Don't mean to be nit picking. I do mean to point out how relatively little the organization stands to gain compared to what Apple gains. If a million of these things are sold, the Aids Fund gets $10 million. That's about how much Apple spends on a few prime time ads, and the press the get from this probably far exceeds that. Still, hopefully a substantial amount of that gets into the hands of those it's meant to help. I didn't search much for 3rd party reports for verification, but from their own website, this seems like a worthy organization. (http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/faq/#3 ) Of course, anything "global" and "aid to governments" is fraught with potential scandalous disasters.
