Google to Include iTunes?
Baher Al Hakim writes "The Street suggests in a recent article that Apple is about to announce a deal with Google to offer Apple's iTunes Music service through Google's site.
The rumored deal would pair the nation's leading online music store with its leading search engine." Update: 08/13 22:00 GMT by T : Truncation untruncated.

What has the editors of
Hey OSTG! I'll be a Slashdot editor! I wouldn't mind posting news worthy stories in my spare time. Certainly better than what we have now. Instead of Google's latest update, I'll post real stories. Stories such as:
- Hackers steal your phones to ring up bills
- New improved spyware tactics that behave like trojans
- Latest court rulings on hackers who use keyloggers
- Huge ID Theft Ring Affects at least 50 banks
If not me, than at least someone who can do a real editors job. I do believe I'm not going to renew my subscription if this kind of crap keeps on. With all do respect Taco, Slashdot use to be a great site, but now all it is good for is the latest $MARKETER plug with an occasional news story to keep us coming back.Oh, and EMAILING THE EDITOR SEEMS TO HAVE NO FUCKING AFFECT

I'm a virgo and on Slashdot. Coincidence? Yes.
GNAA outreach program hailed as an overwhelming success.
Impi - GNAA PR Department, South Africa.
In a bold move to bridge cultural divides and to promote racial and sexual tolerance, GNAA president timecop, NAACP president Kweisi Mfumeq and the distributors and broadcasters of popular Naruto anime series embarked on an ambitious project to achieve these noble objectives.
The vehicle selected was the anime series Naruto. In collusion with the distributors on this series, it was agreed to not broadcast episode 146 for the week of August 1st to August 7th, 2005.
timecop proposed and executed the plan to provide an alternative viewing experience, which was aimed at reaching out to the targeted population, and bringing about the achievement of the goals of this project.
Spokesman for Nielsen Media Research Company, Armands Leimanis, estimated that 77439 people downloaded the torrent, which actually was the movie Gay Niggers from Outer Space masterfully disguised as Naruto 146. "Never in the history of mass media marketing has something been so successfully marketed on such a large scale in such a short period of time. timecop has succeeded in accomplishing what marketing gurus around the globe have been trying to do for decades. This is truly genius in motion."
timecop was unavailable for comment as he was on an expedition to photograph spiders.
Dattebayo, in a fit of rage at being excluded from this glorious endeavor, flipped out and made the channel #db on rizon.net +i (invite only) and +k (key). This led to the mass suicide of an estimated 16% of the Naruto viewing population. This is believed to be the single most damaging factor in limiting the distribution of GNFOS to the magical 100,000 leeches. NCAAP president Kweisi Mfumeq condemned Dattebayo's actions and compared them to the KKK and gay bashing organizations.
About Dattebayo and #db on Rizon:
#db is a neo-fascist translating group who foists its misguided translations of Naruto on the unsuspecting and naïve fans of this anime series, in an attempt to promote their own nefarious agendas.

"The Universe. Its mighty power. Its evolutionary force, not to be stopped by anyone. In its beauty, this, this is a happy place to stay, filled with harmony and cosmic joy. A free place, where men can express themselves, and be as when they were born. All of this is, because someone cares. Because someone looks after us. When we sleep, when we play. When we act natural. This is a movie about those who risk life, and partners, to guarantee living in a wonderful and free universe. This is a movie about the Gayniggers From Outer Space. The Gayniggers come from the planet Anus, in the 8th Sun System, far far away from here. They are much, much more intelligent than any other creature in the Universe. The most fascinating thing about them is that they, with the help of their super intelligence, and their highly developed telepathic system, Braintapping, will be able to create a world, a society, a perfect world to live in without the presence of women. A MALE ONLY WORLD."

A friend has a huge database of songs he bought from iTunes and they all sound a little off to me. I thought it was the speakers, or the equalizer at first.
But then I did a comparison of songs I had aquired by other means, and there is a definite difference in the sound quality; the itunes songs sound annoying (its hard to pin down exactly why, but its akin to sounding tinny).
I even converted my songs to the itunes format thinking the format was the issue. But they still sound good, while the downloaded songs he downloaded on itunes still sound bad.
Am I on crack or has anyone else noticed this?
Hmmm, a question about iTunes gets posted in a story about iTunes and that question gets modded offtopic.
Me thinks the modds are the ones on crack.
