Back on June 24th Ryan Naraine did a post on the ZDNet blog likening Apple’s bundling of additional software with their security updates as Badware Behavior. I had seen these updates and while I agreed at the time this was pretty questionable Apple at least had the courtesy to separate new software from the actual security update.

It appears that today Apple has reached a new low by actually bundling iTunes with their Quicktime update, forcing you to add iTunes to keep Quicktime up to date and secure.

This set off alarms as I don’t have nor do I want iTunes installed on my computer yet Apple seems to think I should.

Come on Apple, I’m just not cool enough to use an ‘i’ anything so please stop rubbing it in.
