Year: 2010

The Costco Wholesasle chain is phasing out Apple products, per a mutual agreement between the companies, Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti told the “Seattle Times” (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2013631005_costco09.html).

Costco had sold iPods and pre-loaded iTunes cards for years, although never at huge discounts. What’s more Apple never allowed Costco to sell its products online like other retailers, Galanti said. “In the past couple months, we agreed to wind down,” he told the “Seattle Times.”

Apple has announced its “iTunes Rewind 2010” selections in the iTunes Store. It offers what Apple thinks is the best music, TV shows, apps, movies, audiobooks, and podcasts of 2010.

Go to the iTunes Store for the complete list. However, to whet your appetite, some of the winners are “Brothers” (Deluxe) as Best Album, Eminem for Artist of the Year, “Modern Family” as Best TV Comedy, “Mad Men” as Best TV Drama, and “Toy Story 3” as one of the Best Movies of 2010.
