This is not a post about the Apple/iTunes/Vista thing. It's about EVERY SINGLE news source having the same stupid article.

Does any news paper hire their own reports these days?

Apple Inc. is urging some iPod and iTunes users to hold off on upgrading computers to Windows Vista,

I don't think it's news to most people that these days, American journalism is mostly comprised of either fluff and/or lazy reporting. The Drudging (i.e., linking as a means of "reporting") of news is the norm online, though.

Um, if you click on Technology on the left, that is NOT what you are going to see.

Is this story really worth immediately setting a reporter on when you have a wire story? Seems like a waste of resources to me.

It's not "news" to me either.

But hey, I'm not posting 3 year old articles on here either.
