Apple’s Poor Release of iTunes 7

Hello.

I hope you had a great weekend.

Over the weekend (or Friday) I downloaded the new iTunes 7. Immediately afterwards I began to have problems.

I uninstalled iTunes 7 completely and reinstalled 6.X. Unfortunately I kept getting an error saying that it couldn’t find my Library file. I am checking the Apple forums to figure out how I can revert back to 6.X. I will let you know what I find.

Perception of Apple

I think it’s interesting that a lot of people (even Apple) perceive Apple as being so much more reliable than Microsoft. Believe me, Apple has just as many problems. And this release of iTunes from Apple didn’t even qualify as a beta release. Sheesh…get with it Apple.

I’m actually debating on purchasing a competitor. It’s really irritating that I have to use iTunes exclusively with an iPod. I don’t know why I’m so surprised; you have to do that will all Apple products.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Cheers.

Wireless Security Virus

Logging onto my wireless network today I noticed one particular connection. Check out the last one.

wireless virus

This cracked me up. This is one way to get people not to join your wireless network.

Notice the network is unsecured. Why threaten us with a virus? Just secure your network. That’s dumb and scary.

Have a great weekend.

Plan Ahead and Always Have a Backup

I am writing to you from a dial-up connection. Oh boy!

It’s been a painful day without my high-speed cable connection. Apparently a network server went down.

Even though I love my broadband connection, I’m thankful for my dial-up connection. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to get my work done (or write this post).

Lesson Learned/Remembered

A lesson I learned here is to have a backup, a plan B, or C. I woke up early this morning to find out I didn’t have access to the internet - my job. I had a dial-up backup connection for just such emergencies. Unfortunately my broadband service provider didn’t have a backup.

Plan ahead and always have a backup.

Cheers.
