Verizon's data plan pricing structure underwent a major overhaul today, as the provider -- true to its CEO's word -- has officially rolled out a new, tiered system for mobile customers.

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/iTunes_top_tracks_1_29_Amazon_0_99_thanks_record_labels'; As promised, variable pricing has now been implemented at the iTunes music store. Already, we're seeing most of top 10 singles and 33 of the top 100 hitting the top price-point of $1.29 (encoded as DRM-free 256kbps AAC).

You just have to love the mixed messages, don't you? On one hand, you've got research asserting that Blu-ray simply isn't gaining the desired amount of traction since the demise of HD DVD; on the other, you've got numbers showing that BD adoption actually is on the up and up. So, which is it? According to a hot-out-of-the-oven study by ABI Research, consumers in America are still procrastinating ...

We never really thought we'd hear anyone say that Apple wasn't gouging its customers enough, but that appears to be the opinion of Rafi Mohammed, head of the consulting firm Culture of Profit, and author of 'The Art of Pricing.'
