Genius is the oddest thing. Its extremely non-Apple-ish. I mean, the first time you update to a version of iTunes that has it there is this huge fucking side bar with a giant Genius logo and a sort of tutorial kind of thing. Its so obnoxious and cluttered. Clearly Jobs must have been on sick leave that day because it reminds me of Real Player or something else advertiser driven. Its especially odd and out of place to see it on an actual Mac. Macs don't come with "trial versions" of anything, no shortcuts to demos of crappy games or Norton stuff on the Desktop...yet here is "Genius". I think the original idea was to make it like Pandora...but its a terrible alternative to Pandora. Its just an Apple Music Store informercial. Obviously I turned it off, and haven't seen anything of it since then.
