Business Matters: If Apple is Peaking, What Digital Services Are Next?
By Glenn Peoples
Sept. 25, 2012
From Billboard.biz

"Though Apple will remain a highly profitable company for years to come, I would be surprised if it ever gives us another product as transformative as the iPhone or the iPad," Nocera wrote last week in an op-ed titled "Has Apple Peaked?" ... Without another iPhone, iPad or iPod, Apple will not have the next innovative product that transforms the digital music marketplace. The question then becomes who will step in and take from Apple its place at the top of the digital music heap? And how long will it take? Or will the digital music marketplace languish without Apple's leadership?

MASTER OF HORROR / Jack H. Harris Enterprises - 1965

Welcome to Friday Night Drive-In with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's offering is a fairly obscure (not even 1 review on IMDb!) flick made in Argentina and produced by Jack H. Harris. Jack had already made THE BLOB, THE 4-D MAN and DINOSAURUS. I swear, there was supposed to be another Blob movie recently, I wonder what happened to that project?! Hey, I used to have that poster! This movie was originally paired with another Harris production, MASTER OF TERROR, which is none other than a renamed version of THE 4-D MAN!! Pretty danged slick, Jack. I know, the title card says 'The' Master Of Horror! There are no credits for the music. Obviously, it's stock music from who knows where, so, my job's like, done here... Lettuce now bring in our littlest Dungeon helper and buddy, the one, the only, sure 'nuf, itz... Rufus The Gnat!! Yippie, yappie, yahooie!.. Rufus is all set to push the big red 'GO' button and start the show, so, push the button now,

TOUCH OF EVIL - Henry Mancini - "¿Dónde Está Mi Esposa" (1958)

Image
"Touch Of Evil" is one of my favourite movies, and goes way beyond being merely special with an all-star cast, this film is Magnífico y Súper Fantástico!!! The Maestro Henry Mancini wrote the score, and although Henry is well known as the composer of "The Pink Panther Theme," and "Moon River," my favourite of his works will always be the timeless "Peter Gunn" theme!! Working effortlessly in all genres, including the Whitey Thomas era of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Here's just a small snippet of how Hank could rock! You would't really think a couple of D cell batteries and a cheap $2.99 kitchen timer would be capable of causing much trouble, but.... ...this vintage Chrysler and it's passengers are about to become toast! This movie starts off with about a four minute single shot that follows the car right to the point where it explodes, while at the same time introducing the stars Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh as Mike and Susan Varga
