Manning on Saturday Night Live last night. Peyton did a great job, the show was probably my favorite that I’ve seen this season. Highlights for fans of #18 were his monologue and the United Way Commercial.

Holy cow. Tonight we went and saw what is arguably our favorite band, Guster, perform a free show at The Grove in LA. What’s even better is we were right against the stage, and we got to MEET them afterwards and get some autographs! I felt like a teenage girl again! They’re dreamy. *sigh*
When we met them after the show, I told them that this was our third time seeing them and I’ve yet to hear my favorite song, Careful. Brian, the drummer said that he had it on the playlist and Ryan, the lead singer took it off at the last second! DOH! So close. Guess I’ll have to keep going to their shows until I hear it. Darn.
