It looks like Google News hasn't perfected the
irony filter yet. At least Forbes managed to take them in.
In a surprise move, Apple Computer announced Friday, April 1st, that it was licensing Microsoft's Windows Media platform for use with both the iTunes Music Store and the company's market-leading iPod music player.
"We've had a pretty good run so far, you'll have to admit," said Mr. Jobs, "but let's face it: This is Microsoft we're talking about. Everyone knows they get it right by the time version 3.0 rolls around, and it was only a matter of when before our time in the limelight of success was merely dust in the wind."
He continued, "Why take chances? This way we can keep our customers while letting Microsoft have all the headaches of managing customer expectations and problems. That stuff was killing our margins."
That's weird. I've managed to do one post including Steve Wozniak, and one including Steve Jobs, in sequence. I wonder if this is somehow connected to the iPod shuffle I got from the Easter bunny. Damn those subliminal messages!!!
