I set my path on a Mobius strip to keep it on just one track.
But then one day I met myself,
upside-down and coming back.

That's just one side of the story.

That would only work if the strip were see-through, but threads involving the words "strip" and "see-through" aren't allowed in the Lounge.

You are technically correct - the best kind of correct.

And in the apple rant, elephant was spelled out in full and wasn't *'d.

There's only one of you so how can you meet yourself? That's no different than saying "I walked in a circle and met myself"
Isn't it SO much fun debating with a group of people who's sole lot in life is to find problems with logic?

I was using my artistic licence, number 81320-37761B, for the purpose of poetic metaphor.

My artistic license was cancelled due to abuse of privilege.

A Mountie stopped me and asked me for my license.
He said - "You need to get this endorsed."
"Certainly" I said, "which end?"

OK, look, from the start I've liked the iPod. and I had an iPhone. But, never liked the whole "locked into the ecosystem" thing. So, had an iPod for my music, aw decent PC for my work, job done.
Recently, it really is like all pretense of being usable has left Apple. To the point where it's stupid. I just updated to the new version of iTunes. How do I load music onto my iPod? F*** knows. There's no option. Anywhere. I got a new iPod cos the old one died, I got a new iTunes, where the elephant is the old (already annoying) option? No. I have to go trawling through the Apple support fora. To find that I have to restart my computer and now I can see the songs but not download them onto my iPod. Despite the fact that I have already deauthorised all other devices. Upon my word, I say; these are dark days. Just, seriously. I might have to buy an mp3 player that isn't an iPod. 
Apple have lost their last reason to exist. At least under Jobs the fashionist-koolaid masses had some kind of grounding. I give it five years.

Jobs and Gates were the people who made their companies great.
Now apple and ms are run by clerks, money-grabbers, and people with no vision.

I still have an iPod classic (the 160GB edition that, unfortunately, they don't produce anymore!), but I've always hated iTunes (and everything else Apple for that matter). I've ranted about the piece of crap that is iTunes before, but I don't think I need to tell you how bad it is. I've met Apple fanboys who disliked iTunes. Just because iTunes is so bad. It's so bad I wouldn't even call it software. Calling it malware would be insulting to malware. Calling it a virus would be insulting to viruses. There really is no word to describe the horror that is iTunes.
Anyway, because I really hate iTunes (I don't think I've mentioned that before) I tried Winamp and it works 
You can put music on your iPod or delete it from your iPod and create playlists. Unfortunately Winamp is no longer, but you can still download the latest (and last) version from their website[^]. Ignore the promises about more coming soon, I've given up all hope 
Being dead and all it's still (lots!) better than iTunes though.

Personally, I use Clementine (though Rhythmbox does syncing equally well), but that's mostly due to me having a Linux desktop, not bitten-fruit or MalSoft (at least where I can help it). I do see they've got a version for Windows and OSX Mountain Lion, perhaps it just "might" be a replacement for iTunes / WMP.
iTunes is one of the reasons I simply refuse to go Apple. But it seems it's not that bad to actually use an iPod/iPhone. My sister was asking to get some of my music files onto her iPhone the other day. My first thought: "Oh hell! Here comes an painful few hours!"
But remembering that Clementine simply worked out the box with my iPod mini and my Samsung Galaxy, I though: Give it a try, what's to loose? It's only "her" phone  Very surprised! Worked like a charm, without any trouble. Plug intop USB, Clementine immediately lists it as a new device, no (annoying) popups, just drag the music / folders / playlists to the device icon and it does the rest.

It looks like the 2 days I spent reworking our Bad Words Filter has been a total waste of time. I'm firing those unit tests.
Maybe it's time we just ditched the notion that swearing is unacceptable. As an Australian it's almost unpatriotic for me to me censoring that stuff anyway...

Do not worry, we are now used to see the world "Apple" everywhere and do not pay attention anymore.
