you mean, under the store menu? :) - Carlos Urrutia

Oh it's no mistake. In usability terms it means they don't want you shutting it off. The more Genius understands what you listen to, the more accurately they can market music and other things to you. It's a genius marketing tool (pun intended). That said, I always turn it OFF. - Dave Friedel

I usually leave it on and will use ti to create playlists for me from time to time. sometimes its makes similar choices as I would. Sometimes not. :) - Carlos Urrutia

I turn off my genius by drinking beer. - Jason Wong from iPod

My genius is always off...iTunes? What's that? - Ghworg

Usability-wise if I'd handed in something Apple-inspired as part of my MSc project I'd have fucking FAILED. Ever heard of tooltips? Or oh...I dunno, fucking labels for buttons, Apple?! - Amy

Carlos: Oh, yes, under the 'store' menu coz that's where I'd expect something that compiles MY OWN FUCKING MUSIC into playlists for me to be. Ofc, how stupid of me. I HATE ITUNES. Aaaaaaaaaaaand BREATHE. *sits in meditation pose* - Amy

you should use songbird - Fee501st

or use doubletwist, it will sync to your ipod http://www.doubletwist.com/dt... - Fee501st

I did use songbird. Until I got to the part where you can't use your itunes-bought songs without burning them and ripping them again. Plus everyone and their fucking dog LOVES Apple so I thought 'Give it another go' - Amy

Plus you still need to have itunes installed to update the firmware, or to use that nike + thing (If, for some reason, I am possessed to go running in the rain I want a frigging record of it). - Amy

C'mon, Amy, you know you want an iPhone now... *evil cackle* - Thomas

Ewww! - Amy

A cochlea. - Dave Friedel

It figures, you loon :) - Carlos Urrutia

What's an iron? - Dave Friedel

Screw you 360. I've had it. Microsoft can eat a big one. I'm getting a PS3. No, Microsoft, let's not get a browser for the 360. Instead, let's partner with Twitter, Last.fm, and Facebook to make apps that run like 'games' inside the dashboard. That's much better than, say, putting a freaking browser in there. Hell, I'll even accept Internet freaking Explorer! Something? The hell with you. - Fleagle

Welcome to the dark side. :) - Amy

Fleagle I don't want to read into things, but I have to say you seem just an ever so slightly unhappy with them. Just a teeeeeeny bit. - Dave Friedel

Fleagle: PS3 has facebook too, apparently. Although I've not updated yet so I dunno what it's like. No twitter yet, and no Raptr capability beyond manual entry (if you're into that kinda thing) - Amy

AMY YOU ARE THE TOP BEST !!!! - vasilios palmas

lol, someone's excited about it anyway :) - Amy

That's the thing: You don't need Facebook, Twitter, etc. integration when you've already got a browser. Microsoft already has the browser patent (though it's the worst one), yet refuse to integrate it. Yes, all hyperbole aside, I hate them. - Fleagle

Might give browsing on the PS3 another shot with Firefox. I've used the browser on the PS3 before and I am not a fan. I'd rather do it on the iPhone than a console. - Jerry Perez

I suppose, but I think it's supposed to automagically update your facebook status (if you so choose). I used the browser to watch BBC iplayer (before the iplayer update), can't say I like the existing browsing much tho. Firefox would be an improvement. So would getting a keyboard...I need to do that. - Amy

If Hulu wasn't blocked thru the PS3 then it would be a major improvement. - Jerry Perez
