Macworld 2008: Apple announces iTunes Movie Rentals
This was one of the big rumours in recent weeks, and it turned out to be true. Apple has announced an iTunes Movie Rentals service, working with major studios including Sony, Paramount, Universal, Disney, Fox, and Warner Brothers, as well as Touchstone, Miramax, MGM, Lions Gate and New Line.
1,000 films will initially be offered through the service, they’ll be available 30 days after their DVD releases, and will be playable on Macs, PCs, iPods and the iPhone. Each rental will cost $3.99 for new films and $2.99 for older movies – you’ll have 30 days to watch them, although once you start, you’ll only have 24 hours to finish.
The Movie Rentals service goes live today in the US, but the rest of us will have to wait until later in the year. You’ll need a firmware update for your iPod and iPhone to watch them though.
Apple has now sold more than four billion songs through iTunes – it passed the milestone last week – with 20 million songs being sold on Christmas Day alone. Meanwhile, iTunes has shifted 125 million TV show downloads, and seven million movies. Interestingly, Jobs admitted that the latter two figures didn’t meet Apple’s expectations.
The company must be hoping the Movie Rentals will prove more appealing for consumers.

And nothing was more delightful than the lady wrestlers themselves. Yes, they were tacky, with their giant fake breasts, tanning-booth tans, and rigorously gym-toned bodies, but they were also lively and funny and seemed to be genuinely happy. When they entered the sewing room it was as if the lights were turned on, making everything brighter and sharper.

But, beyond this narrative facility with fashion, the Manolo especially loves the Clothes on their Backs because there is real life in this book–messy, complex, disappointing, sometimes difficult, sometimes glorious life–our preconceptions are overthrown, moral clarity is difficult to come by, and, just as in real life, things rarely go as we would have wished. In the end, however, the message comes through, you cannot shirk life, you can only live it.

What is needed in such case is the jolt of fantasy, and so the Manolo would recommend leaning back in your reproduction Aeron chair, closing your eyes, and imagining for 60 seconds who you would seduce Mata Hari-style while wearing these exotic and super sexy sandals from Rene Caovilla.

And to celebrate the changing of the fashion guard, the Manolo recommends to you this handsome, comfortable, and reasonably priced, pointy-toed demi-d’orsay pump, the Cherry Hill from the Kenneth Cole New York.

So, it all worked out for the best in the end, even if you are still somewhat traumatized, and now you have retreated to your desk to look at the shoes so as to calm your jangly nerves.
Last week, the Manolo recommended the Clergerie shoes, and The Thoughtful Dresser blog is always speaking of them.
Manolo says, ayyyy! Who knew Brooke Shields was so nice! She is like the giant, beautiful goddess of nice, radiating kindness and good humor everywhere.
Clutch us to your ample bosom, Giant Goddess Brooke! Teach us to be nice to annoying persons with consciously outre hairstyles and studied personality traits. We are your votaries!

Sure, we all think that our little duckling is the sweetest, bestest child in the world. And what better way to show that loving devotion to the rest of the world than by throwing a ginormous birthday party for a three year old?

Manolo says, many of the Manolo’s internet friends have been writing to him saying, “Manolo, why have you forsaken us? Are you well? Why have you not been posting more often on your shoe blog these past few months?”
To which the Manolo must reply that since the week before Christmas, the Manolo has been travelling hither and yon, into all of the most extreme parts of southern South America.
