NEW YORK, April 20 (Reuters) - When Apple sits for contract negotiations with the major record companies over the next month, it will probably seek further concessions from them on selling music without copy-protection software.
AppleInsider | Target stores to pick up Apple TV:
Big-box retailer Target is poised to become just the second third-party retailer to market Apple Inc.'s new Apple TV device at its brick-and-mortar retail stores, AppleInsider has learned.
Fortune | Inside China's PC frenzy:
While MP3 players are everywhere, and imitations of an Apple iPod Nano go for about $50 (a two gigabyte model with a larger screen than Apple (Charts, Fortune 500) offers), if you want the genuine article you'll get fleeced. For an 80 gigabyte black iPod like one Amazon sells for $330, one salesman quotes me a price of about $700. As for PCs, Apple's presence here is minimal.

Signs you've ready made it, No. 2,789,879 of a 3 million-part series: McDonald's teams up with "American Idol" and makes a toy based on you. Yes, iPod, you're on top. Starting tomorrow, little kids across the land (and probably a few Mac geeks) will dig into Happy Meals filled with "American Idol" toys, including a fake mp3 player that looks, shockingly, exactly like an iPod with the Idol logo on it. It can't be loaded with music, but it seems to have at least contain a tiny amount of music. Anyway, it beats a Dell Digital Jukebox.

News about Monday's Virginia Tech shooting has officially leaked into every other domain. How do I know? Well, the blogger at Habla Mierda has begun speculation that killer Cho Seung-Hui... might be a Mac user:
I was reading the article and found this line pretty interesting.
Among the materials are 23 QuickTime video files showing Cho talking directly to the camera, Capus said. He does not name anyone specifically, but he talks at length about religion and his hatred of the wealthy.
Quicktime Video? Talking directly to camera?
Let's check Apple's site real quick.
<snip>
<sigh>
I don't even know what to make of this. The guy over at Mierda is pretty juvenile about all this -- he wouldn't throw ethnic terms around casually otherwise -- but I don't think he's suggesting Mac use as playing a role in Cho's attack. Give it a rest, everyone. Sometimes, people just do horrible things, and we can't blame an external forces. A few dozen people are dead right now not because of gun control (or lack of it), video games, terrorism, video games, illegal immigration, conservatism or liberalism. They lost their lives because one very mentally ill individual chose to do something incredibly destructive.
