How many songs have they sold at a 30% cut from the music store again? I can't find anything right now to back this up, but my gut feeling is that they make a _lot_ of money from the software side, and they're going to keep pushing that be

Will we start to see attempts to ban "old" and insecure wireless routers? If your router only does WEP then you're open to this kind of attack, and no amount of configuring it will fix it...
