Say no to Apple software update

We will not be forced upon, we will not allow it to be done to our PERSONAL computers. No tyrant can ever force me to “install 2 items” through a silly pop-up that pops up every now and then. I don’t want quick time, VLC is the ultimate player. Victory to VLC. I think ipods are ok, and itunes is probably good enough, but a 70 MB update? That would probably also require a PC restart, are you crazy? The last time I turned my desktop off was when there was a storm and the power went out for 2 seconds. No, this update will not happen in a world of free internet (actually, the one in which you have to pay 39.99$ per month for a DSL).

I’ll tell you a beautiful story of the kind hearted, fun loving, sexy-young-guy from Birmingham (me), who took an ipod to his wonderful cousin in Bhimavaram Town, India and dropped it on the hard tiled floor while giving it to his (my) cousin. So the Ipod made it back to Birmingham along with the kind hearted, fun loving, sexy-young-single-talented-guy (me again), stupid apple store told this guy that it would be 189$ to repair it, which is far higher than the price for which it was bought. Don’t even ask me about the warranty business “because it was bought on buy.com” but not from an “electronics store”, but the catch is it was dropped onto the floor and the Apple “associate” didn’t know that.

Finally, the point is if you don’t want to update your Itunes + quicktime software on your machine, you don’t have to. So next time without clicking “later” just select “edit -> preferences” and select “never”.

And for other duds without the understanding capacity of simple text on a beatiful background, here’s an image.

And now, both of you three(?), get back to work.
