Genius Feature for TV and Movies Pulled From iTunes 8.1
Several GeekWebGuides readers have pointed out that the extension of the iTunes "Genius" feature to include movies and TV shows does not appear to be present in iTunes 8.1. The feature was advertised on Apple's site prior to the release of iTunes 8.1 and is still mentioned in the release notes that accompany the download.
References to the updated Genius feature have been removed from the "iTunes A to Z" features page, and Apple has revised their "What's New" page, replacing the Genius section with details on the extension of Autofill to all iPods.
The reason for the removal of the feature remains unknown, although it certainly appears that it was a last-minute decision.
