The most annoying feature in iTunes 10 for many users is the new Ping social network. For those that have chosen not to use the service,
Apple has made it difficult for users to disable the service buttons
polluting the interface. In the latest version of iTunes 10, Apple took
it a step further and displays a Ping button next to every selected
song.
