Latest version of iTunes (7.6.2)…

by @ Sunday, May 4th, 2008. Filed under general

…appears to be a processor pig… watch out. Just did the Apple Update of QuickTime, iTunes, and Safari two days ago and was running iTunes the last couple of days and it kept hanging one of my “fast” machines up. 90% processor and better. Especially on video mode. Rating 3.00 out of 5

And another movie that looks good…

by @ Friday, May 2nd, 2008. Filed under general

My inner geek is coming out again… Looks like they may have done it correctly this time. Though no one has yet to have properly explained to me why his pants stretch so much… I gain a few pounds and my pants rip right out in the crotch darn near every time. ๐Ÿ˜‰     […]
