Because it's maybe the most prevalent piece of software that exists today, save for web browsers and Microsoft Office?
This is a discussion about an iPhone app, located in iTunes, and the browser URL points to apple.com. Everything points to you should have known before clicking where it was going. Furthermore, it's not like Apple fucks up your machine if you clicked and didn't have iTunes. It just told you you couldn't see the page, which is true.
- tptacek 17y agoNo, it just pulls focus off my HN window, changes Spaces desktops, pops off whatever was selected in iTunes before and replaces it with a link to a $49.99 iTunes app.
- unalone 17y agoHm. Yes, that could be irritating. I have iTunes set not to take focus, though, and I don't use Spaces (OT: Might I ask you how you set it up to work efficiently for you? I'm always curious about stuff like that), so I guess I hadn't thought much about how other people might experience the link.
- mahipal 17y agoI set up Spaces right when I got my Macbook, and it's hugely helpful. I assigned each of the major apps I use (Firefox, Terminal, Xcode, and Photoshop) to a different space. Combine Spaces with SizeUp [ http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ ] for optimal window management. Throw in Quicksilver and you don't even have to remember which Space holds which apps.
- unalone 17y agoI just don't see the advantage to dividing them. Isn't it easier to run in single-window mode.
