Better than what at doing what? There are much better media player/organizers out there, whether you're talking about playback, organization, format support, technical support, ripping, appearance, usability, speed/responsiveness, and with better maintained (and open source) code. VLC, MPC-HC, Foobar... And MusicBrainz Picard is 12.8 million percent better at tagging and organizing libraries.
iTunes is better at handling iThings, but only because Apple won't allow you to use anything else.
I like to watch TV and play games at the same time. At the time this happened, my PC was connected to my TV and to a monitor mounted on a swing arm next to the couch (it was sweet, but my lady didn't like it). Turns out, the itunes video player can't handle multiple monitors. Fullscreen on one = black screen on the other! Every other video player out there can handle such a setup, even Windows Media Player. I mentioned how absurd this was in my demand for a refund.
MPC-HC played a pirated copy just fine on my TV whilst Pillars of Eternity ran on the monitor.
That's what happens when you require people to use shit in order to do things legally.
Did you just sincerely reference the illuminati? Forget what I said before. Your hat is 400 years out of date. Might as well blame it all on witchcraft or ghosts.
Yeah, all those independent investigative journalists are just stooges for the CIA. The ICIJ are such great deep-cover agents that they actively work against intelligence agencies! It's not like the head of the organization has gone on the air and explained exactly why they're releasing the docs the way they are.
Oh, and I forgot to ask why the State Department is so angry at Canada, the UK, Iceland and all the other close allies who had citizens implicated. Seems a bit silly considering they could not be closer to the US in terms of international law.
Who's "we"? If you mean America, then it really doesn't matter how strong the laws are. We could make it a capital offence and it won't make one bit of difference. Because the US doesn't collect Swiss taxes from Swiss citizens, or punish them for evading said taxes. Our laws don't apply outside the US and we don't enforce other nation's tax laws for them.
The OP also seems to want the FBI to arrest Canadian tax evaders and charge them with violating US racketeering laws, or kill them in drone strikes.
As an American, I'd prefer not to suddenly take over responsibility for enforcing Canadian law or blow up Canadian citizens. I have a feeling all of Canada agrees with me on that.
So, the DoJ should file RICO charges against foreign nationals for possible crimes committed against the sovereign nations of which they are citizens, while in said nations? Have you never heard of jurisdiction?
What you suggest is entirely absurd. If an Englishman is evading UK taxes, that's a matter for the UK. Not the US. Yet you seem to want to use the US military and legal code to enforce foreign tax laws in foreign nations. I could stand next to you with a megaphone, screaming "STUPID!" in your face for days without even coming close to expressing how incredibly dumb that is.
Don't "run" it? If ribosomes can even read it and successfully create proteins from the code that is. I think you need specific tags to tell them where to start and stop anyhow, so if those aren't in the DNA nothing happens.
Not the idea of USB-C headsets in general, but the idea of forking headphones. Headphones are cheap and plentiful. Virtually anything that plays sound has a 3.5mm jack, so a changeover would be a massive pain in the ass. It would also be the end of cheap headphones! DACs and itty-bitty amps may be fairly cheap, but they aren't that cheap.
Phono jacks are a global standard for audio connectivity. They are an old standard, yes. Very old. But there's no reason to try and make it obsolete. It's perfectly suited to it's task, and we are so path dependant now that making such a huge change requires more than the availability of a potential replacement tech. If there isn't a pressing need for a replacement, like a serious engineering or tech limitation, why bother?
I know why Apple would want to 'bother' - shitty behavior. USB-C means they can lock out 3rd party headphones and force everyone to buy their own.
I've never had Time Warner myself, but I have Charter now, had Comcast before that, and (I think, not 100% sure) Bright House before that. Charter beats Comcast hands-down for customer service and not being greedy a-holes. So did Bright House. And neither of them had data caps. Comcast implemented one (announcing "good news, we're raising the cap to 300GB/month!") after I signed up with assurances that there was no cap.
Charter has never lied to me, Comcast did all the time. The X1 platform is far superior to anything else I've seen though. It was really nice to not see the same awful interface every cable box has been using for 20+ years.
My biggest gripe is with Charter's OnDemand offerings. Shockingly slim pickings, inexplicably absent HD streams, no rewind... I'm hoping that's down to the "telling its content providers that they cannot also sell shows online" bit and that it will now change.
Realistically though, I think he's hoping that at a brokered convention he'll be the one to end up with the nomination because he's the only one not hated by large chunks of the party.
Is that what these apps are for? Seems to me you'd want special purpose-built and private apps for campaign volunteers to help with all that, and a separate, mostly useless app for supporters. I'd think the latter would be little more than a frontend for media feeds.
I wonder if there's a company making a basic, non-partisan, campaign volunteer app that can be used (and branded) for any campaign that signs up. Instead of each campaign writing it's own, write one great one and sell it to everyone. Charge the campaign a per-user fee, so it's affordable for any size campaign, and an extra fee for branding because big campaigns will want it and be able to pay extra.
Is that how it works now, or has the market not recognized the opportunity?

Try something else. If all you use is iTunes, on a single monitor Mac, you'll never see how woefully lacking it is.

Apophenia.

Heh... Good one.
Ignorance.
I have good news for you! The mainstream media wasn't involved! At all. The ICIJ specifically excluded them!
Oh, wait.. http://www.npr.org/podcasts/45...
I don't think you thought this through.
It must be the Illuminati's doing! Or was it the Freemasons? Knights Templar? Aliens? The Devil himself?

Hey, there's a quote in there from someone named Zero Hedge. If that isn't credible, I don't know what is.
No... Even an idiot should recognize that as absurd. From pretty much any direction you could approach it.

political economies? Or either component field?
I'd rather they be forced to compete instead of being permitted to have regional monopolies.

Your idea is funnier though.

How much do you have to pay someone to not hang out on facebook at work?
