I can't fucking stand this type of BS
Called Rendezvous, the service enabled listeners and their friends to access one another’s music and listen to it ? but not download it ? from any computers. Hackers, however, had figured out how to download the music as well, creating programs with names like iLeach and iSlurp. So on Tuesday Apple sent out an update for its iTunes software, disabling Rendezvous and limiting music access to a user’s local network at home or at work.
Yes, New York Times, Rendezvous’ only function was iTunes music sharing across the internet. Gah. Rendezvous sharing is actually STILL enabled, but TCP/IP sharing is not. I hate tech writers. And John Gruber agrees with me: “They’re all a bunch of Jerk-offs.”
