Comedy Central funnyman Stephen Colbert's holiday spectacular premiered Sunday night and it features a clip of him sitting at the piano writing new Christmas carols. Why? He explains that, while he likes all the old Christmas songs ["White Christmas," "Silver Bells," "Puff the Magic Dragon"], he would only get royalties if he wrote them. "When we sing those old holiday standards, someone else gets the royalty check. That doesn’t sound like Christmas to me," Colbert muses (watch the clip above). FYI: The dispute over the U.S. system of royalties gained steam in the 110th Congress and is expected to return in 2009. (Hat tip, Broadcast Law Blog)

I've heard about prices going down for the iPhone internationally. Is this true? I thought they were going great, seeing all those videos with people standing in enormous lines for three days! Does this price change show a non-acceptable thing for Apple? Also, I am interested in buying one. What are the prices and what different types are there? Just interested :).
