Is Apple’s Itunes pushing updates to aplications without asking?

Ok I had a rather curious issue today when updating and syncing my Ipod Touch. Possibly this is happening to many more than me and I just have not heard about it but I was presented with the follow download queue..

2008-08-25_152853

Pretty normal for the most part, except for the fact that the only downloadable updates were for the app Dizzy Bee and Enigmo. There was no mention of the other three application updates nor did I need to click to download them.

Are other peopel seeing forced updates without the users consent?

I assuem somehwere in the little print there is somethig that says "We Apple are authorized to force update whaever we want to your device”, I must have missed that…

Would like to know if others have seen this? Or if this is a new practice as of the latest firmwae revision.

Our series on the basic forces of the cosmos continues! Last week we discussed gravity, and this we'll handle electromagnetism. Electricity and magnetism are just two aspects of the same force, and you can't talk about astronomy without understanding these two keys aspects of physics. No comments
