Why iTunes is Evil

Why is iTunes evil? Well, as most of you may already know, I'm quite fond of Macs, and in fact most of the time I prefer using Mac OS rather than using Windows. But I do have one major gripe, and its about iTunes.

You see, before the age of iTunes, before the DARK times... We had other outlets that we used to reliably download and distribute our music. We could either get our music legally (ripped tracks from CDs we owned) or illegally (downloaded them from the web via Napster, Limewire, or KaZaa) but the point is, we HAD our music! No complaints, no fuss. Life was simpler then.

Then one dark and cloudy day, the recording companies began to gripe that their music artists and music composers were losing money due to the fact that so many people were downloading music, and that sells of music records in general had dropped because the masses were now downloading their music online for free.

So eventually, Apple invented iTunes. A convenient way for users to download music- one song at a time, in the MP3 format, for a small price. Brilliant!

Have you ever wondered?

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Amish and son

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.

The lad asked, 'What is this, father?'

The father, having never seen an elevator, responded, 'I have no idea what it is.'

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls.

The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out.

The father looked at his son anxiously and said, 'Go get your mother.'
