Quicktime is evil

[brak666]

In order to view the X-Men 3 teaser I had to download the new version of quicktime. That's not the evil part though. The evil part is that the new version of quicktime comes bundled with the iTunes software. Now, iTunes is very clever in that once you have the software, they're more than willing to let you browse what they have to offer and listen to samples even if you haven't signed up for the service. It's like when drug dealers hand out crack for free to get you hooked and then start charging once they've got you. Evil!

I dl'd and installed the bundle, then immediately uninstalled iTunes. Mac is getting as evil as MS these days.

lol, you can just get em all for 15$ and save a bunch o' money. I think I'm gonna get them, once my paycheck actually gets deposited, which I still await. It's a day late >_<.
