| 1121826 | 2010-07-23 22:58:00 | Isn't Safari a part of the Mozilla Suite or somehow attached to FireFox and/or Google? I know it's an integral part of the Apple-stuff and I might be slightly confused here - although I am never totally confused unless it's some sorta Linux-thingy that's not working, of this I am very sure . I think . I see that the Safari 'auto-fill' part has security problems and just want to know if Safari is running somewhere under the radar in what I run . . zdnet . com/clicks?t=557520898-e629dafc051e6228fe316054b92e0eb9-bf&brand=ZDNET&s=5" target="_blank">ct . zdnet . com |

| 1121827 | 2010-07-23 23:05:00 | No, its an Apple program (a browser). And no, its not part of Google or Mozilla. Its competing against them and IE. Its entry will be in add/remove programs / programs and features. If you installed it |

If you installed it Ah - then comes another question --- I tried to charge my stepson's iPod one day through my USB and I got hit with a lot of windows jumping up-in-around my desktop and then it took me a day or two to get rid of it all . Is this the way Apple DRMs and such work? I hoped they didn't screw around with my MP3 collection, but I had it all backed-up on another satellite hdd that I don't let run unless I am archiving files and it wasn't running at that moment, so nothing got into it anyway . Why do people put up with this iPod stuff if it's so 'Rights-Driven' and full of DRMs? . |

Sounds like malware to me Is this the way Apple DRMs and such work?

Unless you tell it to deal with MP3's / your music files it wont even look at them Why do people put up with this iPod stuff if it's so 'Rights-Driven' and full of DRMs? Unless you use the Store and get files off it, none of it's DRM. I use it sometimes to sync MP3's (from CD's I rip), MP4's that I get from Youtube (after converting them from flv). And to sync contacts with the Ipod here. Never had a prob with it, or DRM (since I dont use the Store in Itunes). There are other programs around, (like Winamp, Mediamonkey but theyre not free) that can sync music to Ipods. But, since I sync contacts as well (there are programs for this, but most of them aren't totally free, and I don't use credit cards, so cant buy anything online). Which is why I use Itunes (in Vista that is). Since Windows 7 can play MP4 natively, Vista can't |

| 1121833 | 2010-07-24 05:50:00 | I still wouldnt use the Itunes Store. I'll rather rip what I own | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1121834 | 2010-07-25 06:40:00 | Yeah - last time his iPoop tried to access all my MP3s and then was strolling through the list and deleting the graphics when I hit the kill switch. I think I'll put his iPoop in the car and plug it into the USB/Power Port charger thing-y I got for my Sansa MPs Player next time. I hate things Apple. |
