Good, because it's horrible. Key quote: "When it comes to software, Apple performs with less elegance than it does when it comes to hardware," said Colin Gillis, a New York-based BGC Partners analyst.

The minute I learned Apple scanned your iTunes library then provided versions from its own scanners for online streaming, I thought: nope. Here's the thing:

It's that last part I don't understand. I mean, I do, but why? Why take it off my computer? I know we're moving into a wonderful world where it doesn't matter where your data is, only how quickly you can access it, but for some of us belt / suspenders types reliance on the Cloud, on letting someone else handle it for you, is a lousy idea.

In related lousy ideas, this was my favorite phishing attempting this week . . .
