1) So are your songs/videos legal ?? As a SWAT officer, being caught with illegal materials isnt worth it...heh...Also what kind of example is that for me to be setting....I do buy songs and also rip my own cd`s into itunes, but mainly I buy episodes of Robot Chicken, Code Monkeys and paintball videos to watch....

2) Even on my slower machine Ive never had to wait for my library to load....Not sure what you mean on that one boss...

3) AVG and Windows Defender have never picked up iTunes sending out unless I make a request... Yes they (Apple) slip in their ads when they can, but its still better than the thousands of viruses on Limewire and similar programs... I fix PC`s on the side, and just from reformats and cleanups I almost paid for my kids Christmas due to peer-to-peer downoading virus issues....

4) I just tell it I dont want the toolbar and Safari when I install it....Done deal...

Im no fan of Apple by any means, but calling iTunes the worst program ever is a bit of a stretch...

he's not talking about the library loading... he's talking about updating... #2... it doesn't have to be stolen... but say u ripped music from a cd you had before... or someone had a playlist that saaay... you had before. or you liked... or... you wanted to borrow to listen to and if you liked it you would buy some of the songs on there... what happens when u attach you ipod/touch/phone to the computer? first thing it says is it is needs to delete everything in your phone cuz you can only be allowed to connect to 1 computer at a time.

and he's talking about updates... updates updates... from 1.010.101. blah blah blah. 4... to all but .5... and next week its .6... if its not itunes then its the player.

listen... there's this assumption that apples/mac's are not virus safe. the reason that rarely any virii are messing w/ apples... is plain and simply... it wasn't written for that type of machine. microsoft windows, are the most popular OS running on 95% of all computers world wide. (assumption on percentage) so why would you build a worm/trojan/spyware that only affects less than 1% of the systems? that's my opinion. correct me if im wrong.

like i said... not really flaming on iphone... just apple all together... and their misconception of better than thou attitude.

btw... itunes isn't the only place you can buy music and videos... so it doesn't matter if your swat, popo... deydey or jenny from the block... usage of itunes is not necessary. try zune...
