  1. Comment - Apple Backtracks on iTunes Music Sharing

    (Jun 3, 2003 - 7:57 AM)

    I feel sorry for all u mac users being restricted like this.
    Its like having big brother looking out for you.

    Roll on Imesh and Kazza for the mac these are great sources for lots of legal good music and an easy resource to get backups of your own music and videos, who cares if people sample music for free. I record off the radio am i breaking the law? (people have been doing this for many years) hopefully the choice we all have to share files or not will never be stopped, it will be a sad day if it does.

    Have fun and remember to share ;).

  2. Comment - Commentary: One Bad Apple

    (May 6, 2003 - 11:45 AM)

    I might consider using this service apart from the fact its runs on an apple mac I would never buy an apple mac purely based on the last 6 months at work. My Recent experience includes Emacs, 10.2 and 10.2 server.

    We have 11 Emacs of which I have sent back 6 to be repaired in 8 months.

    The software is written by hippies and isn’t finished. I have had more problems with implementing this OS (10.2) then I have ever had with any MS OS and as for service packs there are plenty from apple, sometimes they even make u pay for them. It’s a joke.

    As for the server software oh my god, not getting into that, basically we sent it back, the server made a good door stop.

    And then there’s apple support, where they order the parts before they have picked the machine up. Strange that! Sometimes it can take weeks for a repair.

    Other things that r done very badly:
    Sharing Printers
    Network shares

    Well this has led me to believe these machines r for media/ home use only, in my experience the reliability is very poor if u buy 1 I suggest the 3 years extended warranty option.

    itunes is good and easy to use.

    The PC world will catch up with Itunes there will be several versions giving more choice and more content its only a matter of time or u could just get it for free from Imesh.

    PC's are better at most things and can do anything a Mac can.
