This Is The Only Time I'll Be Annoyed With Apple.

I suppose this is really annoying because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. So I'm apparently supposed to download some freeware applications from the website that was mentioned in the lecture ages ago in Week 7, but here's my problem: I'm not sure if they'll work. I'm apple all the way here at home (not a PC in sight), so given portableapps.com/ is for PCs, and I only have apple computers in my house I should've known I'd hit a slight snag.

So what I did instead was download some Widgets, which I suppose is the apple equivalent to some applications that you could find for the PC and yeah, I tried them out and here's my views:

Facebook: Meeh, not bad. It gives you little alerts every 30 seconds according to my little index thingy, and it tells you if you've got any friend alerts, wallpost alerts, messages, nudges, event alerts, that kind of thing. I suppose it would be useful if I were really facebook savvy.

ILoveLamp: If you like pretty colours, then you're gonna love this. A pretty stupid application if you ask me--all it is is a lava lamp. You can though, pick the colours. Orange is my favourite colour, hence why that's my new lamp.

Horoscope: So I can see how my lucky stars are going today. So today I need to watch my diet. ...The horoscope is calling me fat? :o

Clickomania: If you're ever bored, yup, I think you should get this. Your task is to get rid of all the tiles and stuff, making sure you don't leave any behind. Think it's simple? Its not. Not at all.

But yeah, I never realised just how much CRAP is online--theres stuff from art tools, to currency exchange, to font finders and even silly little lava lamps. Do we really need all this stuff?
