Apple is Stupid...

Useless innovations are awesome. Take for instance the ability to purchase music on your iPhone. Because companies can't get over their desire to make more money than they are currently making, you are not able to purchase music via Edge or 3G AT&T networks. This means you can only purchase on wifi. Now for me personally, the only time I'm on wifi is when I'm at home. Last time I checked, I had a few computers in my house, so I'm not sure why I need the ability to purchase music via wifi on my iPhone. Oh I know, I can hear you now, "but Orion, purchasing music over wifi means you don't have to get up from your couch to go to the computer." And I would agree with you if it weren't for one small detail about how the iPhone works. The iPhone does not work in "disk mode." This means that you have to sync the iPhone. This means that your iPhone can only be associated to one computer. Now, as silly as that is, suppose you were managing your music manually on a computer and you import some 400 songs from a different iPod. Now you want to transfer these 400 songs to your iPhone, but you don't feel like hunting them out one at a time, so you hit sync. Now, suppose that this sync erases your whole freakin iPhone song list before transferring. Now consider for a moment that you think this will be okay because your iPhone has been backed up on your laptop, but in reality, the albums you purchased via wifi were not backed up and are now lost. Now consider that this has happened at least twice and you've lost a minimum of $40 worth of music and the same album at least twice. I would imagine that you might draw a similar conclusion that iTunes is stoopid. Why exactly is it necessary for their sync to be so asinine. How hard would it be for it to automatically transfer your purchases to your computer before wiping everything out. Yes it warns me, but still, why is it even an option to blow away the items you've purchased? When is that the desired result? That's just bad engineering. Bah! Oh Apple your products are soooo sexy yet so silly sometimes, it's like the whole company has gone blonde.
