Post-Napster World

After Napster became a popular hit out of no where...then they were sued and had to shut down.. not to worry they came back later but in that mean time other peer-to-peer music downloading didn't stop. Why is that? well because people like the fact that they could get music from the internet and burn it on to a cd and or a mp3 player and bring their music they like with them. It is nice to have all of your favorite songs on single cds and when you work out you can have the songs you want to listen to right there.. but anyway... many other downloads came out sites like KaZaA, Morpheus, and LimeWare. there are so many more these are just a few sites.. this is something that the public wants and they don't want to pay for it when it can be downloaded for free... as of right now peer-to-peer can not be stopped and people want the music they are gunna get the music..

Varian Paper

Question: Why is bundling such a great idea? Will it become more popular?

Well according to this paper bundling is refered to as the practice of selling two or more distinct goods together for a single price. I think an example of this would be i bought my notebook computer for so much and with the computer the company gave me a free printer. But here is the thing the printer wasn't a good one it was just a standard printer that would be needed for simply tasks such as prining off a school paper. so i think the target market was aimed towards students attending school and they offered the "FREE" printer as a bundle to make it sound like i was getting a better deal. So in this instance bundeling is a good idea its a selling tactic to make the product sound better than just getting the computer. I don't know if many companies can just give free things away when sellin products but the example in the paper about the word processor and the spreadsheet is also a good idea because the seller will end up making more a a profit then if he sells them seperately. So maybe this really isn' that new of a trend its one that has been around for awhile and it working very well.

Apple Computer

i don't own and Apple computer but they are kinda a nice machine. they seem confusing at first but once you use them they are very simple. iTunnes and iPods are the some way just from what i have used of them.. according to this arttcle the Apple company is growing quite rapidly with all of there new items out. the iPod was said to be the best digital product of any kind ever invented... that is what what The Wall Street Jouranl stated. this artical was a very informative article to read about.. it good to see that this company is growing at amazing rate.. they have stores opening in London and more that are being opened in the UK and Japan. that is pretty cool... i guess my question would have to be what is next.. i don't know if any one can answer that right now...
