Für die Trennung von Kirche und iTunes

Als ich heute etwas im iTunes Store stöbern wollte, traute ich meinen Augen nicht. Im Teaser-Fenster, in dem die Top-Empfehlungen des Apple iTunes-Teams erscheinen, erschien diese Woche auf gleicher Ebene wie Herbert Grönemeyers neues Album (das ich natürlich umgehend kauften musste) eine Musik-Zusammenstellung von ICF Zürich. Wer regelmässig Medien liest, weiss, dass ICF gelinde gesagt [...]

After some days of response time today I got an “answer” from Apple regarding my account paymant problem: They just sent me the same two links to two non-related FAQ entries than they showed me automatically before I could fill in the contact form on the support sites.
