subtle adverts and corporations

as i was trying to view the link bdn posted in the vids section, it said i needed quicktime..

indeed i did, because i reinstalled windyxp..

so downloading it, and running the setup program, i noticed it was for itunes.

sad that the free player is just an addon to the itunes program.

also sad that the company ( apple ) needed to go to this length to advertise...

and check this out: ( mind you, its a screen of the installation program, and remember its for quicktime )

i had to go through the same thing when i got my new laptop and installed quicktime...

iTunes is the biggest complaint about all apple software...why try and force it down everybody's throats???

 

[lemon]

i dont fucking know.

 

[lemon]

ill probably do registry and manual deletion of the itunes shit.

 

[Rusteh]

i was thinking of doing that...haven't taken a look though to see if you can do that without removing quicktime

 

[lemon]

its doable. anything is :banana :booze

 

[Rusteh]

lol post how to do it

 

[lemon]

eh, i found out that the folder you maually type in is for itunes. the quicktime stuff is automatically sent to the programfiles\quicktime folder..

if you dont choose a different folder, you have to be careful.

ill put up a list of what is used for quicktime in a bit.

and the registry... i didnt play in it yet.. keyword: yet

or you can just keep the installs for everything you download so you always have some old version of stuff lying around

 

[lemon]

I use Quicktime Alternative which plays Quicktime movies in Mediaplayer Classic (it can;t run on MP10 because of copyright restrictions).

There's also RealAlternative, which does the same thing for RealPlayer files.
