Black Friday Eve

So everyone has their Thanksgiving traditions.  One my fiancee and myself have started over the past few years is to go out after dinner for a drive and look at all the lines of people outside stores for the sales on Friday.   Now if we live in Syracuse,NY so it is not like California or Florida where people could hangout outside stores in a sweatshirt and be fine overnight.  No it is 30 degrees out and snowing yet there are still lines at 7pm all over town for the deals tomorrow.  However looking at the deals online I really don't see anything that would make me want to stand in line for 12hours in the Syracuse cold to buy a tv, or any other product that they might be selling.  But that does not mean I will not drive by the people willing to do that and laugh.  If there is a hell I am sure I am going there.

Ways Apple keeps pissing me off

So my fiancee has an iPod,  and it seems like every other week dam itunes wants to upgrade.  which would not be so bad except that when it upgrades apple feels that it does not want to follow the original installation which made it so it would only appear on her desktop and in her start menu but rather it upgrades and installs across both of our desktops.  So I keep having to delete icons off my desktop and I gave up on removing it from my start menu round about the third week in a row it upgraded.  I mean I got better things to do with my time then deal with apple's inability to fix a simple  little program the first time.   But if that is not bad enough apple also force installs QuickTime with itunes, which is a whole other issue, because now I need to go and turn off all the god dam QuickTime junk after every upgrade which as I mentioned earlier is almost every week.
