Not cool, Apple

Geez, Apple. I thought you were cool. You had your new MacBook out and sure, I got a PC instead but I was pretty sure you would understand. Then I go and try to visit a website of a really awesome band but it turns out they need Quicktime to run...so sure, I go to the Apple website and go to install Quicktime. But lo! I can't just install the codec. I have to take your bloated player and iTunes, to boot. I have a better player already, as well as a music player. I don't need all this crap. So boo on you, Apple. Looks like I have a better offer. (This post has been inspired by late-night crankiness) On another note: I just realized that I'll be in Europe in time for the Montreux Jazz Festival! Dude. I mean, duuuuuude.

your link to your laptop had an error...but it was on an Acer page so that's what I'm assuming you got. I'm looking to get a laptop later this year...any thoughts? I gotta tell you though, I AM leaning towards an iBook because it's so...pretty. I don't NEED something with superduper powers, just everyday use.

Yeah, I got an acer...Aspire 5672 if you're looking into it. But yea, if you don't need high performance then aesthetics are important, and battery life on a lower-performance laptop is sometimes better too.

And thanks! :D
