Apple Pushes More Unnecessary Software Updates

Posted 09/28/2009 at 07:24:54am

hey’ve also conveniently selected some additional software for me in the form of QuickTime and iTunes, which is 137.5 MB of compressed installers that expands to well over 200MB of disk space when installed. If I click the Install button, all of a sudden I have a pile of software I don’t want or need, including the Bonjour network service.

Update: It’s even worse than it appears. According to Simon Bisson, this update is actually “an enterprise tool for building device profiles. It’s not for consumers [and] it adds an Apache install to your machine.”  So if I install this update I suddenly have a web server running on my PC? Yikes. Simon points to this article from November 2008 for more details.

RI Represent!!! but yea still pretty sad compared to South Korea's 20MB/s USA needs to play catchup in general and get with the times but then again you could argue that since we're a bigger country its harder for us but thats still no excuse to rest on our laurels. Now if you'll excuse me i'll go download things at around 2MB/s on bit torrent while playing CounterStrike Source. Verizon Fios FTW, Cox cable wasn't that bad before it had dial up before that. I talk about dial up like the israili's talk about holocaust I will say "never again".
