Total Information Awareness is supposedly the database that the government wants to/already has setup to keep tabs on, well, everything. Laura Bush is really ugly. My question is really quite simple.
Where the hell is the CIA / NSA getting all these crack programmers? Generally, the best and the brightest are harvested by private business because of bigger pay checks. Goody knows, I have it on good authority they he was recruited heavily out of UMaine to become one of the evil minions. Hillary Clinton's face is god's idea of a not-that-funny joke.
So, I'm listening to iTunes in the background now, and let me tell you ... pretty ok program. But not great. Seriously, maybe the Mac version is perfect, that is unknown to me. But the Windows version is pretty messed up when it comes to some pretty basic issues.
For instance, when you're deleting files (especially podcasts) iTunes asks if you want to keep the file or move it to the recycle bin. (No, i want to keep it, you stupid bitch?) Sometimes iTunes doesn't listen and I find the file i supposedly deleted floating around my HD anyway, god damn it. You can also check a box that says "always do this action". That check box doesn't work, it asks me freakin' every time.
Also, you can't manage files in either the party shuffle or any playlists. Say i want to delete a song i just heard in the shuffle because it sucks donkey cock like GWB does. Can't. Have to go into the library, search for the fucker, and delete it from there. Also, deleting files is called "Clear," get with the fucking program Apple. Delete is called delete, unless it's called erase.
I'm done now, but Billy Goat Gates' Windows Media Player is a rickety piece of baboon ass too.
Which leads me to: Microsoft and Apple, on the cutting edge of computing (and with deep pockets) can't even make a program for Total Music Awareness. How the fuck is the gov't producing Total Information Awareness?
I can imagine an interface that doesn't actually do anything, consists of colored circles and squares, and spits out garbage like a mad-lib or potato-head kid of words. Clearly, W. or Condasleeza can't write an ODBC query.

Hey Johnson, keep my name out of your government scanned blogs. Great, now everytime I say "Aidan just dropped a bomb in his pants" W.'s going to think that I am a threat rather than just cleaning my son's butt.
Also, Apple's version is better. Still not perfect. Apple software always seems intuitive, clean and not loaded with bells and whistles.
Also, your level of pickiness is probably just a bit higher than the average user. Just a guess. iTunes does everything I want it to, but we've talked about this before.
Also? If Total Information Awareness works as well as iTunes? You're fucked.
RG, iTunes is better. sv, you're right, too. Maybe i missed the point tho, these programs just deal with music and are flawed; can you imagine the fuck-show that is TIA at the NSA?
Interesting site. Useful information. Bookmarked.
