I have come to the conclusion that I-Tunes is dangerous, and I shouldn't be allowed to use it. Don't get me wrong, Apple has done nothing wrong (this time!) and I'm not threatening to sue or any such nonsense. I know that the problem lies with me, and I'm just acknowledging it.
You see, it's just too easy. And like so many internet enthusiasts (is that a thing?), I jump from tangent to tangent, searching for The Vaccines and somehow ending up at Vanilla Ice's greatest hits. And of course, finding a hundred things I like in between. And at each one that catches my attention, it looks reasonable. £4.99 for Hall and Oats, Bargain! And that's where it all goes wrong.
I even have the little warning button pop up before each purchase:
But it's just a button after all, and individually, they don't seem like a big deal. But then you notice the charges the next day, and you just spend £40 on music that was last popular when your corduroy trousers were. So there you have it, I'm a 41 year old man in need of parental controls for his online purchases.
