Remove the iTunes 8 Store Arrows
Just when you thought it was safe to upgrade, Apple’s new version of iTunes turns on one of it’s most annoying features – and removes the option of disabling it. Yep, I’m talking about those nasty gray icons in your song list linked to the iTunes Store.
You used to be able to uncheck “Show Links to Music Store” under Preferences -> General. I guess Apple really really wants you to buy buy buy!
After a few Google searches I discovered threads about removing this “feature.”

It’s a shame that must revert to these kind of fixes to customize the user experience…
also, you can no longer remove the genre window without going into terminal.
here is what to type/paste into a terminal window…
defaults write com.apple.itunes show-genre-when-browsing -bool FALSE
