Ever since Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion, Notification Center has been ported over from iOS to live in the screens of our Mac computers.

It used to be that Notification Center displays alerts of things we commonly would like to be notified about, e.g. calendar events and Facebook or Twitter updates but new versions of iTunes now include a radio track banner notification whenever iTunes changes tracks.

Whilst this feature may be loved by some (you can skip songs by clicking the “Skip” button in the radio track banner that appears), there is respite for those who prefer not to be annoyed by trivial notices.

The iTunes track notification can be switched off from inside the iTunes Preferences General Tab:

Users can switch off the feature completely by unchecking the “When song changes” checkbox in the Notifications section.

In 1978, founders Matt and Hendricks were looking for a tech event to showcase their new startup. When they couldn’t find one that checked all the boxes they decided to host their own. As they were organizing things, they soon realized they needed somewhere to promote the conference, and that’s how newsweb.com was launched. It later became a blog and the result is what you are looking at right now.
