Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes

Posted by pudge on from the oops dept.

squiggleslash writes "Apple has issued an update to iTunes 4, iTunes 4.0.1. It can be downloaded via Software Update. The big change seems to be that iTunes will now only stream music to other Macs on the same subnet. This is presumably a response to people publishing public lists of shared iTunes playlists, though it does mean that anyone wanting to stream music from home to work or vice versa is SOL. Oh well." You can't share between 4.0 and 4.0.1 iTunes, so be careful in updating. AppleScript access to shared playlist tracks is fixed, though. Woop woop.

  4. Us mac users don't use black dildos by Ilan+Volow · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    It's a common misconception that us mac users use black dildos. We mac users actually use iDildo's, which have attractive titanium-covered finish and play mp3's that you can download for 99 cents from Apple.

    We also write Applescript for our iDildos, such as

    tell application "dildo"
    vibrate
    end tell

    While PC users tend to make fun of us for not using more conservative beige-colored dildos, we smile and think nothing of it as we watch them fiddle for hours on end just trying to get their dildos to work.
