The update will pack a color version of the classic arcade game: Tetris. Users will be able to use the iPod photo’s click-wheel to move the tetris blocks horizontally while the iPod click-button performs block rotation.

Of course, Chapin isn’t saying how to pull it off. Chapin says the flaw is simple enough, so simple in fact, that it is easier to download the free, stolen track than to pay for it. Making this more useful, the stolen music is not truly from the Yahoo Music Unlimited service, but rather the music that costs 79 cents per song and comes without any copy protection or restrictions.

P2Pnet says they received an email from Yahoo where Yahoo indicated that after seeing what the problem is, they have determined that it does not expose any sensitive user information, just free music, so that it is not serious, although they are looking into how to fix it. Looks like Yahoo has its priorities in the right place.
