Apple is insidious

Just doing a little blog reading and idle surfing with a cup of coffee and up pops the Apple Software Updater window. “Hey”, is says, “I’ve got something new for you!”. But, it’s not the usual update to iTunes or Quicktime, but a cross proportional up sell to try and switch me to Safari. For some reason I click “accept”. You’d think I’d learn after spending a better part of a week trying to track down why my computer would automatically re-boot on it’s own ever 3-4 hours. Why just yesterday I told myself, “Self, no more installing random software, at least not without backing up everything is sight first”. So much for that resolution
