10 years since Apple launched the iTunes music store

iTunes turns 10: Apple launched the iTunes Music Store on April 28, 2003, an online music store that lets customers find, purchase and download music. Apple CEO Steve Jobs has described the iTunes Music Store as a way for consumers to legally download music from the Internet while protecting the rights of the artists and music companies.

The photo from Apple Computer shows the company's iTunes, a digital music player for a computer.

When Apple launched its iTunes music store a decade ago amid the ashes of Napster, the music industry - reeling from the effects of online piracy - was anxious to see how the new music service would shake out.

#Fail: The worst of tech in 2012

While many gadgets surprised us this year with their innovative features and great performance, but a spate of gadgets and services on the other hand proved to be flops in the world of tech. Here is the list of the biggest tech failures of 2012.

Sony Smartwatch - It's biggest flaw is that this watch is only for Android users. So, if you don't have an Android phone, it's of no use. The Sony SmartWatch failed to impress us. It may be a gadget to flaunt but according to us it's not of much utility in day to day use.

LG Optimus Vu - Its odd shape is the biggest drawback. Its shape is not meant for a smartphone. It's too wide for a phone which makes it comfortable to hold. Any rectangular 5-inch phone is better than what LG came up with - a shape that lies in between square and rectangle.
