"...irritated countless iTunes users in the process by forcing it onto their iPhones and iPads."

For a tech writer, he's pretty clueless about iTunes settings and how SoI actually got downloaded. Devil's in the details.

The Edge: “[Eno] would love to see us making albums a bit more like [Zooropa]. Where we go, ‘You know what? We’re not going to second-guess any of this. Let’s just go for it.’”

U2 Fans: We'd all love to see that, Edge.

Interesting... from Tech Crunch of all places...

They lost me on the first line when they repeated the ridiculous claim that Apple paid U2 $100M for exclusive rights to SOI. No, Apple paid $100M to market the iPhone 6. U2 got a small fraction of that
