FrYGuY101 writes "As recently covered on Slashdot, there was a hole in iTunes which allowed music to be acquired from the iTunes Music Store without Apple's DRM applied. Well, Apple has just released an update which closes this exploit."

...it requires you place a wad of chewing gum in the headphone jack.

rediculous.
You forgot to mention The Man. The concept of The Man is essential to all sixties-flavored artistic-integrity rants.
Peace.
And Microsoft wouldn't have had a patch out if iTMS was theirs for another six months.

How about friday night about 18 hours after the hack/hole was out !! And it was reported several places yesterday.
...
This JUST in, slashdot can be slow to report
Maybe you just hold the shift key down when you download
for crying out loud
So how long before I'm not permitted by law to modify data which I have paid for... and if that happens how much longer will it take before its the cops hall you off for highlighting your textbook.
I read about this on suicidegirls.com last night, and Slashdot is only posting it now.
When a pr0n site beats you to a story, your tech reporting needs work.
Quick! He's pointing out our biases! Silence him!
If this heresy is allowed to continue, our saviour Jobs will take note and delay his second coming.
Quick friends, help me gather firewood and petrol and we will burn this unbeliever before his sacrilegous cancer can spread amongst the faithful!
BTW has anyone ever considered themselves a 'programming artist'?
:)
Yeah. Donald Knuth [stanford.edu], Professor Emeritus of The Art of Computer Programming at Stanford University.
Heh. I would love a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Programming to go with my Bachelor of Science in Music.
(Dupe posting because mods who didn't get the joke are a little too quick on the "Off topic" trigger today.)
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Jessica is hotter.
I know I can't and I think that's intentional too....
Well, ok, they're both hot...
"Do you have any documantation of the "mediocre quality" claim?"
Yes. The act of lossy compression throws away some of the music. First today is phase information, second to go is all the harmonics, third to go is the complexity of the music.
"It sounds just as good as CD to me."
You ask for documentation, and then turn around and say "gee, mediocre music sounds just as good as CD's on my crappy apple-brand ear buds".
What a revelation. My god. King of the clueless.
Some people would be content to be ignorant and keep it to themselves. Not you...you parade it like you're proud of not understanding the magic technology in your iPod-magic-box. Ignorance to you is more than bliss, its a badget of courage that lets you say to anybody with an ear or a clue "Hey you, I can't tell the difference between FM radio and a CD, and I'm gawdamn proud of it".
All hail the power of no-nothing. The land where ignorance is king, and anybody who challenges that is just stupid, or whiny or a geek or something that threatens your iPod (which is Apple supplied Magic).
Cripes. No wonder the world is a screwed up place. There's probably more than the one of you out there.
