Apple to charge for some iApps
« on: 4 January 2003, 07:41 »
Apple may start charging up to $50 for iDVD (Previously $20), iMovie, and iPhoto.

I don't use those so it's no big loss to me!

If iTunes goes payware, I'm switching to MacAmp.

I had to comment on this agian. Apple is getting fucked up, considering that the iApps are a major reason OS X is sooo damn good!

They will be sucking the life out of their system. A very Microsofty move by apple, shame on them. People should send in some complaint letters!

Thats fooked up. It seems like a backwards ass way to sell computers. I sure as hell will not be paying for any upgrades to these apps. I do use iTunes & iPhoto, but im sure i could find alternatives if i have to. Fucked up.

I can tell that I switched not a moment too soon. Right in the middle of the OS X conversion, and in the middle of a slump that's strangling them!

To arms! To arms!

If Apple goes down I think I'll change my name to Fladius and become omish.

I think this is just an evil rumour. Why should Apple do something like this on the very threshold to big success?

Audion for me, but I will miss iTunes' cool music database system. Reminds me a lot of SoundJam MP, a great product which they killed and gutted to make iTunes in the first place.

NOTHING can be worse than Apple's situation in 1996. They'll survive. Too many people care too much about the platform.
That said, iTunes is the only iApp I'd pay for, mainly because of its awesome MP3 organization tools and its AppleScript functionality.
For instance, when I'm browsing forums, I just hit a key combo (control+right) and Applescript switches to iTunes, plays the next track after a dialog box pops up for 2 seconds showing artist, track, and album, then immediately switches back to Chimera.
I love it.
WinAmp on my PC seems like such a dinosaur by comparison.
