my only complaint ( really more of an observation ) is that the outside finish of the ipod is rather delicate , so i am going to get a case for mine so it doesn 't get all scratched up .
| 0 | 200 |
if there were any complaints i have , they are marginal , but one is apples ' proprietary set-up for music files , their incompatibility with other music services ( i . e . napster ) is down right wrong .
| 0 | 201 |
also , some other mp3 players such as the nitrus allow you to play wma ( windows media audio ) files , whereas the ipod does not .
| 0 | 202 |
as with most headphones that come with any type of music player , i recommend throwing these into the nearest river , unless you like having hard , round pieces of plastic in your ears .

because steve jobs is a twisted individual and he made sure that he ruined this device by giving it an unrepeatable 18 month battery .
| 0 | 204 |
this was obviously a conspiracy as it is freak in ' easy to manufacture a device with replaceable batteries ! . ! .
| 0 | 205 |
however , in my mind , $299 is a lot to pay for a device that will only last 18 months .

looks and durability : i realize many people are fond of the minimalist white interface .
| 0 | 207 |
the biggest red flag for me was the fact that although my cousin 's player was relatively new , it was riddled with scratches .
| 0 | 208 |
battery : compared to the other players on the market , the ipod has one of the worst batteries around .
| 0 | 209 |
maybe this new design is more durable than the last , but i kind of doubt it .
| 0 | 210 |
we can start by losing the shiny miracle-material cover that you can literally scratch just by looking at it wrong , and thus eliminate the need for third-party " asking " protective covers for an extra thirty bucks .

first of all , i 've never been big on earbuds - they 're just not that comfortable .
| 0 | 212 |
and if you 're a mac user like me , they 've naturally made sure you have no viable alternative .
| 0 | 213 |
however , the battery life isn 't as good as i would like .

this is only a problem at night , during the day the screen is very easy to see .

the only problem is the battery life .

apple 's ipod battery replacement service costs $100 ! .

i have read the installation instructions for both nis 2004 and navy 2004 prior to installation , but still ended up with the same result . . . junk software .
| 0 | 220 |
but if i installed either one of these norton products , neither works after installation ? .
| 0 | 221 |
i have used norton for the past 5 years and for the last 2 years , the software has gotten more and more disgraceful .
| 0 | 222 |
i am glad that i do not work for norton .
| 0 | 223 |
after 4 attempted installs , i have finally given up .
| 0 | 224 |
during install , nis would either freeze or not reboot properly when asked to do so .
| 0 | 225 |
the ms scandisk would appear due to manual shutdown and would only scan to the 2nd bar , over and over ( up to 1 hr , i then shut it down and used go back ) .
| 0 | 226 |
i have never had this problem with any other software on my computer .
| 0 | 227 |
being a past norton customer , i consider this to be a slap to my face .
| 0 | 228 |
buying software that can not be installed normally and being put into the position of having a non-working computer .
| 0 | 229 |
norton has been on a downhill slid recently with their products , but with this one , they have fallen off the cliff .
| 0 | 230 |
as a loyal customer of norton/symantec products , i purchased internet security 2004 as a software firewall and could not be any more dissatisfied with the product ( and hence the one star rating ) .
| 0 | 231 |
yeah - this program protects your computer all right - by locking you off the internet .
| 0 | 232 |
other than that it is all the same except the new updates .
| 0 | 233 |
so far i haven 't had so much complaints except that i still haven 't mastered how to scandisk when using internet security .
| 0 | 234 |
too bad the product is cumbersome and intertwined trying to do so much at one time .
| 0 | 235 |
sometimes a suite is not a good deal and all you get is a bundle of headaches .
| 0 | 236 |
norton internet security 2004 is one of the more buggy implementations .
| 0 | 237 |
this product has virtually all the same installation problems .
| 0 | 238 |
for purposes of clarity , here is my review from that product , edited to be appropriate for this product , since , for the most part , they share many of the same problems .
| 0 | 239 |
this version of internet security 2004 , is beyond hope .
| 0 | 240 |
they are a royal pain to install , and don 't function properly once finally installed -- if you can install them at all .
| 0 | 241 |
the biggest problem is the installation .
| 0 | 242 |
also if you do manage to get it installed , any problems with liveupdate or with system works will also affect the functionality and/or the process of updating internet security .
| 0 | 243 |
i 've had to install and uninstall them four or five times so far , and i 've not to get either product working properly .
| 0 | 244 |
first , it serious , serious installation problems .
| 0 | 245 |
back in may 2004 , when i first reviewed this , it had taken me over 16 hours to install and run .
| 0 | 246 |
almost from the beginning , liveupdate would not function .
| 0 | 247 |
first , it failed whenever connecting to get updates .
| 0 | 248 |
when i finally got it working , it only worked properly for many a month .
| 0 | 249 |
the next problem was that it didn 't recognize all the installed components , so it would not update them , most notably and importantly , virus definitions .
| 0 | 250 |
but this doesn 't make up for it 's innumerable other short-comings , the biggest of which is the inability to download any updates due to problems with liveupdate .
| 0 | 251 |
the other annoyance with this that you have to remove every single remnant of previous version of norton systemworks before you installs this .
| 0 | 252 |
warning ! . the windows " remove program " feature does not do a good job of this , and neither does norton 's own removal program .
| 0 | 253 |
a lot of " fragments " were left in the registry , and it the norton system folders .
| 0 | 254 |
if you have an older version of " internet security " installed , you may also need to remove it as well before proceeding with systemworks install .
| 0 | 255 |
you also need to go in and manually remove many symantec files from the registry .
| 0 | 256 |
as of october , 2004 , these products are not working and i 'm ready to demand a refund from symantec .
| 0 | 257 |
i just uninstalled systemworks and internet security for at least the fifth time due to functionality issues .
| 0 | 258 |
once again it won 't reinstall , even with online and email assistance from symantect technicians .
| 0 | 259 |
the best thing to do with this version , is to leave it on the store shelf . it doesn 't work , and will cost you an enormous amount of your time , not to mention your hard earned dollars .
| 0 | 260 |
personally , i may never buy symantect products again .
| 0 | 261 |
avoid this product at all costs .
| 0 | 262 |
there are some highs to the 2004 edition , but mostly lows .
| 0 | 263 |
the program brings more problems than a virus , albeit not as major problems , just not what you expect for 70 bucks .
| 0 | 264 |
i had a question about the pros and cons of turning off the norton firewall vs . the windows firewall , and waited 45 minutes to speak with a tech support representative because i did not have a " customer priority id number . "
| 0 | 265 |
then when i went to norton 's website to obtain a priority id number per the instructions i had been given , i couldn 't find a way to get one .
| 0 | 266 |
so i e-mailed the online tech support with that simple question , and got a reply which was totally unresponsive ( it looked as though they didn 't actually read the e-mail and just sent back a few boilerplate paragraphs ) .
| 0 | 267 |
and , when you think about it , it 's insulting that norton requires its customers to jump through these hoops -- anyone who can provide proof of purchase , whether on the phone or online ( what if your computer is down ? . ) , should have equal priority .
| 0 | 268 |
stay away from this product ! .
| 0 | 269 |
i don 't know what 's happened to norton , but 2004 is absolute garbage .
| 0 | 270 |
the customer support is pathetic .
| 0 | 271 |
i have found too many bugs in norton internet security professional to recommend it to any one without extreme patience and experience .
| 0 | 272 |
this product is absolutely not ready for release .
| 0 | 273 |
it is buggy , slow and basically frustrates the heck out of the user .
| 0 | 274 |
i am an it professional and have used norton for years , but this product is a complete and utter dud .
| 0 | 275 |
it 's a rip off if one buys norton internet security and antivirus .
| 0 | 276 |
nothing spectacular is done by internet security or by antivirus software .
| 0 | 277 |
even though i have the parental controls off it constantly starts updating them then freezes my computer .
| 0 | 278 |
now in october , 2004 , the firewall said i couldn 't ok anymore software to use the internet because its full .
| 0 | 279 |
im at full capacity ! . ! . ! . ! . i called syman tic and they said they don 't know why but i should get tech 's support at $35/hr to help ! . ! . i did call them and was on hold for 55 minutes until i hung up ! .
| 0 | 280 |
so , don 't buy this or upgrade .
| 0 | 281 |
if you currently own the 2003 version , and are looking to upgrade to the 2004 version , don 't .
| 0 | 282 |
there is little meaningful difference between the two versions aside from the tedious activation process , and the product is currently rather buggy and has problems running unless cleanly installed on a formatted drive .
| 0 | 283 |
if you are new to the market and looking to buy a symantec software product , save yourself some money and buy the 2003 version .
| 0 | 284 |
from day one , we 've had hangups , crashes , glitches , continual reboots , long shutdowns due to " cc app . exe " program running which is a norton program .
| 0 | 285 |
long reboots due to norton taking forever to boot .
| 0 | 286 |
we constantly got " windows virtual memory low " error messages popping up foll wed by ridiculous slowdowns and/or crashes .
| 0 | 287 |
norton online support does not even acknowledge this problem nor does the computer company that preloaded it on our new computer .
| 0 | 288 |
norton support is completely pathetic .
| 0 | 289 |
do not buy any home version of norton anything .
| 0 | 290 |
our norton internet/av 2004 was terrible right from the get go , so i 'd think that if steelworks is ok now , it should remain ok .
| 0 | 291 |
just the home version of norton internet/av has too many glitches and problems to even remotely bother with .
| 0 | 292 |
i am an advanced computer user , so i can not even imagine how a new or novice user would ever get this terrible program to work ! .
| 0 | 293 |
seems the " program scan " feature did not find the exe file for outlook ! .
| 0 | 294 |
like most of their solutions ( which first blame other applications for errors ) , the tech persons line was that this was probably a microsoft error - it was not .
| 0 | 295 |
it was a symantec error .
| 0 | 296 |
after a recent update , i can no longer open more then 1 browser window .
| 0 | 297 |
i 've searched the program and their online tech support ( worthless ) and have found no solutions .
| 0 | 298 |
this is definitely one of those products , especially as the company is leaning more towards making a profit .
