iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked 725
fooishbar writes "Yesterday, Apple released iTunes 4.5, which deliberately broke the 4.2 authentication scheme, which had been successfully reverse-engineered. However, crazney has been at it again, and within 24 hours of downloading iTunes 4.5, has broken the new scheme, and added more features to this library along the way. If you want to incorporate iTMS support in your program, give libopendaap a go!" Reader ScottGant submits this story about the Pepsi/iTunes promotion: "News.com has this story about Pepsi's iTunes promotion give-away. The promotion,
which is slated to end this Friday, was to have given away 100 million
tracks through Apple's iTunes
music site. But according to Apple on Wednesday, only about 5 million
free songs have been redeemed."

Gee, you mean that big icon on the main page of the music store, consisting of a Pepsi symbol with the text "REDEEM SONG", wasn't obvious enough, Mr. Savvy? Heeeere's your sign.

So iTunes is a failure.
Let's close it up. Unplug the servers and shut down the site.
They haven't sold enough Macs either, so let's close that down too. Can't make a dime unless they're the #1 record-setting, fastest-growing business in the history of civilization.

It wasn't on Mt. Dew. (Score:2, Funny)
They surely would have reached all 100 million if they had put the codes on bottles of Mt. Dew as well
