Considering Valve had job openings for hardware developers, maybe Cook is looking for a new hobby? The iPippin?

"A noted French designer isn't working on a project for Apple..."

Touch wood and hope he isn't! OK, I know that's just a personal therefore (possibly) subjective opinion.

When does the DOJ go after Apple for trying to "fix" the number of TV shows a service can claim by only counting the titles themselves and not each individual episode. This could severely limit Amazon's marketing efforts and ultimately impact consumers.

I think Dan's confusing a Series with a Show. If one can count a 30 minute Peanuts special as a show, then an hour long episode of Parenthood counts too.

Yeah, it can be confusing, "Fringe is a great show" , "Did you watch last night's show (rather than episode, which I prefer)"
I think of a series as one with limited chapters/episodes, as in any of Ken Burns' productions, or the Sherlock Holmes on PBS, (not counting those that are limited because they got cancelled :rolleyes:

) in other words they're not a continuing production, series?! <_<

If it is a Big Thing, what advantage is there to releasing it as a "pre-cast" rumor/tidbit now?

Does it do ANYTHING other than stroke Starck's ego?

Who benefits from this information?
