Apple

I have ling since been at odd with apple, but recently they have pissed me off enough to deserve a good ole fashion blog caning. Don't get me wrong, the iPod is a great invention, and mine gets used thoroughly, but apple have gone too far.

When I reinstalled my OS, I looked for alternatives to lots of mandatory software, iTunes being one of them. I found songbird. A neat little program that is basically identical to iTunes, except isn't run by apple. It also doesn't ask me to update every 8 or 9 seconds and overall fulfilled my needs nicely. Unfortunately, iPod syncs became tricky. You have to download this freeware, and its do-ab;e, or I should say was, but it turns out apple have actually gone out of there way to make this impossible. The songbird staff had to abandon the idea because apple were being little bitches about it. So I had to reinstall iTunes, very reluctantly. my next thought was WHATTHEFUCK90MBFORTHISSHIT? what is all that space used for? It makes no sense when every other program is less than 10MB. Then it opened in the wrong screen and added all therse sidebars and toolbars i didn't want then asked me to update, as usual. Not a good start iTunes. Then while I'm listing to music, it closes itself and asks me to shut down. WTD?

Don't even get me started on iPhones...

  2. WORST RAGE EVER. Like honestly if your going to rage at itunes for its SIZE you really need to get a life. Also its your fail fault for installing toolbars as its optional upon installation. As for shutdown lots of programs need a restart for updates its a windows problem, so if you are really hung up about that go by yourself a MAC, fag.

  3. my point about file size is legit. I am saying that iTunes is poorly constructed, as it required 90MB to be 10MB of program. Supporting Macs makes u an instamacfag

  4. No your size point is not legit. What do you know about program construction, TBH itunes does alot more then songbird and if you look at other media players itunes is not the only one with a comparably larger file size? And as if the size is even a promblem, your computer had shit loads of room. No it does not make me a macfag, i'm am just pointing out the very obvious fault in windows machines, it has been around forever, Unix based systems have their advantages and this is one of them noob.
