Mix: iTunes Japan, Jobs, Video praise, Xbox 360, Zeitgeist
Apple’s Japanese iTunes Music Store has added new content from Victor Entertainment. The record label offers 18 albums totalling 209 tracks of mainly Japanese domestic artists.
USA Today tech columnist Kevin Maney says that 2006 could be the year Apple CEO Steve Jobs finally “falls off his pedestal.”
“The new iPod is its own little addictive medium,â€? writes David Carr for the New York Times. “Its limitations—a viewing experience that requires headphones and a hand-held screen—create a level of intimacy that arcs to television in its infancy, when the glowing object was so marvelous it begat silent reverie.â€?
Engadget has posted the first part of an article on how to add an iPod dock to an Xbox 360.
The iPod dominates the top Froogle searches in Google’s year-end Zeitgeist. Of the top 10 most searched for products, there are four iPod models, including the No. 1 spot.

On the contrary, I think 2006 will raise Steve Jobs into the limelight even more…perhaps even to the level it was in the Apple ][ days.

...so much for maintaining a scrap of objectivity. “I don’t like Steve Jobs. How can I sneak it into a column without actually looking like a four year old? hmmm…”

Didn’t people say Jobs would fall off his pedestal when he introduced the new ipod? Didn’t people predict apple going under when he introduced. Same with every new ipod he has introduced…..

What the hell does Maney know, anyway? Microsoft getting its groove back? Microsoft is LAZY. Their operating system has more flaws than ANY OTHER. They want to start improving their image they should start THERE.
