iTunes 11 missing cover flow?

It ***** big time ... not only because of coverflow of course but Apple is turning slowly into a Microsoft thing. You can see it in the small details everywhere.

For all those who use Time Machine:

Really, the easiest way to replace unacceptable updates like iTunes v.11.0 is to use Time Machine's restore option. This option allows individual s/w components to be restored. However, merely restoring the iTunes.app won't cut it. It is also wise to restore the whole iTunes Library where the iTunes.itl file is located. Go to your Home Directory > Music > iTunes and right click on the iTunes folder. You should then see a pop up that offers the restore option. This will restore the supporting files that iTunes.app refers to when it starts up and when it responds to user requests.

I should add that if you have used v.11.0 and added content to your new library, you will have to re-ad that content -- obviously, because it will not appear in your old v.10.7 library.

The only way to stop updates is to be happy with what you have and not update. Both in I.T. and in real life.

Large Western Corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM, H.P. et. al. have many overheads (and people) to pay and in order to do so have to charge for new products/updates - change the old and have "Product Cycles".

The Eastern Culture has for may years apreciated imitation as a valued characteristic. So we will see which philosophy will go forwards, inventors and imitators.

There was nothing wrong with, for example, Windows XP 64 Bit. Or my Sinclair Zx81, 1k (Yes, 1K) RAM. And ultimately the Abacus for counting things, yes I used one of those and still know how to use it.

But times have changed and we always want more, and people are prepared to copy and imitate to get what appears to be more.

Time will tell.

Let us see if this leads us to extinction or not. I am glad to be in this part of human development where we care less and use more.

Hooray!

Adrian.
