Why does apple hate .avi's?

Air Strike?

Anyone who has played Call of Duty 4 will attest to the tense action of calling in an airstrike and trying not to die in the process. as a player when that person works their way up to 5 kills and is awarded an airstike only two additional kills are required for a helicopter. so when they get the airstike and find safe place to place it, the game displays a flat map screen. the airstrike goes in a line in one direction throwing bombs down at the surface.

the problem here is if you want the airstrike to come in north to south, well you better hope it does cause it probably wont. they do what they want. it can come in east to west and hit nothing but buildings. it is absolutely stupid. who in the design team stood up and said, "I know lets not let the player control the direction of the airstrikes!", "BRILLIANT!". i just do not understand why i cannot control the direction of the airstike.

Year Metadata?

Why does Apple/iTunes hate year metadata? no year views on ipods or iphones. why?

Update:
In the new iOS 4.0 my dream came true. inside album view they added the album art and some metadata at the top. I am a happy person now. :)

Toledo Hospital

I started working at Toledo Hospital 4 days ago. it is astounding how much trash that place produces. anything the patients touch needs to be thrown away. it is completely understandable, but most of the stuff is plastic. wouldn't it be smart to collect all the plastic somehow, sell it to a recycling factory. melt it all back down, and than the hospital purchases the re-fabricated plastics from the company at a lower price. i am amazed at some of the stuff i am forced to toss. heavy plastic measuring cups. heavy plastic sports bottles too. when i say heavy plastic i mean the kind of plastic ya feel bad throwing away, not the flimsy dollar store stuff. un-opened food, all kinds of plastic tubing. the hospital used to recycle cans and bottles in the cafeteria, but it got to expensive so they stopped. they tell us consumers to recycle to save the environment. crock of shit that is. hospitals generate more trash than any consumer could even dream of.

iTunes Genre

So, i have a pretty large music library in my iTunes library. the problem is i have 7,000 songs with wrong genres. now i could quit my job and spend the rest of my life figuring out all the genres, but my computer chair is not that comfortable and i would need money to purchase a new chair. i digress, why can i not get genre information for songs from the iTunes music store. the music store allows me to pull album art from their database, but not genres. why not? so now i am stuck scratching my head trying to figure out how to quickly fix the genres in my library.

Questionable Standards?

So I bought a fm transmitter for my iphone, well actually I bought it for my zune about 2 years ago. but nevertheless I bought it and I used it many times draining I would say at least a dozen AAA batteries(and my wallet, batteries are expensive). so recently I pulled it out of my tangled technology drawer because I was tired of hearing the BS on the radio. so I decided to save some money and use rechargeable batteries. now I use rechargeable AA's all the time for my mighty mouse and 360 controllers. so I am not new to them. so I charged up a few AAA's and put them in the transmitter. it didn't work. stunned because the transmitter cost 50 dollars, I decided to test some more AAA's thinking maybe the first batch were bad. those didn't work either. so I decided to test some regular AAA's and viola it worked. flabbergasted I stood in confusion because this didn't make any logical sense to me. so I started seeing the requirement of the batteries. and I found out that a standard AAA puts out 1.5 Volts and that is what the transmitter requires. BUT the rechargeable only put out 1.2 Volts. WHY? I do not understand why this is the way it is. I can usually come up with a crack pot reason, but I am actually answerless. I have no idea. so ya standards my ass.
