NBC's "Today" show tech editor [Corey Greenberg](http://www.coreygreenberg.com/?ref=protein.xyz) was paid $15,000 by [Apple Computer](http://www.apple.com/?ref=protein.xyz) to praise the iPod during an appearance last July. Naughty, naughty. Greenberg, an NBC contributor, confirmed yesterday that he has received payments from Apple as well as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Seiko Epson, Creative Technology and Energizer Holdings, after his private contracts were disclosed in a report by the Wall Street Journal. Greenberg reportedly charged the companies $15,000 apiece to talk up their products on news shows. Last July he praised the iPod as as "a great portable musical player . . . the coolest-looking one" and suggested a compatible device to "share your music with other people." \[Agenda Inc.\]
