autocratic for the people.

Intelligent Design.

I was listening to a podcast just now in my car, on an iPod. When I arrived at home, I paused the iPod, carried it inside, and unthinkingly set it in its cradle. Ten minutes later I sat down at my computer, located the podcast in iTunes, and hit Play, expecting to spend a few minutes scanning around the recording to try to find where I'd left off.

But instead, it just continued from where I'd paused it. It continued playing, on a desktop computer, from where I'd paused it on an iPod, in a car.

Kudos to Apple for supporting the uncommon use case.
