Bothered

Chatting to beebs this evening, I realised the word 'bothered' had dropped out of my vocab since moving home to Bournemouth. So I've made a mental note to drop it into conversation at least once a day. This fantastically expressive word must be preserved, nay spread.

Special will soon get his wish it seems with regards a Windows version of iTunes. Several reports of an Apple Event next Thursday point towards the roll out of the iTunes Music Store for Windows, complete with an iTunes port to Windows. This invitation seems to confirm it, and just like Panther, Apple has beaten it's promise of 'by the end of year'. If the success of the iTunes Store for Macs is anything to go by - even just within the US - the potential for market penetration is enormous. International rollouts are being held up by legal matters but I'm sure the US succes will encourage the Music Industry to get their collective arses in gear. The flexibility of Apple's digital rights management will please Windows users I'm sure who are locked into Microshaft DRM technology and all it's over-zealous protection. I just hope they can keep up with demand for iPods because sales are surely going to explode, and I want one as soon as I can afford one!

Oh yeah, at 5-a-side this evening we won, I scored 4 goals and it was a great run out! Makes up for the lack of Oldboys action this weekend again. :-(
