How to remove the free U2 album from your iTunes account

Posted on September 17, 2014

itunes-logoAre you a fan of the band U2? If so, you’re probably delighted that they have teamed up with Apple to place their new album in your iTunes account for free. But if you’re not a fan, you might be wishing there was a way to get rid of it.

I’m a big fan of “free stuff”, but placing any type of content in someone’s account without first asking for permission is a bit presumptuous in my opinion.

Apple seems to have been caught off guard by all the criticism this ostensibly benevolent move has drawn, and they have responded by publishing a page with simple instructions for removing the offending album your iTunes account.

Note to U2 and Apple: We appreciate your generosity, but it might be a good thing to ask for permission in advance next time.

Windows 9 is coming soon. Check out this preview of its awesome new Start Menu!

In fact, in my opinion Windows 8.1 is vastly superior to Windows 8.  [Read more…]

Review: HP ProBook 430 Ultrabook with Windows 7 Professional

Posted on September 10, 2014

hp-probook-430-ultrabookI’m often asked if it’s still possible to buy a new laptop that’s running Windows 7, and the answer is yes. There are actually a lot of Windows 7 PCs still on the market today.

A perfect example is the HP ProBook 430 Ultrabook, a compact and light, but very capable ultrabook laptop that’s selling quite well at the moment.

I really like the modern ultrabooks that have become so popular these days. They typically pack a lot of power and functionality into a thin, light package, and this attractive ultrabook from HP is very nice indeed.  [Read more…]
