One of the design decisions that Steve Jobs made about iTunes—and for
better or worse, one that has been responsible for its tremendous
success—was to make the primary unit of sale the song as opposed to
the album. Jobs was a classic rock, album-oriented guy as much as any
boomer, but he saw what was going on in the world of illicit file
sharing and realized that the kids were trading in songs already. But
when it comes to the world of magazine publishing, that lesson has not
yet been learned. With the entry of the “New iPad” with it’s
high-resolution retina display, the traditional magazine model will
come under increased pressure. http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2012/03/12/steve-jobs-ghost-hi-res-...
