Not fighting it, I used iTunes for years until it finally got so bloated it was just wrong to open the program. I buy all my music through CDs, where real quality is. If you download any music from online sources you are buying maybe 20% the quality of what a CD is. Going from FLAC or WMA lossless to Apple lossless will lose me quality.
Points:
~Apple market share is UP, where do you keep seeing me say it is down? Apple increased the MP3 market with the latest 3G s iPhone, they increased the laptop/desktop from about 7.5% to 8.1% the past year.
~Apple is doing good with more market share, but is also showing weakness. Increase in problems, lower QA/QC, more vulnerable to harmful attacks, lacking in new technology/developments.
~iPod touch was a worthless upgrade this go around
~iPhone is still one year behind in software - They still not do have proper functions for business, do not have proper app management, lack of flash support for web
~They sell to an image, not a product
~Desktop line is worthless and over-priced
~Laptop line is improving but back to the QA/QC line up - Fix the Macbook Air or get it off the line up, it is dead weight right now. Netbooks are killing it and Apple has no answer other than a over-priced, over-clocked netbook
~Stop trying to cheat your way into the browser market share. They initially add a check box for Safari to download/install on window based computers when updating any Apple software (iTunes, quicktime, etc). There is playing dirty and then there is this.
I have more but do not want to waste your time.
