iTunes-Virus Superceded By Bono-Virus

Since when did it become cool to hate U2? I can't keep up with what's cool and what's not. :doh:
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
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!"

Nah, you've got that wrong. It's actually derived from a quote from Igor: "I tunes people's brainses into the machineses."
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
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.

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...

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

Or 7-Digital if you don't want to be mugged into Prime.

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

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.
