NBC U wanted to explore higher pricing for hit shows such as "Heroes" by raising the price from Apple's standard $1.99 to $2.99 on an experimental basis. "We wanted to take one show, it didn't matter which one it was, and experiment and sell it for $2.99," he said. "We made that offer for months and they said no."Apple wouldn't let us fleece the customers! Waaaah! Waaaah!
In lieu of more flexibility on pricing, NBC U sought a cut of Apple's hardware sales."Apple sold millions of dollars worth of hardware off the back of our content, and made a lot of money," Zucker said. "They did not want to share in what they were making off the hardware or allow us to adjust pricing."And when we're done, JVC, Panasonic, LG, we're coming for you! We've heard about these 'VCR' machines! We want our share!
Zucker took on a wide range of questions from Auletta and the audience, including whether NBC U would be spun off from GE and what he thinks of the newly launched Fox Business Network.Hi, I'm Jeff Zucker. I took NBC from ruling all in its path to turning into a laughing stock! And I can still screw up the Leno/O'Brien deal! Just watch me!

I need help. I am saying to myself that I'm supporting iTunes Plus by getting it. This is a flimsy excuse. I expect to regret this in the morning.Give me a piece of paper and I'l confess all my sins before the first band comes on.
Welcome to hipster central. I just want it to get started. I'm too awkward for the C86 revival. Too timid even for Sarah Records. The Field Mice would beat me up for lunch money while Action Painting look on.
The girls all look like they've stepped off the set of Billy Liar and the boys from a Wes Anderson film.
And All Stops And Starts. And Feedback Ahoy.
Did they really want to be here? Six of them cramming onto Madame Jojo's small stage. Sound system distorting the high end making my eye bleed. That's not right. The singer, Jihae Simmons is a cross between Bobin from Grange Hill and Robert Smith's hair mixed in with an American accent. Swoon. (note to reader who would like to try their luck: affect an American accent and I'm basically yours. Don't say I didn't warn you.)
Five, six songs? "This is our last song, and the last time we'll ever play in London". All done in 25 minutes. Back on the Underground. Piccadilly to Marylebone. Marylebone to Bicester North.Hmm. That ends up being much more negative than I really meant. I mean, I'm still looking forward to getting the album in the next couple of weeks… EDIT: My notes don't mention it, but seriously, how ace is How He Wrote Elastica Man? Very.
Erm, does anybody know a high street clothing emporium that sells black turtle-necked jumpers?
lalalalaThis picture fills me with far too much joy than is healthy for a perfectly-adjusted 28-year-old.
Heh.
