iTunes Genius UI: Who designed this?

This is the login for the new Genuis feature in iTunes:

Genius login

Genius login

It took me 10 minutes to figure out that the AOL radio button was not associated with the text field next to it. I was assuming it was a separate login if you wanted to use an AOL ID instead of an Apple ID, and leaving it blank. I never even saw "password"; the logos are so dominating. Anyone else run into this?

Seriously Apple, do some user testing on your products before releasing them.

Same issue here. A good example of the brain seeing what it wants to see!
