Silence of the Lame

This is so silly. If it were April 1st, I would think that CNET was doing a spoof of an Onion headline. But, it seems as though this is real. Apple's iTunes is offering several "songs" for download that are nothing but silence. They decline to say how many they have sold, but, being that humans have an inexplicable ability to be conned over and over, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a lot. I think I should start offering 'Ralstunes' here. I will give 2 for 1 silence downloads. I will even offer to send them via email. 98 cents for 2.
