I have an older laptop, it's true. However, it is capable of running Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and other high end software with ease. It may be older but its still packs a pretty decent punch. Why do I bring this up? Today I bought my first TV show off of iTunes. I am a bachelor for two weeks and we don't have TV; it gets really lonely here so I decided I wanted something to watch. I got an episode of The Office. When it was done downloading I fired it up, and, for some reason I can't figure out, the video was showing like one out over every 30 frames and started pegging my CPU. At first I thought that maybe I had too many things open so I closed all my apps and turned off Folding@home. This didn't help. I eventually had to make the video window so small that is isn't worth watching. Pain. I want my two dollars back. You hear me Apple? Two Dollars! I will be showing up at your door with my switch-blade comb shortly.
