Apple doing better in enterprise? Can't be true. What about all those problems that pop up when Apple is put to work in enterprise? I am trying my best to remember the reasons the anti-apple militia point too, but I really can't remember any.

Think it would have been worth pointing out that iTunes wasn't "hacked" as per the original reports in Tech Crunch but it was a phishing scam where people willingly handed over their details to the thieves. There was enough ambiguity with that sentence Jay to give people the impression that the payment system at iTunes was at fault. Where as it was more like putting your keys outside your house with a huge neon arrow pointing at them with a sign saying "the keys to this house", popping out for a meal and returning to find your house had been broken into.

MORAL: Give your passwords to thieves and they will steal stuff.
