    If you would have posted those details in the first place, I would have accepted your argument and not bothered to clarify anything. But instead I now find myself battling revisionist history...



    1) I was clear when I wrote BINARIES and APP. You didn't read clearly enough, accept it.



    2) It was after I dissected the parts of the iTunes app because you failed to understand that you then made an asinine comment about humpback whales. The context should be clear to all native English speakers but if you had an issue you should have inquired as to the meaning instead of claiming that binaries are half the size of the app. Now you're just backpedaling because you failed to comprehend the difference between a binary and the Mac OS X app.

    Ooh! If you want to battle revisionist history, come to the "monster release" iPhone thread with me and help me set the "iPhone 5" crowd straight!

    Have they been doing this with tertiary point updates to iTunes (and other apps) within Software Updater? Regardless, I do like see this smaller update sizes.

    Too bad this update didn't address the iOS 5 and iTunes wireless syncing error bug. . It's starting to get very annoying (unsure if it's an iTunes or iOS bug). I get about 10-20 a day (because 4 devices sync wirelessly).



    "Unknown error 0xE800007F"

    iTunes 10.5.3 does not recognize/sync purchases from my iTunes U app on iPad



    One problem after the next on this rollout. Syncing in general on iTunes continues to deteriorate, IMO. Come on Apple

    Another example - When I download a textbook, it does not show up under "Books" on iTunes. I can go on and on about how the flow and content management of all this was not well thought out

    There is no difference for a lot of Mac OS X apps. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type:



    ls /usr/bin



    There's about 500 Mac OS X apps in that folder which are just binary files. For those apps, the binary file _is_ the app.



    This is why I like to make the distinction clear between an app and an application bundle. Because, when I think about apps, I think about all types of applications I've used (not just Mac OS X application bundles).
