Further securing Buzz Out Loud as my new favorite podcast (edging out the Cranky guys), Molly’s just-say-no position on Apple Software struck a chord.  When the anti-virus software packages start targeting Safari auto-installs (as reported on Buzz) you know it’s time. According to Buzz, a recent reply from Apple to a frustrated user’s quest to turn off the annoyance advised: “you must either install Safari or shut off auto-updates”. Shutting off updates would of course discontinue all security updates as well. Is Apple becoming the New Evil Empire?

Zune’s far-superior software won me over from iTunes some time ago. Now I have uninstalled the nefarious Apple Updater and dropped QuickTime, for good.

(and let’s help Molly bring back “swang”!)
