Apple Propaganda Takes a Stab at Nintendo

Apple reported today at it’s event that the iPod Touch was better than the Nintendo DS for the following reasons:no-multi-touch[1]

  • No Multi-Touch User Interface
  • Games are Expensive
  • No App Store
  • No iPod

Now, If you don’t like to listen to me rant, It would probably be a safe bet that you’ll want to skip this post, because I’m going to be going into great deal about what exactly is wrong with those reasons.  If you’re willing to listen to me rant and rave, then just continue reading :)

Overlooked: iTunes 9 & Windows 7 Make Sweet Love

I’m not much of an Apple fanboy, in fact I generally don’t care much for the brand at all.  But today’s iTunes update has made even me smile in elated happiness just a little bit.

Why is this, you ask?  Because Apple is making sweet, sweet love with Windows 7.

iTunes9 with Preview

As you can see, iTunes has added the ability to pause and skip forward and backward in Windows 7, a feature that (so far as I know) is only supported by Windows Media Player at this moment in time.  But that isn’t all.  The application now loads up quicker, doesn’t usually give off that annoying black background in place of UI elements, and even includes some Windows 7 Tasks!

As you can see very plainly in this picture, iTunes 9 has added tasks involving the iTunes store.

This is all of the secret love making I’ve found so far.  Have you found any?  If so, please, post about it in the comments!
