I just updated my Adobe Reader. The only reason I do it is to patch vulnerabilities in their crappy ubiquitous system.
And, with the update it installs a shortcut to Adobe Reader on my desktop.
Seriously, now, why the hell would I want that? How could this possibly be useful to anyone? If I click on a PDF, it opens with Adobe. If I click on the Adobe link, I still have to go find the PDF that I need to open. Has anyone, ever, found a use for opening Adobe Reader directly and often enough to justify a shortcut on the desktop?!
I use the adobe reader desktop icon to hide my pr0n! Noone will ever click it! Jk, do you honestly think I would have something obscene like adobe reader on my computer?
Ha!
