iTunes Genius Sidebar Now Recommends Video
Ars Technica is reporting that Apple has flipped the switch on
the Genius sidebar for videos, activating the feature after an almost
two week delay, but without requiring that users download a new
version of iTunes. The feature had been cited in Apple's release notes
for iTunes 8.1 and on their iTunes Web pages, but didn't appear at
release. The Genius sidebar will now recommend videos to buy from the
iTunes Store based on anonymous user information that's uploaded to
Apple and compared to the purchases of other iTunes customers. Like
the Genius sidebar for music, this feature can be toggled on or off.
