Apple Columnist Bill Thompson at the BBC asks whether the time has come for Apple to be put under the EU microscope in the same way as Microsoft has. "If Apple was serious about building a music industry around downloads and digital devices then it would open up its devices and interfaces to allow greater innovation and greater competition."

This is a ticking time bomb for Apple.

I've had Apple computers beginning with a ][ plus and have followed the company closely.

Apple is very cyclical...and it's usually just a matter of time before Jobs' ego gets the best of him and his company...to the demise of shareholders.

If something doesn't happen soon with Apple's lock on iTunes...looks like that cycle will continue.
