But Peter, I can't wait to hear what you say after using it. I think when you see how it works, you will realize Apple has delivered something nobody else could. Just because you are a good teacher with a video camera, doesn't mean you can make a compelling education product. This one is really different. Well, at least it feels sufficiently sophisticated that I doubt you'll see anything like this for a very long time. Its interesting to speculate, or write about the merits or pluses or minuses.

Hrm... I wonder what are the terms of use for those. It sounds like a really easy way to get great source material for song remixes, but I doubt the record companies are going to be very happy about that. From the article:

Like I said, it could get addressed in future content. But we sure have enough familiar faces in music in the spotlight, truly. (I mentioned Classical Music, as well, so I think you weren't reading carefully...) @Waldo: That’s not alleging racism; it’s asking for some variety.

It is truly low class to allege racism when you really know NOTHING about how Apple came to the current artist line-up. Especially when Apple is well know for supporting progressive causes. Excuse me, I have to go throw away your book now. Peter,

These are limited to GarageBand '09 owners, which for the artist needlessly limits sales. There's no reason you couldn't create a similar offering that was open to everyone.
