... assuming their announced hiatus is final (assumption, not fact)
From today's NYTimes, by Claudia H. Deutsch:
"It may well have been the best 99 cents Alex Ostrovsky ever spent.
Early yesterday, he paid that amount to download "Speed of Sound," a song on the Coldplay album "X&Y," from the iTunes Music Store...He did not know it, but it was the billionth song the site had sold, and Apple was not about to let that go unnoticed.
So at 12:45 a.m., Mr. Ostrovsky's phone rang. It was an Apple employee, telling him that in addition to the song, Apple was giving him a 20-inch iMac, 10 iPods and a $10,000 gift card for the iTunes store. It is even establishing a scholarship at the Juilliard School in his name".
Yes, yes, I know it's courtesy of Apple computers, not Coldplay. But let's be poetic and assume it all came from Gwyneth's daughter, shall we?
Ostrovsky is 16. Before you know it, he will be one of us, crazy bloggers, iPodders, iTuners, SteveJobbers. Maybe I should save him. Yes, I think I will administer his new properties until he's old enough to enjoy them safely, say, for a couple of years...?

did you know that they made an updated announcement that they're not really going away away? or something like that.
first of all, why can't it be a message from the other musical apple? oh wait, i just love apples and have no controlling stock in the company. ok, be poetic then about gwyneth's firstborn.
