And— we continue to be the leader in innovation. I think everybody's copying us. So— you know, we're working really hard to make the best personal computers in the world.

    huh?

    "users should expect advertising 'tagged into them' into the coming months."

    I knew there was a catch to all of this! I guess I'm glad I can forward past the ads, but now I wonder if someone could hack my iPod so that the FF button advances 15 and/or 30 seconds ahead? ;)

    Catch? No, no catch.

    Oh big deal, so some of the big shots will be taking advantage of podcasting. That's a given. There are plenty of underdog shows out there that kick a** and are free and will remain so, and that's the glory of podcasting. What you subscribe to - mainstream or otherwise - is up to you. No use bitching about it. There's no catch if you look at the bigger picture.

    Well Duh...

    Of course there will be advertising, they are just copying the tried and true method that worded in radio and TV. Only difference is the barrier to entry is a few dollars a month to host a podcast file.

    The PBS podcasts will have pledge breaks in them.
