Thousands scramble to pay 99 cents for copy-protected silence
 
This is fucking insane, the iTunes store is selling a track that is nothing but 63 seconds of silence. It is an MP4 complete with copy protection, WTF.

Wanna go partners? I'm breaking into the "Florida in a Jar" market and have been stockpiling ocean water and sand.

It could be big! |jester|

We had 3 minutes of silence in old jukeboxes. If you were in bar and pissed off to music that was playing, you could play that 3 minutes silence from jukebox.

But who will buy 3 minutes of silence for home use? Crazy...
