Another software update, another version of iTunes, and another reason to wonder just what the fuck is going on in Cuperttttttttttttttttttttttto, ahem, Cupertino?
The software update tried to install some new software that I had never heard of and that seemed completely unnecessary. That pissed me off.
The new iTunes install was not pleasing either. As I’ve complained before, it auto-places a shortcut on my desktop, which I never want. But this time it went so far as to remove the shortcut from my quicklaunch menu, which is where I do want it.
And just what about the new version of iTunes? None of the new navigation is particularly useful, but I did find a nice bug. When I use a dual-monitor setup (like I always do at work) and I have iTunes visible on the secondary monitor, and when iTunes is in Cover-flow mode, it actually causes my keyboard to lock onto a key I’m typing whenever it flips from one album cover to another, which iiiiiiiiiiiiih, ahem, which is highly annoying.

I’m happy to say that I’ve gone almost an entire year without iTunes installed on my primary computer.
It’s so wonderful not to have your computer bogged down with huge updates what feels like daily.
