    Regarding the PowerPC/IBM: "the PowerPC roadmap -- which you might have heard about already -- is really good, I can't talk about it, but it's _really good_ what's coming."

    Regarding iTunes Music Store and Competition: "We would like to break even/make a little bit of money but it's not a money maker."
