I remember that, I can't remember details but did they not allow you to delete it for a certain period of time? I just know I deleted that shite as soon as I was able to do so.

Now with every security and software update, Samsung installs a dozen shitty games to go along with it.

I probably deleted that thing 10 times. Everytime you updated your phone it would show back up.

It was the Vertigo album in 2004.

Even if there wasn’t some nefarious code or spyware embedded in the U2 album, forcing people to even have a U2 album is a crime against humanity all by itself.


I agree. I was thinking it could be worse, like a Dave Matthew’s album, but nah, U2 takes the cake

I actually have zero recollection of this. Chance I had not transitioned to the iPhone yet? Still miss my blackberry.

Remember when they thought she would win, U2 had an album set to be released right after the election and then scrapped it when she was Trumped???

U2 is the worst band I can think of. The absolute worst.

U2 has had some great albums but that one was terrible. It was almost as if after recording it they decided no one was going to buy it so they just gave it away. It back fired on them, introducing those unfamiliar with their work, with their worst album to date. Not a good marketing strategy. It would be like a candy company sending everyone a free sample of their worst candy as an introduction to their brand.

I'm still mad about this. The album sucked and the amount of times I had to listen to it when connecting my phone to my truck drove me insane

That was such bs

I heard about this back in the day before it happened because I know people like that. So I removed iTunes from all my devices and waited until they removed it from the user library before using it again briefly and then deleting it again. CSB

Phuck no, I've never been a pussy-arse Apple conformist.

Bunch of proprietary crap. At least I called that one correctly.
