Apple is paying a Signapore company $100 million dollars for using their piece without permission. Apple has finally agreed to this after 5 lawsuits being filed against them. Apple is also letting them be apart of the "Made for iPod'' program, where companies are allowed to build accessories for the iPod and other Apple items.

AOL is going to release movies on the internet so people can download them. They say they are going to be selling the downloads in a range from $9.99 to $19.99. In my opinion i really dont think this is a good idea because i know for a fact there are going to be people that are going to be able to hack the system and download for free, and post them up on Lime wire and Ares and such.
