I got a new iPod Nano and went to the iTines store and was startled to find only about 20 movies (and the same number of TV shows) offered. And even fewer music videos. I wondered, who is making the selections here? Not to mention, why can't I access anything that is not for sale? Then I was on Twitter and notice that Anne Marie Cox - aka Wonkette - is the 'featured user'. Who died and made her a Twitter God? And who is picking those featured videos on YouTube. Etc. I'm not the only one wondering these things. And wondering whether money is flowing or inside deals are being made. I don't like these centralized services generally, and this is a major reason why.
