iTunes - adrift on a sea of cack?

I own an iPod Touch…it’s a great device and all the millions of words that have been written around the web on it, I’m not going to add further on it except to say I think it’s great…but!

iTunes sucks ! It’s the worst bloated sluggish piece of desktop software I’ve seen in the last 5 years. When it updates itself it’s patches are enormous, it loses it’s connections to Apple’s own ‘Remote’ applet on my Touch, it can’t remember where I like to navigate to in the UI as any decent portal should…ugh the list goes on and and on.

Then there’s the content and here the Register comes up trumps ! When the cheaptards continue to keep buying poorly-written, crash-prone, resource-hogging applications “…because they’re only 59p !” where’s the incentive for the gimps that knock these out to really innovate and take this platform to another new level ?

Sigh…

Next time…read the small print

Apple has recently polished up it’s Safari for Windows browser codebase into some less reminiscent of an alpha-hackfest (much like it was when i tried their original release on a clean vista machine some months back) and have now slipped it in below the radar on many people’s machines as an automatic download/update on iTunes & Quicktime.

However the disclaimer and EULA you have to sign up for is a beaut…

Safari EULA conundrum

Now click accept on that in good faith…:0)
