How Lala And The Web Will Make iTunes Even More Powerful Why Apple Paid $US80 Million For A Music Streaming Service You've Never Heard Of
So, reason Apple paid $US85 million for Lala is because they were stealing it from Google. Which is like payback, because Google stole Admob from Apple, and oh, lordee is this fight gruesome.
We’ve been wondering what a Lalaized iTunes would look like, and we weren’t too far off: The WSJ says iTunes is evolving into a web-centric model, making the biggest music store in the world that much more powerful.
It still seems strange, on the face of it. iTunes is the ginormousest force in digital music, beaming out billions of bits of music a day. Apple paid $US80 million for LaLa, a streaming site you’ve never heard of. Why?
In today’s forgotten corner of Gizmodo that is Remainders, we’ve got OK Go’s new tech-courting music video, ever more info on the Apple-Lala acquisition, a super (Mario) cross-stitch project, and Ellen Degeneres’s gadgety Christmas giveaway. Buckle up, you guys.

Apple is close to acquiring digital-music service Lala, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions.
The latest news, in The Week Of The LaLa: the company’s long-promised iPhone app, which would bring the bizarre play-a-song-once-for-free-then-pay-10-cents model to mobile, has been submitted to Apple. And assuming they don’t abort it, this is what it’ll look like.
