Comment Re:Stop bundling. (Score 2) 139

I completely agree. This "bundle" mentality is frustrating. Not everyone wants the entire package. I don't like having all of my eggs in one basket because then i'm at the mercy of the whims of the company i'm dealing with. Technology is constantly changing. Products are always changing. I may not necessarily WANT to use your product in 6 months after you ram the latest update down my throat (Gnome, FireFox, Facebook, Windows 8, etc).

Submission + - The Weird Cell Phones Of 2004 (itworld.com)

jfruh writes: 2014 may be the golden age of smartphones, as handset companies have a handle on what people want and are selling it to them by the million. Ten years ago, though, the landscape was weirder and more interesting, with a host of Asian handset manufacturers trying to one up each other on new and sometimes bizarre features. Offerings ranged from the ahead-of-their-times (TV on your phone ... via a satellite connection) to the laughable (a phone you could hold against your forehead to take your temperature).

I'd be wanting to work at 110% of my ability 24/7, if I was forced to learn/use a device foreign to me I'd be pissed. I don't care if it's a surface, iPad, or chalkboard, let me work in a way that's most productive for me.

I'm sure that same argument was used by coaches and teachers when they went from chalk boards to dry erase white boards.

You sound like the VP's i have at work when they were forced to migrate from XP to Win7.

Try using dial up! My sister lives in the boonies and it's either that or satellite Dish. Gmail on dial up is a pig. Every page i tried to go to was awful. Web pages have gotten so bloated with auto playing ads and video that it's unusable on a slow connection.

Let's face it. The bigger the pipe everyone has, the more crap sites are going to load onto their pages to fatten them up. VZW+ATT know this. They know that sites are getting heavier. They have the records and metrics of what their users do. They also know that if they keep the baseline low enough, it'll make their more practical/usable packages seam like a deal!
