Google and Adobe are ruining the world

Back in August I blogged about something that really pisses me off: When applications install in to your C drive regardless of where you tell it to install.

Another thing that is similar and just as heinous is when you download a program, run the installer and then the installer downloads another installer. Again.

Chrome is quite possibly the stupidest piece of software invented yet

Ruination

If this isn’t the installer, what is it? An installer for the installer? Redundant much?
I could give a flying fuck if you want me to have the latest version. Create an auto-updater for your software if you want everyone to be on the bleeding edge. I downloaded the setup file because I wanted it

C: Drive Usage

0 bytes

Continuing today’s ragey theme, why the fuck do things require space on the C: drive when I explicitly tell it to install to another drive?

Adobe’s Audition music editor is the latest culprit of this stupid and archaic trend. The program requires ~350mb of disk space. During the installation it asks where you want to install it, so I decide to install it on to my 750GB drive I’ve named Local Data. So you know what it does? It installs about 50mb in to the drive I told it to install in to and the other 300 in to my C. Why? Why even ask me where I want to install it if

MP3 Players in Australia

As some of you may know I’ve recently been on the lookout for a new Portable Media Player.
After much research I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to get a Creative Zen 32GB. I say “going to” because NOBODY FUCKING HAS THEM.

I’ve been to every shop in town that would have them, except for Tandy’s because it doesn’t fucking exist. Seriously I’ve been up and down Charles street ten times, inside David Jones and in the fucking mall. IT DOESN’T EXIST. It’s a LIE.
Nobody has them.
I’ve been to every shopping mall in South Australia, the largest sized MP3 player that wasn’t an iPod I found

Repetitive Electronic Music

So I went shopping today at the apparently local mall of shopping and every clothes store was pumping out the latest club beatz as normal. Now I don’t mind decent club songs, I don’t quite get the connection between fashion and dancing but it’s not the songs that bother me. Infact I am quite partial towards to music of sweat and bouncing. It’s the crazy volume they play these songs at that frustrates me beyond all.

It’s so loud that it isn’t fun to listen to any more. There’s such a thing as too loud. I’m young and hip and incredibly good looking so it’s not that I’m getting old or anything. It’s just common sense to play these songs
