I have been neglecting you

and I apologize.

Buffy reviews will continue in the near future (meaning not until Wednesday, and possibly not until Thursday), but in the meantime I have a rant.

iTunes. Why you must update? 

First of all, a disclaimer. I update iTunes approximately once a year, because every update is crappier than the last one.

Now... do you remember a time in the far-off halcyon days of 2010, when you pushed Ctrl+M to switch to the mini-player? I do. What's this three-key nonsense?  It's awkward and uncomfortable.

Oh, and once upon a time I could hit the "shuffle" button and then the number sorter, and it would show me what order the songs would play. There wasn't any of this "upcoming songs hidden in a separate list" bullcrap.

And then for the epitome of just effing stupid...

Where. The hell. Is my minimize button?

Grr. Argh.
