No more no Radio?

Among all the hoopla about the iTunes MiniStore calling home and possibly (or not) giving away information about your musical tastes, and the assurances from Apple that none of this information is kept, and anyway, you can simply command-shift-m everything dubious away, what happened to the ability to show/hide the radio?



Wasn't there a check box to disable the radio item in the source list ? Seems nobody has picked up on this yet. Strange.

[UPDATE]
The checkbox has moved, as Leo from fscklog let me know. It's now under 'parental' in the prefs. My previous iTunes updates must have just retained the setting (in good Apple manner) without having me hunt for the checkbox. Good to know it's still there.

Core Duo

We've seen it, drooled over it, and are fumbling to pronounce 'MacBook Pro' at every turn. But say what you will, there is one thing that is enormously relieving: Intel may be on the inside... but it is not a Pentium!! What a timely change from them. I can live with 'core duo'.



'Core Duo' has a nice ring to it. It reminds me of the very first Apple laptop I owned, which was a Duo. Great little machine ! :) I wonder if Steve was pushing for a name change on Intels part. It's not a Pentium, not a Centrino, has a new swish logo that has an Apple like luster to it.. nice.
