[TR] Apple enables 'Superstorm Sandy' donations in iTune Store

That's right – 100 per cent. There'll be no 30 per cent cut taken by Apple for its eleemosynary enablement.

Hmm, I came into this thinking there would be some sort of 1:1 donation going on. Apple donate $1 for every $1 you donate.

But alas, no.

You donate your money, but it is donated in apple's name!, I'm sure this only helps them evade taxes? if you want to donate to the red cross do it yourself!

Come on people, credit where credit's due.

People over there are really suffering through this, and all we (OCN) can do is bag apple out for making an

EASY, PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE way for people to help out.

Sure, if they were taking a cut then OUTRAGE, but they're not.

Let's back off the bandwagon just this once ey, out of respect for the people struggling if nothing else.
