Oops
Shouldn't Alex's computer say "Quicktime has detected a program update. Download and install update? Y/N" in the first panel rather than upload and install update?
err...
... yes. Yes it should. :)
Some people are so fussy!
Upload, download... close enough... we all understood! Some people just go through life looking for things to fuss about!
However, as long as I have your attention, WHY does he click twice in the third panel? One click should be enough...
If he clicked twice, he must have clicked both Y and N... No wonder Apple took over and did the RIGHT thing.
(I give thanks every day for not being fussy about little things...)

that while making this comic, you make it as a 1-layered image with unremovable text? Otherwise it would be relatively easy to replace. Or is it a problem with the link to the site? Or do like to have some errors in your comics as an expression of human imperfection?
Not hard...
... but I have to modify the svg version then export it to png.
I think it's funnier this
I think it's funnier this way. Suggests that Apple is tricking you to send them your data before it decides what applications you need. Or is that more of an Ubersoft tacic? =P
I know that my ipod tries to
I know that my ipod tries to send apple it's specs. when i used jailbreak (i had to try a few times) i eventually turned off my wireless so it couldn't check for updates or pass my info along.
The transcript is missing Alex's last comment
Are we supposed to be able to correct this ourselves, wiki-style? If so, I don't seem to be able to find where I should click to make the correction myself. Anyways, at least I mentioned it here...
Ooops.
Looks like I jumped the gun when I locked it. Each transcription can be locked so that it won't get overwritten once it's finished.
re: Oops
That which Chris locks let no one unlock...

... but I do intend to fix it today.
