... to filter out people who think they are so good they don't need to test or even interview for a job. This way we keep our team full of humble people who actually want to work here. We got the test off the web, I'm not even sure which language it's in....:-)
So when is someone going to put a Gnutella front end onto an iTunes proxy? Would certainly deal with a lot of the complaining about 4.0.1
Totally agree with the comments about ssh tunelling by the way, this means I can still play music from my home store at work. Besides, how many people are lucky enough to (a) work from a Mac, and (b) have enough bandwidth at home to usefully play this stuff?
The only thing iTunes 4.0.1. stops is blatant library sharing with strangers. Apple dodges the legal responsibility (blame the law & the music industry, not Apple) which is a Good Thing and whomever comes up with an iTunes Proxy will join the Gazaa/Gnutella/Limewire, thus drawing away the packs of lawyers from Apple.
How long did we think making music library sharing so simple that non-techies could do it would last before it was smote by the lawyers? Seriously? The cat is now out of the bag, but until copyright law is more balanced, it will take individuals who can evade the lawyers to produce the interface between your music and the outside world.
