From the mailbag: "Hey gawker folks — can you put up a blurb about how the iTunes store is down, and hasn't been working since Tuesday? Downloads disappear, you can't download them, but your credit card still gets charged. the iTunes store's customer service people insist that there isn't a problem... I hate that Apple makes crack addicts out of us all, then takes away our supply. Grrr." Sure thing! Also, why aren't you just illegally downloading music for free like everyone else?
