Apple’s Brain Washing

In the last times (but i’m sure that this exists since apple’s born)… I noticed many changes between new apple users…

After buying their new ipod… (or some macbook… or whatelse apple has made…)… they begin to say other products are sick… “MacOs is the most secure operating system… It doesn’t have and will never have bugs“… “My ipod is the best and it never freezes“… “MacOs is cheaper than Vista… buy a MAC”… ecc…

” That’s the image Apple wants people of have of the Mac: the anti-Windows. The clever Mac vs. PC commercials underscore that promise, pointing out some of the early problems with Windows Vista and smugly implying that Macs are free from such frustrations. The problem is that’s simply not true. Mac owners will encounter problems during the life of the product, maybe not as many as Windows owners, but frustrating, on-hold-with-tech-support types of problems will happen. ”

New iPods: libgpod & gtkpod

New iPods don’t like LINUX…

Why?

Because Apple wants to integrate more & more his iPods with iTunes and its services…

Everybody know that.

We understand apple don’t like us… An hash code to protect itunesdb is a bad thing… but we haveLIBGPOD & GTKPOD that ensure us a good handling of this (bad) player.

Everyday they update their svn repo with better and featurefull code.

So let’s see how to install them.
