Quicktime

No Good Rotten Software

Doug Ross @ Journal links to People who need to stop writing software.  None happen to resonate here, but he saves the day with his own good bashing of a personal software nemesis - Apple. “ Apple's Quicktime didn't make the list, but deserves to. Apple: I just want to play a video on a webpage somewhere. It happens to require Quicktime. I do not want a system tray icon (what in the name of Jerry Wozniak would I do with it anyhow?). I do not want free Quicktime offers. I do not want all of my preferences overwritten. I do not want a desktop icon. I just want to watch the freaking video! ” Which is why I use the free Media Player Classic, so I don't allow Quicktime an opportunity to sneak in under the tent flap.
