Its only as quoted "its a resource hogging stupid thing" If your PC doesn't have enough power in the first place. I run it on all our PC's here, and even the lowest powered one runs it perfectly.	wainuitech (129)

The moral of the story is when you get asked if you want to store your number on there site select no. This also goes for other online stores as will. :)	Trev (427)

I forgot his name but Neowin reported on the 2010 security conference this year and one of their top hackers said mac users were arrogant of the risks. An apple computer may not get a virus but it can still be subject to phishing and info stealing over the internet. If an apple virus was released there would be not much people could do to stop it if it was written right it could take over most of the apple world. A simple Itunes hack could spread infected files to millions of users a day. Apple need to get things straight. you never hear of the Microsoft websites getting hacked!	The Error Guy (14052)

Rip the cd, if you've got it Good idea on the iTunes cards, but you're wrong about this being Apple's fault. Their servers have not been hacked, it was that guy's account. Him and about 400 other iTunes users (out of millions if Apple's stats are correct). Those accounts being "hacked" does not mean anything was wrong at Apple, it means his user name and password got into the hands of the "hackers". Most likely thing is that he followed some phishing link and he literally told the bad guys his password. Now it should be pretty easy for Apple to refund his money, delete the purchases from his account (so that he doesn't get to use the apps, otherwise everyone would buy apps and claim they were hacked), then refuse to pay the developers of the apps that he didn't purchase. They already have a system for refunds that works just like this. Well, that and ***** slap FairGo for such a crap story. Expecting MagnumMac to have an iTunes rep? That's like storming into Harvey Norman and demanding to speak to someone about why Sony over charged their Playstation account (if playstation accounts exist).	UberHiker (15874)
1116902	2010-07-08 02:34:00	Why use iTunes when their is much better software that does the job faster and better like Foobar2000 which i use, it's great	goodiesguy (15316)
1116903	2010-07-08 04:29:00	Why use iTunes when their is much better software that does the job faster and better like Foobar2000 which i use, it's great Because you can't load apps onto your iPhone with Foobar2000, and thus it doesn't do the job. Just to be clear, this news story was caused by developers getting hold of account details, buying their own apps and giving good reviews, causing them to move up the charts and thus bring in more sales.

1116904	2010-07-08 04:55:00	i don't have an iphone so itunes has no use for me	goodiesguy (15316)
1116905	2010-07-08 05:19:00	i don't have an iphone so itunes has no use for me You are a moron. And Mods, please check the dictionary before banning me	plod (107)
1116906	2010-07-08 06:40:00	i don't have an iphone so itunes has no use for me Just because a person doesn't like a piece of software that doesn't mean every one else has to hate it as well. There are millions of happy users of Itunes. re Plods comment: :p looked it up on several dictionary's Hmmmmmmm (I do know what it means) but the "options of one " make it interesting A person who makes uncool, unfunny, uninteresting, or irrelevant (see lame) attempts to impress others and draw attention to himself, I did watch the Fair go program at lunch today after reading this thread -- Interesting, appears many people got stung by the hacker(s).	wainuitech (129)
