I know what an invention is. My point is iTunes is nothing new. Similar services have been around.

It's like saying Henry Ford invented the automobile.

They have a point though, the store did cause a large change within the music industry.

I like the part where they say, Apple only makes [i]about[/b] ten cents on the dollar.

Gee, one little software program bringing in $50 million a year based no $500 million in sales?

Terrible.

Distibution costs, sure. But he(Apple) doesn't have to print or record one single CD himself, no production costs.

ACK!

the point still remains, whether or not the acronym was correct.

time is like most other mainstream magazine when it comes to technology: clueless, and behind the curve.
