Comment Re:Not covered by insurance or the auto shop? (Score 1) 288

I understand your point of view, but why do you feel this is owed by the insurance company? The insurance company owes the policyholder indemnity, and that is, the cost to repair the vehicle. The policyholder has the ultimate say who does the repair. The insurance company paid for an OE airbag replacement. The shop (most likely) unknowingly put the counterfeit in. It is between the owner of the vehicle and the body shop at that point.

Facebook.com first, then user@facebook.com user@google.com, then came Google+ So the question is, do you really want your e-mail address to be integrated with your social site?

Honestly if you think that you can buy yourself the ability to track the location of ANY cell phone, arbitrarily, for a mere 1.99, I suppose it is completely out of the question to expect such an individual to actually read the description of something he is about to pay for. Apple is not acting unprofessional here. The app is clearly marked as a prank, functions as a prank and does everything outlined in a make-believe fashion. And here comes government to save the idiots from themselves.

Comment User's fault for not reading app description (Score 2, Informative) 186

FTFA:

The brouhaha started when local users complained that an iPhone app called Super Cell Phone Tracker, which they bought online from the Apple's App Store for US$1.99, did not work at all and there was no way they could ask for a refund. According to the App Store description, the tracker program is a joke and intended only for fun. However, not all buyers read the description before downloading the software.

If you take a look at poorly rated similar prank apps, the reviews are trife with "this doesn't work, I got ripped off" even though the app description clearly states it's a prank, oftentimes in the first sentence.
