And the quote of the day belongs to….*drum roll*….Steve Jobs! And, just for the record, I like the new logo.
Steve, Enjoyed the presentation today. But … this new iTunes logo really sucks. You're taking 10+ years of instant product recognition and replacing it with an unknown. Let's both cross our fingers on this.

We've recently been approached by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office, which is conducting an antitrust review of Google. We look forward to answering their questions because we're confident that Google operates in the best interests of our users.
