Have the Big Guys Forgotten That We Know “Shovelware” When We See It?
I wrote an article for Media Bullseye this week about how Google, Apple and Microsoft are screwing up, but 
what I don’t write are the article teasers. I love this one:
While Apple, Microsoft, and Google have recently announced new and/or improved versions of software, Mark Story has become increasingly irritated at the amount of mandatory software that is being foisted upon an unwilling public–by the very companies that should know a lot better.
“Increasingly irritated.” My life story.

I really enjoyed reading that article, Mark. I never really thought about all of the extra “stuff” that I was downloading while updating my software. I would think that the Big Boys would give people the option regarding any additional software they wanted to download. I don’t see how they would get away with this for too long without getting a black eye in public. I mean, did they think people wouldn’t blog about this?
Moving forward, Its about time I update my software, but now I’m a bit hesitant!
