Well, I didn't save all these messages... It seems to me that they  
don't make the news, they just report it. I think you mentioned the  
MP3 thing as something they did wrong - if so, then why did Apple make  
a change to the OS to prevent that type of malware from functioning?

Anyway, you probably blame your newspaper for all the bad news they  
publish. :-)
