As with all good spoofs, it is built round the truth - in this case the embarrassing plausibility that Apple nuts like us would drool over almost anything they choose to put on the market.<BR/><BR/>The item also filled the yawning chasm of new announcements at the Mac Expo. Perhaps Apple engineers are all too busy working on a new personal cancer detector/remover.<BR/><BR/>But the good news is that iTunes is going DRM-free. So no more laborious converting of copy protected songs via iMovie before I can upload them to the 'Spill.
