iPod team unhappy about adding contacts feature?
Now that iPod users have figured out how to use the iPod to store contacts,
Apple has added the same functionality with updated iPod software.
There’s a clue, however, that the iPod team may not be terribly happy
about having to cram this quite tangential feature into their svelte
product. Take a look at the name in that screenshot: Alan
Smithee. Where have you heard that name before? Yes, it’s the name used by disgruntled
film directors to distance themselves from projects over which they
have “lost creative control” to the studio.
So if you notice a film directed by Alan Smithee, it is certain it is
not what its director intended, and likely that it is not any good.
