Tit for Tat: Apple vs. Yahoo! Betting Pools

Here at the D Conference, Walt Mossberg just asked Jerry Yang and David Filo about Steve Jobs' assertion on the same stage two days ago that Yahoo!'s new music service was priced below cost, and that they had a betting pool at Apple about how long it would be till Yahoo! raised their price. Steve's bet: 5 months. Jerry's reply: "Well, we have a pool at Yahoo! about how long it is before Apple introduces a subscription service. And I think David's down for 5 weeks!" That being said, Jerry did admit that perhaps their offering was an "introductory price."
