I’ve had to go back and fix at least some small thing on each and every comic so far. Its due to finishing these up at midnight the night before they go up.

I'm not saying Apple should have a monopoly on digital content distribution and hardware to play said content. I just don't think anyone else is competing on the same level at this point. The iPod is a nearly perfect device and no other manufacturer has come close to its style and simplicity. ITMS is basically the model for how digital content should be distributed (other than the DRM which isnt Apple's fault). Apple makes an iPod, MS makes a Zune. Apple has iTunes and Universal has Hulu. Why is there a trend among Apple competitors to name products to sound like Aboriginal tribes. If Dell makes a competitor for the Mac they should call it the Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. @crlake

So will MTV and Paramount. Who are they kidding? They are months away from hulu.com being up and running. Add another year or two for the dust to settle, so people can find them, and 2 more years for people to TRUST them. All the while, they WON'T be selling shows on iTunes, a WELL KNOWN AND TRUSTED SITE that's been up for years. (Apple has been around for 30 years, hulu has been around for 5 minutes -- who are YOU going to trust with your money?) This is a disaster in the making, and they are going to lose millions. And when they DO COME BACK to iTunes -- we, the online community, will be there to RUB IT IN THERE FACES, and constantly remind them at every opportunity, of how stupid (and greedy) they all were for leaving in the first place.
