IE is for downloading FF.

What I do not like about that Apple feature is that there is no more USB hookup.
People can't store and control their own data locally without going through a cloud(someone else's computer).
I'm guessing 'thefappening' and stolen internet nudes of Hollywood stars were gaffled this way.

Apple seemed to take away any feature as soon as they started to well for customers.
It's a total loss of control for the customer.
Not sure why they would try to tick off their bread and butter like that. Only Microsoft did that.

Then I heard the iTunes updates would delete purchased music and I decided that Apple was not the platform for me.
