Hello My Fellow Johnny Appleseeds:

I am happy to report that less than 2 hours after I posted yesterday’s article regarding my recent experience with iTunes’ failure to correct a server error regarding one of my podcast shows, I received a personal email informing me that the matter would be resolved immediately. 

Today, Sunday, February 14, less than 24 hours after I posted yesterday’s article regarding my recent experience with iTunes’ failure to correct the server error, the matter has been successfully resolved.

I will not offer an apology to Apple nor will I retract my previous post on this issue for, regardless of the outcome, it was necessary for me to publicize what should have remained a private matter in order to get Apple’s attention. 

But, Horatio, what about those who do not have an online forum from which to demand satisfaction?

And The Saga Continues …

Hello Everyone,

As many of us know, Google knows more about anyone on the web than virtually any other organization.  However, what some of us may not know or, more accurately, remember is that we can begin to understand and see how much Google knows about anyone of us with the use of the Google Dashboard.
