iPhone Marches East: As it went in America so it now goes in Germany: Germans lining up on sidewalks 350-people long and four hours deep to get their hands on what Time magazine’s declared “The Invention of the Year.” Soon to be followed by the U.K. Can nothing be done to stop this global marauding non-menace? Well, in regards to slowing the Apple rush, some seem to be trying to slow it down.

iPod, iMonopoly: A class-action suit? Yup. Frederick Black (no relation to Frank) of Florida filed on behalf of anyone in his fair state whom has suffered the ignominy of having music and media transfer restrictions strangulatin’ him in his use of the iPod and iTunes. Black’s asking for way more than $15,000…yup, a court order not only forcing Apple to pay out more than triple that amount, but also picking up attorney’s bills, costs, any and all other damages, and stuff related to Mr. Black’s desire to drive a luxury automobile. All the time. Perhaps he was just heeding Michael Eisner's call.

When Eisners Attack: Eisner to America’s striking writers: it’s STEVE!!! IT’S STEVE’S FAULT!!! Eisner’s contention is that Jobs and Apple are mugging major studios with iTunes and not spreading the wealth from said mugging. Robbie thinks he's high. Well, we don't know about that but might we suggest...another LAWSUIT?

Another lawsuit: Burst.com’s won a partial victory in their effort to move ahead with a suit based on Apple’s alleged iPod patent infringement. The patents, for receiving, transmitting and storing video and audio files, convinced a judge in a $60 mil case against Microsoft. In the case against Apple, however, it now moves to the appeal, trial or out-of-court settlement phase.

But has no one yet sued for this: the still-freezing iMacs?

And finally this: It is official, despite all the iTunes hubbub, bub: music is worthless.
