The OP's referring to Steve's three legged stool slide at WWDC. The three legs being the Mac, the iPhone, the iPod/iTunes. No mention of

They say it in the headline for the press release but then they say something different in the text itself. It seems Apple may be playing with semantics here. Why include "and downloaded" with respect to an online store? What's the point of emphasizing that for an online store that only sells downloads? That's the only way you can buy. I have downloaded free songs but they show up as a "sale" for $0. Selling a song for $0 is not really selling in the traditional sense which is why it appears Apple clarifies with the "and downloaded" bit in the first paragraph.

Strictly speaking all AIDS involves is a weak or dead immune system and associated diseases, some of which are not in themselves fatal. It doesn't imply anything else. That is, if you know what AIDS is. If you don't really know and just assume it's druggies and homosexual mean, you'll be assuming all sorts of wild ideas.Edit again - looks like some of the comments were removed and only the first page still exists. which gives a kind of broad overview of what people are thinking. One jerk even wrote the possibility of AIDS.

AIDS is reversible anyway, provided you get to it before too long. And completely preventable. More or less.

I disagree. I've taught high school English and college journalism and made my life with words. IMHO, if the release is accurate, and 5B were bought AND downloaded, the conjunction "and" means 5B were bought and 5B were downloaded, not that some combination of purchases and downloads add up to 5B. So: 5B bought.
This analysis assumes the press release was worded precisely and correctly.
Except it was a little more than just two months ago:betanews think this is a lie.
since apple has been using the same report claim 4B just two months ago. That would indicate 16Million /day....
