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?
Is Apple starting to 'cry wolf' a bit too much lately? :)
Funnily enough, I already forgot what day it was.

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.
Must be a cached version. The announcement was slated for 15.00 GMT, and it's right on the money.

#13This 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?
this was blown way out of proportion by apple, too. they had the big, ominous message on their front page, and it wasn't that different of a cryptic message than what they usually post up for other actual product announcements.

It's a reference to Beatles's[del][del][del] Paul McCartney's song "Another Day". And this is kind of a big deal as Beatles was one of the last really big top-tier bands that blocked every attempt to distribute their records online. They still cannot be streamed on Spotify but it's just a question of time now.
I feel that many people here don't really appreciate the importance of this. This is really the beginning of the end of the old ways of the music recording industry, and a new music recording industry is emerging right now. Very interesting times indeed for those of us who are working in this field or anyone who loves music.
And yes, it was Apple, not any of the major record labels or consumer electronics companies that has brought us this change.

#16This still doesn't explain why I haven't been able to add new applications to iTunes Connect for the past few days, until now. They seriously stopped that process for this?

#17I am at a loss for words. Mostly because they are bads ones and I don't like being negative.

#19I should have figured as much, but part of me was hoping it was something like the official release of iOS 4.2.
I figured it was November, and we already knew what the features were going to be, so no need for Jobs to give a presentation. I just couldn't figure out what would make it a day I'd never forget. I guess I'm still wondering what about this is something I'd never forget.

Has Apple ever made a major announcement via website update? I mean, it seemed kind of silly to expect major changes from this...
