Apple to iPod owners: "Eat shit and die"

If you're an iPod user, you would have done well to have availed
yourself of iPod Download, an OS X app that made it easy to move your
music from your iPod to your Mac. Of course, Apple hated that poor
little app, so it was sometimes hard to find, as Apple devoted
expensive laywer-hours to shutting down all the sites that were
hosting copies of it. Of course, there's more dough where that came
from -- they'll just pass the cost on to you in your next iPod.

As it turns out, you're shit-outta-luck even if you managed to snag a
copy. That's because Apple just devoted some expensive engineering
hours to updating iTunes to version 4.7, with the "improvement" of
breaking iPod Download. That's right -- Apple's spending money seeing
to it that features are removed from your iPod. Thanks a whole lot,
Apple.
