In any case, the poster has problems with iTunes because of NOD32 - it is on Apple's list of software known to have an issue with iTunes. Some people have success by adding exceptions for iTunes.
iTunes replaces quite a few standard Windows services. Until a few versions ago there was a DNS resolver service, but I think it has been built into the client now. Yeah, iTunes does its own DNS lookups for some reason.
Presumably you mean mDNSResponder.exe - ie multicast DNS / bonjour which is used to discover other iTunes libraries on your network.
Why is this modded down?
No.
Regardless, this is fucking annoying now. Noon passed. Enough already.
Traditionally, you only have until noon to play an April fool prank. After that, the prankster is the fool.
Not least because noon passed in every timezone some hours ago.
I'd hope a 320mbit stream would sound *incredible* - maybe not 230 times the quality of CD such a bitrate could offer, but enough to put even the analogue audiophile purists in their place!

Likewise, and in many cases the new guy is right. Of course, in some cases the new guy doesn't know anything, but there are many bad coders out there earning craploads as contractors.
Or daily rate. And yes, some contractors do work beyond the contracted hours if they get more out of the project than just the money...
I bitch about Windows 8, but its actually pretty good (I run it in a VM on OSX 10.8, and run Windows 7 at work). I have been using Start8 and Classic Shell (not sure which I prefer) but the default start screen is ok once you get used to it. My gripe is that the many things, such as the default PDF reader, are Metro apps which are confusing to get back to the desktop from; a big problem if you want to deploy it to "users". I'm sure they'll get used to it though.
In effect they are. Try running Windows 2000 on modern hardware (and XP isn't far off).
3.51 was great; sure, you had to deal with a load of applications not working properly (or at all) but it exposed a lot of the ones that were not written properly in the first place!
IMO the failure isnt the cost; it is that the integration has not been thought through.
When I open a PDF on Windows 8, from the desktop (for the first time), I do NOT expect to be transported into MetroLand, from which I cannot fathom how to get back to the desktop.
Touch interfaces are great. Supporting touch interfaces is a great idea. Windows 8 deployment of the idea is awful, however - the interface should augment an existing one not try and replace it.
