After 9 months of not posting anything. I feel compelled to start writing here again… why?

Apple.

I’m getting really annoyed by them shoving Safari down my throat through the Apple Software Update service. If I wanted Safari, I’d go download it. You guys are getting as bad as Microsoft! I’m already forced to use IE for sites that don’t (for some DUMB reason) support Firefox (or times when I want to login to two different email accounts from the same provider… when is someone going to come up with a solution for that on Firefox? Some kind of cookie splitting or something…?)

Theres no option for disabling the Safari download in the Apple Software Update service and next week or maybe even tomorrow, my computer (and all the others I have iTunes installed on) will ask me once again if I want to install software that I’ve said time and again that I don’t want…

… And I was almost about to give in and buy an iPod…

…iTunes pissed me off lately too by somehow deciding to change my music genres from English into Japanese when I play a song… so now half of my music is Rock/Classic Rock etc… and the other half is ロック・クラシックロック 等 and its really pissing me off… Why the change? Did I ask it to fuck with my music? NO! Same with the default folder management that I didn’t know about when I first installed iTunes about two years ago… I still have music that now belongs to no artist and no album all just jumbled up in one folder because iTunes wasn’t smart enough to read the folder names to get Artist and Album titles… Winamp was smart enough… but now that software is bloated and buggy too. (and has a “pro” version. What is this world coming to?

Yea I’ve heard that Safari is now included in Auto-Updates, and it’s pissing a lot of people off.

I noticed some of my music had Japanese language genre’s too, but I didn’t know iTunes just did it on it’s own. It’s frustrating for me too. When I changed them back to English though I don’t think it forced the changes again.

I don’t mind the change to Japanese… i just mind that its all ばらばら now… and I can’t think of how to say ばらばら in English… other than saying “fucked up”
