Rant and rave on.
A few years ago my wife bought me an iPad. At first I wasn't too
impressed with it but after using it for awhile I came to love it.
Then I updated it. Big mistake. My wife updated hers too and same
thing. It just gets slower and slower. Apple forums are no help
getting the thing to be as near as fast as it once was. It is the OS
that is slowing it up. And it just gets slower and slower. And it
keeps crashing. The guy at the apple store told us the only hope is to
spend 600 bucks on a new iPad. So then I buy this 50 dollar Fire
tablet from Amazon and it works way better than my Ipad. Then I buy my
wife the 8 inch one, just to play with, for 180 bucks. She likes it.
So I am going to get us both the 10 inch models. One thing about the
Fire that I REALLY like is the micro SD card slot and the way the
tablet uses this extra memory. I downloaded some stuff to watch on the
ferry and the tablet automatically saved it to the SD card. Such a
good idea not to mess with the native memory in the tablet. I'm sure
other tablets make just as much sense. The upshot of all this is that
I say FUCK Apple and the way they do business. I know it makes them
loads of money but their customer service sucks and I really hate the
idea of being forced to buy a new tablet every two or three years for
more and more money because Apple software updates ruin the tablet in
hand. Sorry about the strong language, but it had to be said.
Rant and rave off.

Android OS to me as a power PC user is that it easily shares files with
PCs. I had an iPhone 3G, that was a PITA for using with my PC.
Apple is good for people with money and no interest in figuring computer
things out for themselves.
I recently bought a Motorola Moto E. Amazingly functional ultraportable
PC for $40. It senses movement, includes GPS hardware (so it can be used
as a stand-alone GPS unit with a 4 1/2 inch screen, no Internet
required), includes a 5 megapixel camera, includes a microphone,
includes Wi-Fi (for easy access to all of Google's apps), includes a 4G
phone connection (no subscription, for emergency calls only at no cost),
easily connects to my PC for managing files, includes an SD card up to
64 GB, and of course it plays audio and video files.
I needed another emergency phone and stumbled across that for $40,
which was a no-brainer.

ads - a surprise $5 rebate = $50) and like it. The only downside is
the battery life. After stupidly tossing my phone onto my bed, where
it collided with the screen of my dearest 2nd gen Kindle keyboard and
broke the screen. They're not replaceable/available, so I bought
another used one for $23, delivered. The battery lasts all week, and
I read for hours and hours each day.
Another rant I have is about Mozilla Firefox. I was so utterly fond
of Netscape Navigator 4.5 that the current GIGABYTE hogging bitch they
call Firefox _FORTY SIX!_ (v45 was released the day before yesterday)
is simply agonizing to use any more. GIGAbloat, bugs, etc.
Ayieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That's why I carry my music on a cheapo $20 MP3 player...
Figure I'm going to have to switch sooner or later. Next phone won't be
an Apple, that's for sure. I want a phone with apps useful to me, with
good battery life, and treated by my PC as an external memory device
rather than something proprietary. Only got started on Apple as my wife
gave me a 4C, and I upgraded to a 5S. That's the end of the Apple road
for me.

typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
I've an older model ipod Touch, which I sync with Media Monkey.
About a week ago, I had problems with sync. As in it was taking
longer to sync tracks than to play them, before executing HEIL (Halt
and Execute Infinite Loop). Plus other annoyances. End result:
remove MediaMonkey, _All_ Apple related SW, reinstall MM, Itunes, then
DFU (Device Firmware Update - but "Dey Fuked Up" makes as much sense),
update Itunes, update the pod's software (good thing I had a second
computer - Apple is notorious for failing to communicate). Now it
works
But no more updates of Media Monkey.

Job creation and destruction are both relentless.

auto-update and such turned OFF but it turned out to be some sort of
weirdass computer sharing it was doing. I didn't like that shit at

Downloading it to try now, thanks.
