John Hodgman audio books are no longer my favorite thing on the iTunes Store. Apple just simplified donations to the American Red Cross to help the Haiti relief effort. If you have an iTunes account, you can give $5, $10, $25, $50, $100 or $200, and Apple will charge the credit card you have on record. You’ll find a contribution link on the iTunes Store Home or click here to launch iTunes and access the donation page. Your monetary gift is anonymous, and 100% goes to the American Red Cross to provide food, water, shelter and emergency services to disaster victims in Haiti. It’s the best transaction I’ve made on the iTunes Store.
