Random House prefers to stay out of the iBook Store
It has been reported that Random House, the largest book publisher in the world like, for one, remain outside the Apple Store iBook not enter a price war originated in the new business model that Apple imposed on the other publishers with whom they are currently working.
Random House believes that this new business will only affect the revenue of publishers. Random House CEO Markus Dohle, did not rule out reaching an agreement with Apple before 3 April, but said he had worked with "extreme caution" because of Apple's pricing policy, with which you disagree.
What we are seeing is that Apple is building its own pricing policy, instead of allowing publishers to set the price of its publications, an issue which I think would be normal. And is that 30% profit on each book to Apple, could eventually become untenable for publishers.
However, even if they already talked about this in the past, Apple supports this model, arguing that the new business that is about to undertake with the iBook Store, will be extremely successful. Apple believes that the new business will sustain itself after a few months and that ultimately will be a much better model than the present.
Even advocates argue that their system is better than Amazon, where publishers were the ones who fixed the final price of their publications, because the Amazon is not assured publishers have always profit, but losses have also been Resgistrar. They note that Apple's sustained viability during the latest years, is a proof that the business model is correct.

Video: Aerial View of the complex of servers that Apple builds in North Carolina
The video you see above these lines, supposedly is the complex of servers that Apple is building in the town of Maiden in the state of North Carolina in the United States. The rumor that once gave you to know, is finally taking shape.
As you can realize, is quite large, almost 46.500 meters square. So now we can assume that all our data, if we are customers of iTunes Music Store and the AppStore, most likely there will be stored exactly in the near future.
It's so large, covering almost 5 times the current complex of the company's servers, which is located in Newark, California. As was already said, this server complex will cost approximately $ 1,000 million dollars, because in the future will be one of the most important locations in Apple's strategy in regard to "Cloud Computing" .
It is wise to remember that Apple agreed to locate precisely this complex of servers in North Carolina, thanks to the state government offered a series of tax incentives that amount to more than $ 46 million dollars. Although everything is siiendo a rumor, it's likely that Apple uses it to support iTunes, AppStore and iBookstore.
