iTunes-Virus Superceded By Bono-Virus

Why ? Lotus Notes is working nicely on it, and the bitching about security is nonsense, since I have installed Norton Antivirus.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Okay, wait a second...Lotus Notes? You went WAY too far with that. :D

Do you also allow the Ask toolbar to be installed when updating Java? :laugh:
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
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.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

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?!

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

It's neither cool nor uncool. They're just cr@p.

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

Well, that doesn't work. You'll have to either convert to apple fanboiism, or become a Bieber buddy.

Nah, you've got that wrong. It's actually derived from a quote from Igor: "I tunes people's brainses into the machineses."

U2 was performing in Ireland; Bono stood up and started clapping his hands, slowly "Every time Oi clap moi hands, a choild in Africa doise!" Comes the call from the audience: "So stop f**kin doin it then!"

I bought a Beatles album on i-tunes for windows. It was restricted to that machine only(a virtual machine), which was pathetic. Let's face it, I don't generally use Windoze or Apple. So I downloaded my property from YouTube instead.

Everyone hate everything here .... :rolleyes:
I'd rather be phishing!
I just checked and it is all still in the cloud. As far as I am concerned it can stay there. Didn't ask for it. Don't want it. Hmph!
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Actually, that is the software's second purpose and that is why the software is so bad. I can definitely see how you'd be confused. Especially if you've never used The iTunes Virus. You would definitely believe it is software for managing music. It's first purpose is to manage the human who bought the music. It's all about controlling when, where, how and who can listen to the music that you bought. On the other hand if you buy music from Amazon, then you can just download the MP3s and manage them yourself. More freedom! :D

Why not just buy the CD? Then you can rip the songs to whatever format you want and use them on whatever device you want.

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.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
I've hated them since they first existed, simply because Edge can't play the guitar and Bono... well, you just can't fix something like that.
