Nothing like a good old-fashioned witch hunt spurred on by the likes of 60 Minutes to start off a Monday morning. Next thing we know, Snowden will be some kind of closeted pervert who likes to kick puppies.

The recent availability of the patch is hardly reason to believe that everyone's already deployed it, which is I'm sure why there's still so much secrecy surrounding this.

"Without disclosing the change to customers, Apple has locked the TV Out feature of the iPod classic and video-capable iPod nano, preventing users from outputting iPod content to their TV sets as has been done in years past. Going to the Videos > Settings menu brings up a TV Out option that is now unresponsive when clicked, showing only the word "off." When locked, video content will display on the iPod's screen, but not on your TV or portable display accessory."

Apparently the only way the feature still works is if you are using hardware that has an Apple authentication chip in it, which is currently only in Apple-branded accessories and a small amount of 3rd party resellers. Not surprisingly, the new video cables Apple will be selling for the new video ipods will retail for $50."
