iTunes 9 breaking AirTunes connections? {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2009 2:09PM The only thing that is consistently making me rage at iTunes 9 is the change to the green minimise/maximise button.
Before, it would conveniently switch between the mini-player and the normal player.

I am disappoint.

Aug 1st 2009 3:19AM Show of hands. How many people even use video calling on their phones?
Its been around for years now but I never see it used outside of demonstrations or people on crappy contracts with split video/voice minutes.
The fad died before it even started.
