Don't be a prat webster - do you seriously think Dell/HP/any other major pc manufacturer's factories are any different? You sound like a 4-year-old refusing to eat his greens. No-one cares about your irrational hatred, you're worse than the chinese, and they've been brainwashed by a corrupt totalitarian state. Open your eyes, you fool, and realise that all software (and all hardware) sucks, apple sucks no more than any other, and you sound like a lunatic every time you draw (literary) breath and post another predictable, biased, no-paris-angle rant.
A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wavebands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had beenoperated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive - you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same programme.
this sounds an awful lot like a crappier, commercialier version of pandora http://www.pandora.com/ the music genome project. I found its reccomendations astonishingly good, as its not based on "genre" but on the music genome projects research and classification of songs based on many different criteria. Only available in the US now, unfortunately, they were forced by the RIAss. to implement IP filters. Pity, it was the only internet radio i had listened to for long, as their system semed to work. It sounds like this new one doesn't.
i call bs on you calling bs
i have many times installed a complete XP system including basic software (office suite, drivers, media software) in under an hour. What usually takes up time is if you have to download updates for everything, which is why i have a slipstreamed install disc, and a disc of software installers. OSX is just as easy. and in both cases you can shove the disc in, leave it for half an hour, then do your configuring, and with windows the configuring can be pre-done on custom install media (using nLite(free software)).
