It wasn't bad information, it was a lie! And I personally don't have a
single "i" anything and never will again. I had an iPod and the ensuing
iTunes account for about a week. After I saw how much "i" things take
ahold of your computer, your iPod, your money, etc. I gave the iPod
away, cancelled my account and will NEVER own another Apple product.


iPads are sold in many countries around the world. Most of those
countries have their own telco and internet service providers and cable
companies and the like. These iPads are for the most part not using AT&T
or Verizon networks for data when they are not hooked up to WiFi.
My iPad has non wi-fi network capability (I bought it that way), but I
have not yet signed up for network services with my carrier because to
date I've not had any need for it. Just about anywhere I go with the
iPad has WiFi available and the one time it wasn't, I used another option.

iPhone also are sold around the world. I have an iPad and an iPhone. My
iPhone was "unlocked" by my US carrier so that when I go overseas, I can
simply buy and pop in a SIM card from there and take advantage of
"local" wireless telco rates.

My wife and I have had our own iPods since about 2003. We both use
iTunes, me on a Mac and she on a Windows PC. Neither of us have noticed
iTunes taking over or "ahold" of anything on our computers. iTunes does
indeed manage the iPod, but there are many alternative software packages
out there that also control iPods. iTunes is also the way Apple wants
iPhones and iPads managed. I haven't noticed iTunes taking "ahold" of my
computer when I use it to manage my other portable Apple devices. As far
as "money" goes, iTunes collects your money for Apple and its partners
when you want to buy software or other media through the iTunes store.
It certainly doesn't take "ahold" of your money for any other reason. I
think iTunes is adequate but no more for its intended purposes.

The conclusion here is the same as always: you simply don't know what
you are talking about.

OH, REALLY??

Any number of media handling software packages do exactly the same
thing...they assume you want that particular program to handle all your
music, all your videos, et cetera. It's easier enough to prevent or
change. I use "VLC" to play most video files, but there are several
other programs on my iMac that also play the same files. It's no big
deal to change it for all time on either a Mac or Windoze machine. The
fact that it presented you with an insurmountable challenge speaks to
your inadequate knowledge base.

Bull****, moron.



Anyone with a modicum of computer savvy knows what I posted in media
handling software is spot on.

Bull****. Hell, I showed you article after article after article about
"i" software.



What you "showed" was that iTunes does what many other suites do...it
attempts to be the player for all sorts of media. You don't have to
allow it. What you also showed is that you don't really have a personal
knowledge base.

Now run off and play with iSnotty...he's your speed.

Odd, I don't have that problem with any other of my Android devices. And
yes, I have more of a "personal knowledge base" that you do.


You do a remarkable job of hiding what you claim to know.


Here's more of that wonderful iStuff.....

Heheh. As if I really care what passes for thought in your cloned
JustHate brain or your URLs, little iloogy.


Gee, little Harry, now the name calling and insulting starts, as usual,
when you are found wrong! Oh, and those sites aren't mine..... They are
