It doesn't seem to matter how experienced a user you may be with iTunes, there is always some part of it that just doesn't make sense.

Although developers and engineers from the micro-blogging service Twitter will be present at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference this month, it looks as though it will be the social networking behemoth Facebook that will ultimately steal the conference’s limelight.

Although this week was meant to be all about Samsung with the release of the long-awaited Galaxy S III powerhouse, Apple - as it does - has unwittingly spoiled the party as the tech world becomes engrossed by leaks of the upcoming iPhone device.
As if there wasn't already a million reasons why this year's JailbreakCon will be one of the most unmissable events this year, Pod2g has confirmed his attendance at HITBConfSec, and add to that the inclusion of Chronic Dev Team member Pimskeks, and you've pretty much got every member of the Chronic Dev Team on board.
