Mac os X Background Processes Bullshit Adobe Reader

Apple are going to have to start taking background processs seriously, Mac Os X Is far worse than Mac os 9 in this respect, why is it that I must suffer background processes that I cannot Remove with a gui interface ? I mean you could do this in mac os fing 9 but Mac Os X keeps hiding its evil crap, read this article about adobe synchroniser to get an idea of what I mean

I mean why bother having “startup items” if software developers can just insert background processes into mac os X without my control or choice ? And worse this synchroniser is inserted into my user folder now making the fucker uncopyable or deletable because of an active process running from it also why when I use Batchmod or the operating system to modify the entire user folder and its entire contents to have specific permissions, why then do I not find all folders having these permissions ?

Mac Os X sucks Badly in these departments, permission are an abortion, ACLs like wise, user gui control is limited in very hamfisted ways, obfuscation seems to be there game. I have spend hours and hours disecting what all thes rubbish programs install, and work out how to remove it. The link above is one entire web page to remove one irritating item.

currency fall profiteering

Someone should be running a story on the fact that record profits are being made in currency trading by financial institutions at this very moment on the backs of our falling currency values, ie some of those institutions similar in nature and action to those, that plead for bailout are profiteering from the very fall of currencys that the ill chosen actions of their other departments have induced. ie The department that trades in mortgages has mega losses and the part the trades in currencys is now making mega profits of the fall in currency caused by the failure of the other departments. If you think private international financial institutions have any loyalty to countries, you are mistaken, so why we should help bailout private internationalist entitys that by there very nature, are set to profit hugely from our economic decline that theyre own actions have induced. As all real financiers will tell you, these companys are ideally run to make profit in every possible situation, including making money by exploiting and amplifying situations which are fundamentally detrimental to humanity in general, purely for profit.

why do gift cards have shiny writing surfaces, you would almost think they were in collusion with BIC pens ? for they are the only kinds of pens that write successfully on them, without waving a card around ludicrously whilst on a bus, waiting for the ink to dry and then eventually having to use another peice of paper to blot with. Gift Card manufacturers get it together please ? after all it is your only job, to design cards, therefore I would hope you would do it well ?

Apple Mac OS X Updates too large

10.5.6 to 10.5.7 as a combo update 729mb even on standard broadband thats way heavy for an individual download ? multiply that up by the average number of users ? its a crazy waste of bandwidth, and i very much doubt all that update is patching its probably just wholesale replacement and cruft that might be needed. they need to work on trimming these updates down in size, and maybe fixing something more important like the poorly controllable search functionality in mac os x.
