Beatles songs still aren't available on iTunes, but you can get them on an apple—a USB drive shaped like an apple, that is. EMI is charging a mere $279.99 for all of the band’s remastered studio albums, previously available only on CD, and a slew of video, photos, and cover art. The run is limited to 30,000, Billboard reports, and to judge from the online Beatles store, the collection appears to be selling like hotcakes. The apple drops Dec. 8. (More entertainment stories.)
