Looking good...

However: This is definitely a mockup (made by Apple, though) and not a screenshot. The resolution of the actual display is lower.

Apple releases iTunes 4.7

You can get it here at apple.com/itunes/download. While the software doesn't seem to be necessary in order to access the iTMS in new countries, it's sure recommended to use the newest version possible. This version is also needed for the new iPod Photo. One new feature for other users, too, is the automatic finding of double songs. (Gotta try that now...)

Mac OS X and Viri

There's been a lot of talk about Mac OS X security in the past 72 hours. The verdict: You're still safe, if you're using Mac OS X and keep it updated. If you really want to install an antivirus package on your Mac (maybe also because you don't want to send viri to your Windows using contacts accidentally), you might want to check out ClamXav. Might be of some use in the future, but also in the present. And be it only to provide you with a nice "nothing found" message... It's free, too. (Note: There still are some rough edges in the application and the installer, however, it should basically work fine. If you notice some window that doesn't seem to react, just quit the application/installer and restart it afterwards. Worked for me the second time around.)
