iTunes Sales Not 'Collapsing' After All

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the looking-at-the-bigger-picture dept.

john82 writes "Earlier this month we had a report from Forrester, based on a random sampling of 2,000 credit card accounts, that purported to show that iTunes sales were crashing. Now comes another survey from Reston, VA-based ComScore which indicates the exact opposite. ComScore's report which is based on actual iTunes sales shows a 84% increase during the first nine months of this year compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile the author of the Forrester report, Josh Bernoff, noted in his blog yesterday that they shouldn't be pummeled just because everyone took what he wrote and ran with it."

    I think he should loose his job...
    He should even more loose his job...

    The spelling of the correct word is LOSE. I'll repeat that: L O S E. Loose is a word with a significantly different meaning. Lose and loose are not interchangeable. The battle over your, you're and their, there, they're is lost but do we have to LOSE the distinction between lose and loose? That single 'o' may look lonely but it is correct. Lose the extra 'o', please.

    Ah, the "flamebait" moderation...when facts are too inconvenient to argue with, just mod 'em down! The funny thing is that I have been an Apple customer for 20 years.
