...BTW I was referring to you avatar. ]]>Sep 9th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Have you forgotten all the problems that happened to iTunes when version 7.0 was released??
I don't need a "genius" to patronise what i listen to!
New Nano looks ok though.

I cannot find a way to turn that off]]>Sep 9th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/
And iTunes 8 is up.]]>Sep 9th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/
Yep. Looks like they removed the option to hide the links. The help file still tells you how to do it but the option is no where to be found. So this update we get two giant steps toward iTunes becoming a giant in your face marketing tool for the store... I guess in Apple's defense, you can at least hide the genius sidebar. But seriously, is it a genius for the user or for Apple's marketing and sales teams? I lean toward the latter.

iTunes 8 Help File:

To hide links to the iTunes Store:
Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click General.
Deselect "Show links to the iTunes Store."

Go into Edit/Preferences, then under the Parental Control tab, check "Disable iTunes store".

Dumb move, Apple. By changing iTunes to have annoying links to the store all over the screen, you're encouraging us to make it so we NEVER go to the iTunes store ever again.]]>Sep 10th 2008 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/
But I agree, if you're watching every episode on it, or trying to build an archive, $2 per episode is steeper than just buying and ripping the DVDs, or obtaining them via alternate methods.]]>Sep 9th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/- Free Bittorrent? Bittorrent is a hassle for those people who don't have a dedicated media server or HTPC configured for the task.
- Free OTA? Unless you want to schedule your life around the network's arbitrary broadcast schedule, you need a TiVo/PVR/DVD-Recorder etc and program it *before* the show airs (and how do you know if a new show is worth recording and watching until after it has aired and people start talking about it?).
Either way, it's not as convenient nor immediate as iTunes.]]>Sep 9th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/
"how do you know if a new show is worth recording and watching until after it has aired and people start talking about it?"

Wow, talk about living your life as a sheeple. You can't even decide what you want to watch on TV, that you need someone else to watch it first and then tell you to watch it?]]>Sep 9th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/Sep 9th 2008 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/apple-launches-itunes-8-nbc-comes-back-tv-shows-at-1-99/
Fuck man it is a REAL HASSLE...i mean i have to type in a website, search and download.

screw that, its just too difficult!
Instead i will pay to watch the show, with worse quality and i cant burn to a dvd or do anything with it.

I cant understand how you can defend paying for the show:S
