A new poll from Kensington, which produces computer accessories, has found that IT professionals feel undervalued and overworked in their organizations. Here, have a cookie. You'll feel better.
Or maybe a beverage of some sort...

|
|
What else is new?
It's because "they" don't know what they don't know.
If they did, they would be more appreciative or maybe even stay home in the fetal position scared to touch a computer.

And some idjit got paid for that poll.

Japan’s flagship astronomical satellite Hitomi, which launched successfully on 17 February but tumbled out of control five weeks later, may have been doomed by a basic engineering error. It was the old "off-by-one" (satellite) error

Riiight... like it's not really a secret spy satellite.

On April 28, 2003, Apple started up a revolution. If it's broke, why bother fixing it?

Pretty much been about 10 years since I've used it

Isn't it funny that my date for last used iTunes is still nil.

What is this iTunes you speak of?

I've used iTunes on my Mac for the last 7 years and it's always worked flawlessly - yet I see these kind of comments all the time.
I'm curious, what exactly do so many people hate about it? And what do they use in place of it?
Back when I used Windows at home I seem to recall WMP was nothing to rave about.
|
|
|
|

/shrug It works for me too, but I'm the worst one for testing software - if it's not actively broken (like Windows is for me at the moment), I'm willing to live with just about anything.
I know Hanselman complains that "working with iTunes is like managing your music library with Excel" (or something like that).
And yeah, anything said about iTunes can also apply to WMP, as it was a pretty direct copy. But then again, I don't know if people are even using it for their music anymore.

As Windows Media Player has been around since 1991, while iTunes has been around since 2001 (making the headline article a bit crap at maths), I don't really see how WMP can be the copy.

I wasn't sure which software you were referring to because you used the shortened name.
It's full name is: iTunesVirus.

I never tried it. I never saw a reason to line the pockets of Apple executives when YouTube has everything I'll ever need.

I always thought Apple was awful, but iTunes is, by far, the worst piece of crap software I've ever dealt with...
I remember that time I just installed iTunes, just to try it out. First thing it did was sync my (full 160GB) iPod with my (still empty) iTunes library (didn't even ask if I wanted that!)

(Unfortunately, the web site has been saying "There's More Coming Soon" for quite a while now. Too bad the owners don't spin it off as open source.)

Yeah, I was sad to see it go, but when the site was updated with "More Coming Soon" I was excited!
Too bad "Soon" turned out to be somewhere between now and infinity
You can still download the latest stable version though (5.666).
I think it was somehow optimized for playing Iron Maiden!
