play back is for crap....

1st post? hahah

It only works on IE on Windows.

Bummer!

CNBC video dosn't work on my Intel MacBook.

I hate this crap -- I'll wait til it shows up on Mac friendly, youtube or someone's .Mac...

Does not work in Safari but works in Firefox.

works in Firefox on my Intel iMac...hmmm, somewhat.

commercial for HP plays just fine tho

how about that?

Play was crap but it did work in my Safari.

so, it seems to me..Steve is more focused on iTunes and interoperability -- vs. iPod/iTunes only....the iPod has sold millions of player, but with new players entering the market, I don't expect the iPod growth rate to be on par with previous years....I expect quite the oppisite....I wouldn't be surprised if in this phase of "DIGITAL MUSIC REVOLUTION", we steer away from the iPod craze to ????

one more thing....

it will soon be..

iPod/Zune/Zen/etc. MP3 player + iTunes.

and not just:

iPod + iTunes.

I think it matters not so much for Apple if the music is set free, as he stated, they will continue to create the best player and the best store....regardless if the music is free, or if it was stolen or wherever it came from, people will want an ipod to carry it around in, and that is where Apple makes its profit, the ipod.

works on an old G4 in safari for me

Business suiside? What the guy is talking about? What about the 90% of music shipped without DRM? Was he even listening to Jobs? How difficult it is to rip the CD and share it on the web? Apple is just leveling the playing field and making it easier for people to buy legal music.

MW: "steps". This is just the first step.

What retards design and build these video pages? Doesn't work in Safari, barley works in Firefox. LAME.

Gman:

iTunes for everyone, that's a thought! Subscription music providers' mouth went dry and their minds sent into paroxysms of confusion and dismay.

Almost worked on my MBP -- but then didn't.

Useless site.

It works in Firefox via the flip4mac plug in.
It plays fine right after the HP commercial finishes, there is a little overlap.
Its just really crappy programming.. as in software not TV...

You guys need to update your mac with flip4mac. Worked in Firefox and Safari for me. We are just use to the smooth operation of quicktime. WMP is always a crappy experience. Even on a Mac

NBC is affiliated with Microsoft. What did you expect, quality engineering?

theres still overlap with flip4mac.
if it was in quicktime no one would have a problem

What an awful experience on the CNBC (aka MSNBC) web site!!! (my wife has complained about NBC videos in the past. Now I know why.

Send them an email to let them know about your experience. I did.

playback sucks! poorly coded website

Worked fine in Safari on my Quad G5 tower

I wish Apple/Disney would buy NBC/General Electric/the entire world and toss the M$-shill anti-Mac Microdork-only bent-over-for-Gates NBC executives onto the street stark naked, after ruining them financially — but just before making them eat Chinese pet food.

BBC also has their interview:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6510000/newsid_6519300/6519319.stm?bw=nb&mp=rm#

BBC also has their interview:

"Access to this page is forbidden."

Damned illuminati and their BBC license tax.

"How do you know this won't open the floodgates for illegal file sharing? This could be business suicide..."

Is he f-ing serious? Why is it any easier to illegally share DRM-free files purchased from iTunes than files ripped from purchased CD's? Where is the logic?

I am so tired of stupid people.

What a Big F___ing Waste of time. God I hate websites that don't work with Safari. I got to see the advertisement! And then it didn't show me the video. :(

Would all you whining Mac zealots please stop crying and run out and get a windows peecee all ready!

Ah, just kidding; CNBC is shit.

I can't wait to hear "Middlebronfman" comment on this!

BBC version worked perfectly on my iBook using Safari.

The DRM dam on music is cracking. Looks like a win-win-win, we'll see what the market says soon enough.

r_y_a_n: barley works in Firefox.

Hmmm. Barley seems to sieze up my DVD drive. Maybe I should try Campbell's Beef & Barley? Hmmm.

Oh. And death to CNBC.

How is this 'business suicide' as mentioned in the video when a kid-pirate can already borrow a friend's CD, rip it and mail it to their friends?! All kids pirate - we did it with tapes of records, and eventually we grow out of it. Now those of us who have grown up have a legitimate source of high-quality, DRM-free, guilt-free music we can point our kids and ourselves to. We should be pushing for DRM-free movies. DRM should only be for subscriptions.

Pretty damn sad that it is an interview
with the head of Apple and I need to
download the Microsoft player to watch
it?

Right.

Here it is on Google Video:

Thanks, Jack A.

No wonder CNBC blocks that clip. "Joe Schmuck has this to say:"

Dead air.

"Well," the "host" says in a tight view because co-host Halfwit Jones is missing, "we're looking for that clip. We don't have it."

Co-host Halfwit Jones manages to climb onto the set before it's lights out for an ad: "Yessssssss..........."

The woman who's stuck for an answer when someone says hello stumbles through the growing embarrassment. "What do you think about having to pay 30 cents more so you can share the music?"

Halfwit Jones: "30 cents more so you can share?"

"Yes. So you can share."

Halfwit Jones: "I tend to agree that it will destroy the business . . . but what do I know?"

I know you know you're an idiot.
