Apple Announces Beatles Collection

For me at least the iTunes page is still showing the grandiose message "Tomorrow is just another day. That you will never forget." so I don't think this is the announcement. If it is, then someone got the big scoop on the story before the announcement was even made.

Edit: disregard this, I was wrong. I cleared the cache and now I'm seeing the Beatles announcement.

today's a day I won't forget? The day Apple announced yet another way to buy songs from the world's most popular band?

downvote me to hell, but: booooring! I was hoping for streaming :(

Gruber was right last night when he pointed out that it was never going to be anything that big else they'd be hosting a full event for it.

It's nice and a nice bit of PR for Apple but nothing more. It's not as if this is music that was unavailable, it's just music that was unavailable on iTunes. It was always going to happen sooner or later.

This was blown way out of proportion by the media. Did anyone really think Apple would introduce streaming without Steve Jobs doing a presentation on it?

Well, the announcement post got >100 upvotes, so I think it's appropriate that the follow-up gets to the front page (even if it's anticlimactic).
