iTMS Named Fortune's Product Of The Year
Demolition writes "To go along with Time Magazine calling the iTunes Music Store the Invention Of The Year, Fortune Magazine has come along and proclaimed iTunes Music Store as the Product Of The Year. As it says in the article, 'With the success of its iTunes Music Store, Apple is almost single-handedly dragging the music industry, kicking and screaming, toward a better future.'" Also, Fortune named the G5 one of the 25 Best Products of the Year for Design.

Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
While it's slow, it looks so friendly you won't mind the wait.
I think that's been the Mac philosophy all along.
I think I think, therefore I think I am.
About Apple iTunes... I read an article in the newspaper (here in Ottawa) about how artists are only receiveing one DIME out of each $1.00 download. Apple takes 34 cents and the record company gets the rest. Nice eh? Once again the industry manages to screw the artist out of 90% of the profit. This is why people are downloading illegally online. If I felt that the artist was going to get 50% of the profit I might actually go and pay ITunes a visit. As it stands now the only way to make sure an artist gets any real money is to buy their merch when I go and see them. At least then I don't feel guilty about downloading a song or two because I know I'm not giving it to some fat cat in a suit who could care less about developing a band anyway. (Bassballs)

Both Fortune and Time are owned by the same company (and have been since Time Inc. launched Fortune in the late 1920s).
