Biography

Jason D. O'Grady

Jason D. O'Grady developed an affinity for Apple computers after using the original Lisa, and this affinity turned into a bona-fide obsession when he got the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984.

He started writing one of the first Web sites about Apple (O'Grady's PowerPage) in 1995 and is considered to be one of the fathers of blogging. He has been a frequent speaker at the Macworld Expo conference and a member of the conference faculty. He also co-founded the first dedicated PowerBook User Group (PPUG) in the United States.

After winning a major legal battle with Apple in 2006, he set the precedent that independent journalists are entitled to the same protections under the First Amendment as members of the mainstream media.

O'Grady is the author of The Nexus One Pocket Guide, The Droid Pocket Guide, The Google Phone Pocket Guide, and The Garmin nuvi Pocket Guide (Peachpit Press), the author of Corporations That Changed the World: Apple Inc. (Greenwood Press), and a contributor to The Mac Bible (Peachpit Press). In addition, he has contributed to numerous Mac publications over the years, including MacWEEK, Macworld, and MacPower (Japan).

When he's not writing about Apple for ZDNet at The Apple Core, he enjoys spending time with his family in New Jersey.

Oh yeah

Maybe they will fix some of the issues itunes has when uninstalling it. I have dealt with issues of uninstalling this app and is causing issues with dvd drives and flash readers. Pathetic peice of software that everyone uses. Me, I will be buying a zune with the subscription service and staying far far away from any apple software. Seriously some of the worst development on windows to date and apple is the company that will always turn a blind eye to anything that makes them look bad and then try and muck it up in the background with not much luck. Cycle continues while the suckers eat it up. Apple is becoming the update king of software.

Apple software + Windows = Horrible OBE

This is where Apple would say: but our software runs great on a Mac!

I use iTunes in XP all the time
GoPower 21st Nov 2008
and I've no complaints. You guys must not know how to use it, or it doesn't suit your tastes, because it work very well for me and I gather the other 100 million iPod owners.

Pick-up that puke green zune, probably a better match for you.

if it was as horrible as the few on these talkbacks insist it is, it wouldn't be so popular a player for Windows users. Q.E.D.

Well, if you read the post...

You would have seen that it may work fine while installed, but once you try to detach from the product it can play a nasty joke on you, especially if you do not know how to fix it. I have installed and uninstalled thousands of pieces of software that did not do what itunes does when it is uninstalled. Plus they patch the damn thing like every other week and it is a basic piece of software nothing like an OS. Weird science.
