Their 3 hour Itunes/Ipad updates suck the cock as well.

Yeah, see, this is what chapped my ass the most.

I expect shit to do nasty things on initial install...they almost all do that fucking shit (assholes)...but this "fuck your world up on update" strategy is new levels of sliminess.

I'm going back to a lump of coal and papyrus if this keeps up.

If they're taking three hours to update, your computer is slow as fuck.

I'm using the K-lite codec pack (I've been its strongest advocate on this forum previously) but some inline browser shit wants to see Quicktime, so I had (reluctantly) installed it, so I could view inline shit.

After they fucked with my shit, though, they can eat me, I'll view shit offline, thanks.

Fuckers.

Never seen a three-hour update, even with a full-on backup and restore (with a crapload of content on the device).

I use VLC mostly, even on the mac.

Sure, if you want to be a computer tech instead of a user. Most people don't.
