A Series of Tubes

I use the iTunes Music Store a lot, and to increase the variety of songs I hear I use the “Just For You” feature. No, I don’t listen to radio, because I can’t find any radio stations that play the kind of stuff I like. I use Pandora a lot, but after a while that starts to repeat as well.

So like I was saying, iTunes Just For You. It looks at what you’ve bought and listened to, and recommends songs to you. This post isn’t really about the feature, just a little tidbit I found out about the JFY feature.

That title piece that says “Just For You” up in the corner (in a very un-Apple font, I could add)? The one that looks like this:

This is what it used to look like:



In fact that was just recently replaced with the fixed logo. It is kind of funny, becuase we’re so used to seeing finished products that look great we don’t even notice when something’s off unless we’re actually studying the image.

For those of you who don’t yet see what I mean, here’s another image:


Observe the reflection.

Yeah, in the old one the reflection starts out fine (under the U), but then it turns out it’s actually signifigantly shorter than the words it is reflecting at the end (under the rest of the title). Tee hee.
