“THE RECORD industry is apparently on the verge of surrendering to Jobs’ Mob’s demands that music prices be kept at .99 cents a single on iTunes.Universal, Warner Music, SonyBMG and EMI North America are all in various stages of renegotiating their digital deals and had made lots of public statements that the flat rate charge was a non-starter. Some told the New York Post they may end up pulling their music from iTunes.

They wanted older songs to be charged at 60 cents and 80 cents with newer songs being priced as much harder.

Jobs called them all greedy and said he would hold his breath until he turned blue until they gave in.”

Although the Odigo website has been back up for a while and downloads available of there messenger, the actual service itself has been offline.

I would guess maybe they have had problems with the database, but anyhow its nice to see you back again 😉

Update: Although it seems for now that the people finder and profiles etc is not connecting, so maybe its not fully 100% yet.

Apple has now released a free download where parents or owners of there iPod’s can now set the max level at which there players will go.

Although here in nanny state Europe , the iPod’s we buy here already have there max volume set lower than ones sold around other parts of the world anyway.

Still, at least in other countries now, you have the option via a download from the Apple site to adjust your volume to a max level you are happy with, or what you think are best for your children.

How nice to live in parts of the world where you can make you own mind up on issues like this 😉
