It's spring break this week, and I don't have the stomach to discuss the necrophilia going in Congress right now, so there's not much to post on. But a couple news items about Apple caught my eye, both from Mac Rumors.

First, the third-party iTunes Music Store interface, which was recently released, PyMusique, has already been shut out by changes Apple made to the store's framework. But one interesting development has come of it -- apparently the files that are sent to you by iTMS do not include any DRM (digital rights management) restrictions on their use; the DRM is added by the iTunes application itself once the file arrives on your computer. I suspect this revelation will lead to yet more hacking by the iTunes hacking gurus.

Also, Apple will apparently be switching to a two-button mouse in the near future. Are there still Mac users out there who are using the bundled mouse? Apple hasn't introduced a good mouse in ten years, so hopefully this gets them back on track.
