This week: Everyone’s favorite media player’s newest incarnation: iTunes 9!

Q: I have a question about “Genius Mixes”; Why does my “Rock Mix 2″ play some tracks over and over?

A: That’s a good question. But you know what a better question would be?

Q: Ummm…

A: Something more like, “hey, where did you get that absolutely beautiful MacBook Pro?”

Q: So, did you get a MacBook Pro?

A: Or an even better question would be, “Hey, did you win some sort of major award at your place of employment, and then use part of the proceeds of that major award to purchase an absolutely stunning 15″ MacBook Pro?”

A: Wait, what? I was too busy turning the lights off and watching my keyboard light up.

Q: My point exactly.

1. State holiday, work adjust day for working 16 hours in one day last week, one day home sick, one day allowed to go home early because I’d just become the first employee of my department to win my employer’s most prestigious award [↩]
