    Check your facts!

    Your article about Apple's iTunes Store vs. Amazon's MP3 store is based on ignorance and misinformation. Here's what MacDailyNews had to say about this article:

    "iTunes Store-purchased content works on Mac or Windows PC desktops and notebooks, can be burned onto music CDs and played on any CD player and—by ripping said CD—played on any MP3 player on Earth. It's quite simple. Known to just about anyone who's ever used iTunes. Yet, it's amazing how many people get this wrong either by lazily repeating ignorance or intentionally spreading disinformation, isn't it?"

    One is tempted to expect better from Salon. It's amazing to me how many so-called journalists nowadays are perfectly willing to write articles about subjects they know almost nothing about!

    Three words of advice: Check your facts!
