I don't use iTunes. Never have, in fact. So, I can't say for certain how accurate this is, but I'm willing to guess it's fairly accurate.

iTunes is a hateful piece of bloatware! And Apple probably agrees!?!

I have never used it either but have had to work on computers with it installed, my daughter's included.  What a piece of bloatware and resource hog.

I've never had trouble with it. The most bloated thing for me over the past decade was Chrome.

I used it when it first came out(before there were ipods) and it sucked so badly that I never bothered after that. And then when all my friends started complaining about it, it merely confirmed what I had learned previously.

I surmise it works differently on PC than Mac, much like IE for Mac was extra horrible. Some updates have been better than others, but I've never noticed an appreciable difference in terms of what it consumes.

I used it on both and it sucked for both.

As it never did for me, I am not unique, and it's still around, I am willing to assume it isn't a cut-and-dried matter. Most things aren't, of course.

Maybe you don't have the high standards some of the rest of us have. I only know I've had to wipe it from all the machines where I used to work and several clients' machines over the years due to complaints. That's Mac and PC.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
