“Prevent iTunes web previews from opening iTunes automatically”

I went into the URLs section of RCDefaultApp (which is a preference pane), and disabled the following protocols: itms:// (this seems to be the most prevalent in my limited testing), itunes:// and itmss:/

It works. Hallelujah.

(That issue was particularly grating as I do my web browsing on my iMac but run iTunes on the Mac mini, so I have zero interest in having iTunes load up on my iMac when I’m reading web pages and following unlabeled links from a tech blog. But I can’t uninstall iTunes on the iMac as I need to sync my iPhone’s address book once in a while.)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
