\niTunes 10<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nSo far 11.7 billion songs have been downloaded from iTunes. At the same
\ntime, 450 million TV episodes and 100 million movies have also been
\ndownloaded, as well as 35 million books. <\/p>\n

\nThe 10th major version of iTunes features a hybrid view that displays
\nalbum artwork if you have five songs from the same album. Apple also
\nadded a feature to help users discover music with a technology called
\nPing, a social network for music, according to jobs. “Facebook and
\nTwitter meet iTunes,” he said, which is built into iTunes, that allows
\nyou to follow your favorite music and friends and find out what they’re
\ndownloading and talking about. It will include a Top 10 chart
\ncustomized with information about the people who you’re following. It
\nalso features security controls allowing you to be as private or as
\npublic as you prefer in sharing your data with a wider circle of
\nfriends or the public.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At least, if you work in music, you can claim that messing around with your friends on iTunes all day is <\/i>work? I will not be participating, since I don’t need anyone knowing that the last thing I bought on iTunes was “Skidrow (Downtown)” from Little Shop of Horrors<\/i>, because I simply could not live without hearing it at 2am the other night. These are the things I like to keep private. And then blog about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
