Apple has held a special meeting with leading podcasters in an attempt to address concerns that the company is failing to adequately support the iTunes broadcast community

For those who do not swallow swords...

Point #1: iTunes is a horrific, bloated, balky, kludge attempting to do jobs in 2016 based on technology and code from 2007.

I don’t swallow swords.

But given the choice of being forced to use iTunes on a daily basis or shoving a sword down my throat I would have to seriously consider doing so.

So, like prominent bloggers.. at a homeless shelter?

I used to use iTunes to download Mark Levin’s podcast. Now I don’t.

Agreed. It locks up my computer for several minutes right after I log into the Itunes website. Not certain what it is doing, maybe checking my song library. But even the mouse stops working.

Probably more along the lines of Andrew Klaven and Steven Crowder.

The Gay Incorporated. Totally self absorbed.

Don't know much about code, but as a company Apple has lost the image of being the fresh upstart new thing company, and is now becoming a stagnant established corporation that spends more time redesigning their charger adaptors (so we have to buy new ones) than they do coming up with innovation.

I know that Crowder dork tries to pimp his self-aggrandizing stuff here.

Klaven I've never heard of, all the better.

If they want to be journalists then they need to get hired by someone.

Bloggers are trash.

If they want to be journalists then they need to get hired by someone.

Really, I think the best investigative work would be people who aren't employed by newspapers or TV/radio news, precisely because many/most of those are owned (or heavily influenced by) the sorts of people we're philosophically against. I mean that's a sufficient explanation to me for the likes of Levin and Limbaugh (supposed conservatives) pushing for Cruz, who (by the very act of running) degrades and erodes the Constitution by essentially cementing the precedent for ignoring the natural born requirement.

He's Cliff the Mailman's younger, dumber brother.
