    Since when did it become cool to hate U2? I can't keep up with what's cool and what's not. :doh:

        It became cool when Bono became pretentious.

        He's not pretentious... He's just tired of being Number Two[^] (Though honestly, I don't think I can name a single U2 song... They're musicians, right?)

          I've hated them for over twenty years, but that wasn't to be cool, that was because a lad at school thought they were the greatest thing ever and it really annoyed him to hate them.

              Good question. I like U2. But then, I also happen to like Windows8, so maybe it is because of me.

                  Likewise, some kids at school started a band and all they sang were U2 pieces of crap which was more than enough to make me a life long member of the shun the pretentious vanilla music band.

                      I am with you. I like U2 okay and I definitely really like Windows 8, but I was trying to be cool, by posting this. Please don't tell. :D

                          I bought their Josha Tree album for $1.00 US at a place called BuyBacks. Brand new for $1.00 US. Well, it's obvious they are disliked. I mean, $1.00? Well, I listened to it and it is quite poetic and some decent music and I listened to it quite a few times. I'm just so all confused about "with or without you..." I don't know. But it is a decent album. That one guy, maybe thte guitar player...he doesn't have a name? they just call him The Edge? Edge of what? Must be the pretentiousness. :D

                              That makes sense. That's why I never follow the person, I just listen to the music. I could not tell you the name of a single person of any of the music I listen to. Same thing with actors. Often times when you see how they are off camera it can be hard to like their movies anymore.

                                    I don't use the Ask toolbar anymore: It got once hidden behind my Google, Yahoo and AOL toolbar, and since then I cannot reach it, not matter how hard I click. I suppose this is some hidden feature in IE6. :sigh:

                                      Not if your "freedom" starts hurting other people's safety. Google, those that package Android on their phones and Android end-users all have a responsibility to the internet at large to be good citizens. When your phone gets hacked we all suffer directly or indirectly.

                                        We all knew iTunes was a virus and a darn nasty one too. But, now, iPhone, iPad, iEverything owners are learning that Apple has now released the Bono-Virus which fills up your drive and won't stop playing a cacophony of sound. :D Apple has released a special Virus Scanner to get rid of it. :) http://www.computerworld.com/article/2683672/apple-releases-ban-bono-tool-after-customers-complain-of-free-music.html#tk.rss_all[^]

                                        I know nothing about the Apple ecosystem, or this situation in particular, so no doubt I don't know what I'm talking about, but...am I the only one who thinks it's pretty messed up that Apple has to release an actual program that individuals have to download and run just to remove some unwanted album from iTunes? I mean, I keep reading that iTunes is actually a pretty awful piece of software, but I thought its first and foremost purpose was to, y'know, manage music...

                                          Very smart choice. DEACTIVATE!! :D Control what you get, instead of letting APPLE push it on you.

                                          Don't be ridiculous! Apple knows better! Don't you know that they invented the radius, which led to the invention of the wheel?!

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
