Just as pathetic as the blind love for Apple.

Swings and roundabouts.


What are they doing? They opened a donate button to the Red Cross. Fine. Are they giving anything? No. So, what's their angle here? Apple always have an angle. An NFL team gave $1m. Apple is worth $500bn and isn't giving anything.

That said, I'm sure they will give something.

Ok. I give Apple credit. But I will just say this, in the most neutral way possible, and still hopefully offer something. If you give money to a company, any for-profit company, as in not .org but .com, even in the form of donation, shouldn't you expect that they take some off the top? I mean they are licensed to do so, after all.

I think another way to encourage people to donate money through Apple is like this: every dollar you donate, you will receive the same amount of credit in the apple store for you to spend. It will be like I'm donating money and getting music. Double win. Valve did this with tf2 hat for the Japan relief last year and raised over $430,000. I think with the popularity of the iTune we can easily exceed $10 million dollar in donation.

Only a user on Overclock.net could find a problem with Apple setting up a donation store...

Now this would be worthy of praise.
