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.

Reminds me of some Java code I flow-charted for a client a few years back so they could understand what their system was doing after a few years of patches, a handful of devs, and a bushel of requirement changes.

Damn, that's an awful cynical attitude y'all got going. I'm gonna go up vote it... just because.

Apparently, the title "Thought of the Day" is now trademarked. I'm afraid you're gonna be sued. Serves you right too. How dare you try to send a positive and decent message here.

All those years. All those points. You're finally getting the hang of this place!

That makes no sense. If I give you all my money, how do I buy bacon?

With his money, because he has to give it to you.

Are you saying then, that we need to give?

If your mind's as filthy as mine, the word "head" was involved.

I hate it when my desktop icons get all whacked!  Usually when this happens, I also lose the left hand pane (quick access) in explorer. Maybe they've fixed this in the anniversary update??? I know, I know,...just restart and shut up!

There are apps for that.
Iconoid is the best, but certain instabilities in the "best ever" operatin system become worse when you use it, but DesktopOK (and several others on nonags[^]) haven't been broken by that best of all operating systems, yet.

Desktop icons have been going "all whacked" since Windows 3.1[*], so what makes you think that'd be fixed in the anniversary update?
[*] I haven't used the previous versions long enough to remember whether they had similar problems
(What's your definition of "all whacked" today?)

One example is that all .txt files now have a nice big Chrome icon! I keep a lot of notes in txt files so they are all over the place...makes finding something more difficult. I remember this happening in previous OS's with the exception of 7 with which I really had very few problems.

Looks like something has gone behind your back and made some adjustments to your default program settings.

Yeah - Win10 did a bunch of them with music and video extensions a week or so ago on my PC: I got a large bunch of Notifications telling me about each change so I could put 'em all back.
