Thanks, I'm not offended.

Something I didn't want Lady Steed to see, so probably something Twitter related. Likely the strain caused by the streaming had a lot to do with the crash, but it wasn't the immediate cause.<br /><br />I'm not sure iTunes would get the blame for the hypothetical you mention. Seems like Windows gets plenty of hate (<a href="http://refenestration.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">cite</a>). Myself, I usually blame the machine. That's my kneejerk. Or the parent program (by which I mean, I blame the browser not, for example, Flash). <br /><br />I'm computer literate, but that's all I am. I don't appreciate the true complications of what's going on under the hood. I just want it to work. And no computer really quite manages that, but I like to have lots of options for tinkering when things mess up, which is why I'm leery of Apples. The Apple laptop I'm typing on right now, for instance, only ejects disks via software. And that's a problem now that it's taken to pretending there's no disk inside. Would it have killed Apple to admit that sometimes it <i>doesn't</i>"just work" and given me a way to physically force it to eject a disk?<br /><br />I think my real problem with computers is that I like to drive cars 375000 miles before even considering getting rid of them. Computers aren't built for that kind of mileage. I'm expected to want a new one before my current one wears out, and I just don't view my purchases that way. I buy something, I want it to last a couple decades. But computers are American cars circa 1970. And probably will be for a while yet. Maybe forever.

And Apple computers are certainly not perfect. <br /><br />But you can't just switch the proper nouns around and have it make sense.<br /><br />For example, if iTunes running on Windows crashed, would you blame Microsoft? I think not, most people would (rightly) blame Apple for writing a buggy program. So why is it fair to blame Apple when WMP crashes on OS X?<br /><br />And faith-based maxims are actually pretty fun to argue against. =)Recession Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288371918529972744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-12251354112273704932010-04-06T17:45:04.348-07:002010-04-06T17:45:04.348-07:00.

Given I could swap all your proper nouns around and still have your complaints make sense, it sounds more like Apple jingoism than anything with actual data behind it. I assume you have data, but you haven't shared it yet. Given that I don't really like Safari as a browser anyway, I'm not very prone to accepting your claims as is.<br /><br />As you know, I'm an Apple skeptic; I'm particularly irritated by their it-just-works mantra which a) has not been my experience and b) is as impossible to argue against as any faith-based maxim.Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-46110397736585589462010-04-06T14:23:55.813-07:002010-04-06T14:23:55.813-07:00Even better.

Indeed, what incentive does MS have to make computing on Apple pleasant?<br />Certainly my experience with Office on OS X has been hellish. But it's hardly Apple's fault.Recession Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288371918529972744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-23468385106025123482010-04-06T12:02:03.878-07:002010-04-06T12:02:03.878-07:00.

Apple is tired of having its user experience ruined by Adobe's buggy software, so it is waging a war to exterminate Flash from the internet. So next time you complain about the iPad not having Flash, remember the pain Flash caused you when watching conference.Recession Conehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288371918529972744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-91598938894615712412010-04-05T22:11:38.153-07:002010-04-05T22:11:38.153-07:00.
