Newbie:

I see that you can comment on existing stories, but how do you add or request new stories?

Thanks

Here's my story:

Here's something that it seems everyone has missed:

You know that Steve Jobs has come out against DRM, yes?

But that's only for Others' products! His new iPod connectors will not work with unlicensed 3rd party products any more. If you want your product to connect to the new iPods (e.g. simple video out), then you buy a license from Apple.

Seems that DRM is bad for music companies, but good for Apple; what hippocrits!

Completely off-topic, but I don't know if you guys noticed there's already a version 7.4.1 for iTunes. That was quick! Does it resolve the infamous make-your-own-ringtones-by-renaming-your-files bug?

Erica requested I post it, so that's why I'm doing it this week.

As for why it's a little early, well, I guess I just misunderstood when it was supposed to go up. Consider it a nice surprise. :)
