Comment on Here’s What’s Behind the Samsung/Apple Patent Showdown by andy

Hang on a sec - the tab has always had a camera right, and was out before the ipad2? So is the iPad2 not just copying the tab?! FFS Apple - get off your high horse and stop being such petulant pricks about everything

Comment on How-To: One iTunes Library With Multiple Computers by Andy

I haven't tried this method yet - here's my method, but it seems to have a pitfall. can you tell me if yours has a similar problem before i undo what i've done? My set up is one iMac, with two user accounts, which we never log out of - just using fast user switching, so both accounts are semi permanently logged in. I also have a NAS. I dropped all my mp3s etc into a folder on the NAS, and then set about mapping iTunes' prefs to point to it. The problem comes in here. Because both users are logged in, it'll actually mount a second instance of the NAS - which means the path is slightly different for each user. For user 1 it'll be /vol/music/ For user 2 it'll be /vol/music-1/ which is fine, until you restart the mac and log into user 2 first, and launch itunes, because the NAS mount now is music - not music-1, so iTunes won't be able to find anything. the reason I've done this is so that each user can maintain their own iTunes stats (playcounts, playlists etc). It's fine, as long as I never log out, or if i do make sure that one account logs in first. Will your procedure solve this issue? THANKS IN ADVANCE :)
