I've avoided having to use it much until recently when I started downloading a few podcasts, and man do I hate it! The Store is laggy as hell, the Store can be frustrating to navigate, the Itunes interface is clunky, especially when trying to navigate the podcast download list, the program bugs out and will play a video without actually putting up the video stream, and worst of all it just doesn't feel very functional. I get way more frustrated than I should just trying to use the program for even basic things.
I am not claiming that any other programs are significantly better, WMP included. I must admit that WinAmp has been the best I have found. I do prefer WMP over Itunes, but Itunes has the advantage of a great selection on its store. But man am I disappointed by Itunes. People rave about Apple and Itunes like they reinvented downloading stuff. I am thoroughly disappointed.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
