'Unwanted Apple Stuff' Continues to Irk Users

By David LaGesse

Posted: September 10, 2008

I have to wonder if Apple's new iTunes 8 is compelling enough to overcome the reasons Russ Neumeier at GeekDad said he wouldn't be updating the music player anytime soon.

Like some of us, he's weary of Apple's increasingly aggressive efforts to foist "unwanted Apple stuff" onto our PCs. Apple has returned to hounding me to install its Safari browser, even after I several times have told its software updater to ignore Safari revisions.

An apple a day?

Keeps the competition away?
