iTunes' Inevitable Price Increase

Why isn't the title of this piece "iTunes inevitable price decrease"? I bought a bunch of songs yesterday for $.69 each, which is cheaper than it was only last week. Yet, ALL of the bloggers only talk about the rise in price of the pop junk to $1.29. The stuff I listen to and want to buy just had a price DECREASE *and* DRM was stripped off. Why didn't this fact get any ink?

Microsoft Gets the Blogging Community

There's a good reason why "no known bloggers work at Apple." Jobs insists on lsecrecy for everything he does. That is indisputable. All of his employees are cloaked under a similar veil of secrecy. If they openly blogged, I think, they'd be gone pretty quickly. You or I may not like it, but that's just the way it is. SJ's attitude is to let his products and service do the talking, not some loose-lipped employee who might let some internal secrets go out the door.
