Rotten Apple

Just a quick rant about everybody's favourite figure of hate (apart from the apple tarts) the Evil Empire of Apple. My only two experiences (very poor) of Apple products are my iPod mini, which resulted in being sent back for replacement as it was broken at time of delivery, and in connection with that hardware, iTunes.

iTunes is OK as a tool for organising and playing my mp3 files, and I've even used the store to buy a handful of tunes I couldn't get elsewhere, but what the hell is up with it's software updates? Hardly a month goes by it doesn't need an update and here's what really pisses me off, no matter how small the functionality change or security fix required (Apple seems to need an ever increasing number of security fixes) you have to download and re-install the full package. This months update required a 58.4Mb download and all to stop people from ripping a ringtone. Is iTunes so badly programmed that any change needs a full application download and re-install?

Any twat that clapped me walking into a shop like a bleating sheep would get a slap for their trouble and what's all this toot about genius employees? I'm the only genius in Scotland and I don't work in a fecking shop!

Yeah, I'm in a foul mood about Norn Iron's defeat in Latvia.
