Rip off!  How can they not have stuff like the beatles?!?!?

Certain artists like John Lennon are not available. What a gyp! Why would I want to use this service? How can I get around this?

Actually, Michael Jackson and Sony both own a share of the beatles catalog. Jackson did purchase the catalog back in the early 1980s, but when he went into debt some years ago, he leveraged a percentage of his stake against his debt, effectively giving Sony the power over that part of the catalog (as we know, this guy is always in debt).
What Sony really wants is to buy-out the remaining part of the catalog, which would get Jackson out of debt and back on easy street, but Jackson doesn't want to part with it, he feels it "has special meaning".
This has to be the only billionaire I know that is always in debt (well maybe Trump too). This guy had everything in the 1980s, and he let it slip away on account of his fascination with little boys.
The odd question I have is why couldn't McCartney and Ono put aside their differences early on and buy the catalog. They were in talks, but for some reason the talks broke down, who knows the whole truth. It would actually be nice for one of the actual band members to own their own music. What a change that would be.
Slowly, Apple Corps has regained their presence in control of the Beatles name, after starting out for a decade (or two) not really doing anything. Now they make tens of millions (maybe more) each year off the Beatles. This money should go into a fund to try to regain the rights to those songs.
Sony doesn't really like Apple, that's no secret. So if they ever do gain control of all the Beatles stuff, I think they will make it hard on our Apple to get those songs, and probably they won't be $0.99, I can almost bet on that.
I'd like to shove a rootkit up someones * at Sony!

  • How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

    OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
    Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

  • How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd?

    How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd hands on labs? with all the NW products install on it.

    Hi,
    Vague question, but to create a laptop with the solution installed - you need to order the solution and and then install it on the laptop. Or download trial versions from SCN and install those as well.

    when trying to take the sticky off the back of the card all the code has come off. I do have receipt for it as i bought in a supermarket today, how can i redeem this itunes card now, as i paid 25pds.

    See this support article:

    If you can't get the card to work after perusing that page, as will obviously not be possible if the code has come completely off, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
    Regards.

  • How can I do a layout like the example?

    I've tried to use different layout managers but I couldn't design a layout like the example.
    Can anybody help me?
    Many thanks.
    Example:
    http://www.geocities.com/apgavieiro
    and then to select english and layout.

    please post your code then it's easier .. when I'm remembering correctly, then you have to make a new GridbagLayout...
    in this way ( or similar)
    super.setLayout(new Gridbaglayout(int, int));
    I don't use it, because I like to have the exact coordinates and the size....
    but you have to be carefull, where to put your add();... this is very important for how the program shows you all...

  • How can I NOT have to login and write password when I want to download apps?

    Help---I wish I could have my phone save the login and password when I download apps?

    At the moment it's not possible, currently (depending upon what version of iOS that your have on your phone) you can have it always asked for or not be asked for it for 15 minutes after entering it : Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password (if you don't have that option then it will be 15 minutes).
    You can try leaving feedback for Apple via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • How can I NOT have my outgoing emails accumulate on gmail?

    I'm using Thunderbird with gmail via POP3, not IMAP. I want to just grab the emails, download them to my PC, and delete them from gmail. That part works great. But with both TB and my previous Outlook 2000, my outgoing emails end up staying on the gmail server. I see no control in TB nor on the gmail site to say "delete outgoing emails after sending" like is done when receiving.
    Is this just the nature of email systems?
    So every couple months I log onto gmail manually, and delete all of them. I just don't like my emails being available to a hacker.
    Are there any settings to accomplish this?
    Thanks.

    You're right, for a POP account, the option "Place a Copy in:" in TB, under Account Settings/Copies and Folders would only enable/disable local copies to the Sent folder. If you want local copies, leave it checked.
    To control the setting for copies to the Sent folder on the server, login to your Gmail account via browser, and look for an option to disable it there.
    The 'Other' option in TB can be used to chose another account's Sent folder, e.g. underneath 'Local Folders'.

  • If my tool, navigation, and other bars are all off, how can they be turned back on?

    my navigation bar was disabled via a right click to make more space on the screen. Now I cannot retrieve it or any other toolbars. I cannot navigate the web, nor look into any bookmarks, files, tools, anything and no ammount of "options" tinkering is helping. what should I do so that I can freely browse again?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT+ V T M on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    If you missing specific icons (ex. The back arrow,) try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why can we not have subdomains on the new tab page any more?

    With the latest update to the new tab page they removed the ability to go to have subdomains. For example I can't have abc.com/news, abc.com/sports, abc.com/weather or something similar all up there, I can only go to abc.com

    hello pinkycatcher, you can drag any items from your bookmarks or history onto the default new tab page in firefox. this works for any url including subdomains...

  • HT201071 How can Apple NOT update compatibility for the Nikon D4S??

    Man, this is such a let down.  I'm working with this camera every day and it's such a pain to have to either convert to DNG or shoot JPEG.  C'mon Apple...

    You should let them know here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I did that for my Canon and 2 months later, there was an update for RAW support.
    FWIW, the D4 is on the list (and so is a D3s, so it should definitely help to submit feedback)
