The photos are up

alrighty the pics of camp are up and all is well, save for the fact that I hate my photo gallery software, I’m just about ready to start making my own galleries, just for fun.
Supposedly Flickr is a good photo sharing site, but it seems to be a bit off and non custom. Which I’m not a big fan of. Like seriously, if you have a product, and you want other people to use it, let them use it the way they want to. Sure you can give guidelines or preferences, but you should by no means limit what your consumers can do with your product, once they buy it, its theirs, it is no longer your concern.
I’m not saying to necessarily provide the functionality in you product that everyone wants, but if someone decides to use it in a way you didn’t think about, why should you go out of your way to prevent such uses? It stifles innovation (assuming your product is a good one *cough iphone cough*) and can actually narrow your market scope, so I fail to see the point other than to be a domineering control freak over your product. Unless it is a piece of art and you get upset that someone smashes it with a hammer then makes a mosaic, I dont see how you can complain.

Yes this is a stab at apple because there is “the mac way” which I have never been a fan of, I mean sure the system may work, but there are those time I want to search itunes by the filepath or import my album art from another source, or even ditch itunes altogether, or use a piece of software that is neither MS Office nor adobe, I want to be able to downgrade if the ‘upgrade’ is not as hot as I thought. And goddammit I want to right click. (albeit that that last part is incorporated on most hardware, the mouse is still oddly shaped)
