Apple is Porting iTunes to Windows

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Apple is indeed porting its new iTunes software to Windows as evidenced by a posting on its job board (No. 1949938) This has interesting implications for Apple trying to sell more expensive hardware when the same apps are available on cheaper Wintel hardware. Is this inevitable? Will this have any effect on P2P networks?" Sure enough, I go there and it says, " Looking for a Senior Software Engineer to desing (sic) and build Apple's newest Consumer Application, iTunes for Windows." Heh.

Indeed, some of those K5 posts are shockingly bad. Here's one random weblog talking about just how bad some of the things on that thread are.

"Uncharacteristic silliness" compared to how K5's userbase usually acts is an understatement. It's almost like reading Slashdot with the threshold set at 0...

Dear Apple

[Anonymous Coward]

Dear Apple,

I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

with much gayness,

Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

Modded Flamebait? Some kind of K5 retribution?

Seriously, I want a few clear intelligent voices with multi-platform and real-world experience - you know who you are - to contribute some sanity that unfortunate K5 thread. No flaming required if you don't feel like it.

It's the internet, people. IF we don't cross threads once in awhile then stupidity just keeps spinning around and around and around.... Don't let the 'net become like a clothes dryer.
