100 iPods Per Minute

STEVE JOBS ON IPOD SALES RATE: 12:12 PM - "How many [iPods] did we sell last quarter? Some of the estimates were getting astronomical - 8 million, 9 million. I'm really pleased to announce that last quarter we sold 14 million iPods .. that is over a hundred every minute, 24/7 throughout the quarter. And it still wasn't enough. We've now sold over 42 million iPods -- as you can see the curve is going up again." -- Steve Jobs keynote live from Macworld 2006

And what's playing on all those iPods? "We have sold on iTunes over 850 million songs. We are well on our way to hitting a billion in the next weeks. That is over a billion songs a year run rate. Our market share continues to be very strong - 83 percent."

And now some 42 million of us are like hogs in a delicatessen, gorging ourselves on all of modern music and appreciating none of it. It seems the IPod makes us esthetically, and literally, tone deaf.

Well, nobody ever said that Steve Jobs was not S A T A N.... except perhaps Bill Gates who thought he had the job for life.
