With American housing and financial markets going berserk, choosing between renting and owning isn't a simple decision. Except, perhaps, when it come to music. This week's revelation that Apple is negotiating with major record labels about offering a subscription to its entire iTunes music library is the best news I've heard in ages. Details are scarce.

But I don't see how this could be anything but a positive for enthusiastic music fans who want inexpensive access to more than 6 million songs.

A day after Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen let the news slip that Adobe was working on building a version of its Flash Player for the iPhone, Adobe tried to temper the expectations that Shantanu's remarks spawned. News that some form of the Flash Player would be coming to the iPhone came during a quarterly earnings call Tuesday when Narayen told investors that the company intended to bring its technology to Apple's high-profile handset.
