A MacNN reader forwarded a note from NPR about its decision to drop QuickTime streaming from its Internet services: "For several years, npr.org has been offering some of our audio in QuickTime, but recently the arrangement between Apple and NPR expired. During the last several months, Apple and NPR have tried to work out the terms to renew that arrangement, but were unable to come to an agreement. It doesn't reflect on Apple's technology -- business and legal issues alone have led to this outcome."

To the people who talked about Apple screwing up: This isn't like some weird licensing deal where NPR refused to sign a contract. This is Apple saying "we don't have millions of dollars to give you to help get you using our format".

I mean, does this actually hurt Apple in any way? Didn't think so.
