Remember when Apple put a U2 song on everyone's iPhone and people went nuts about it? How dare they do that! That was just a song.
Now companies just install whatever apps they want. And people just accept it.
This has been a thing since before smartphones and the U2 stunt though. The PC manufacturers started doing it back in the early 2000s.
Didn't Windows put a Weezer video on there or am I remembering something wrong?
There were some videos on some of the installation CDs...that's all I remember. I don't think they were automatically installed on your hard drive, but I could be wrong.
Yeah the video for Buddy Holly was on the Windows 95 install disc.

I seem to recall one from a woman, too... Ah, yes, I just looked it up - Edie Brickell's Good Times.
Yeah Android manufacturers been doing this since its inception. I remember having to remove the Blockbuster app from my Droid X lol
That's because the provider subsidizes the phone and people rather have that than to pay >1000 dollars at retail for an unbranded phone.
