iTunes' Grey Screen of Death
Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 11:21AM 
On the assignment board here at TDL, it looked like a good way to spend an hour: I planned on watching Southland on iTunes, and write about it being available on iTunes ahead of its TV debut (tonight). But that's when it happened: The iTunes Grey Screen of Death: iGSOD. The computer I chose to watch the new release on is an original MacPro attached to a DVI monitor. And guess what? along with reports of issues playing content on dvi monitors on new Macs with DisplayPorts, It turns out a firmware upgrade from two years ago could be the culprit keeping MacPro users from watching HD movies/TV (interestingly, clips downloaded pre 8.1 play fine.)
Oh well, I guess I'll just watch it on TV. You know, that big screen in the living room that digital downloads could make obsolete if it wasn't for silly issues like this.
