Apple Falls Short of Rental-Movie Target

Apple Inc. has fallen substantially short of its target of having 1,000 movies available for rent on its Apple TV set-top box by the end of February, and is blaming studios for the discrepancy. A complete count of the number of movies available on the box was elusive, but appeared to be between 400 and 500. Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs told shareholders at the annual meeting Tuesday that he's ''not happy'' with the shortfall, according to the San Jose Mercury News. (AP)
