About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Tuesday, June 08, 2004Jobs Says Apple Won't Raise iTunes PricesWSJ (paid subscription required): "Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said the company won't raise prices on iTunes songs and showed off a new product designed to let users easily beam digital music from a central computer to stereos in other rooms.Mr. Jobs, in a session at the D conference, said Apple plans to sell the new AirPort Express mobile base station, priced at $129 for Macs and Windows computers, starting next month. It comes with a USB port to add networked printers, as well as ethernet and audio outputs. Software called AirTunes will help users configure the system and switch music from one room to another. From a central computer, the music can only be beamed to one computer at a time, Mr. Jobs said. On other topics, Mr. Jobs said that while the Mac doesn't face the same security problems as Windows-based computers, which face an onslaught of virus and other threats, the company has no plans to market the Mac as a safer computer for users. That would be like waving a 'red flag' in front of malicious code writers, he said. On music prices, he said that Apple won't raise prices, adding, 'we don't think the consumer wants to pay more than 99 cents.'" [ Posted at 10:56 AM | Permalink ]
