Comment Makes me sad (Score 3, Interesting) 383

Been a Mac user for a very long time now. Dont relish the thought of seeing the OS turning into a Freemium superhighway where you get nothing but crappy apps with ads from devs hoping youâ(TM)ll move on to their Pro version for $9 a month. X86 was the only thing keeping some of that garbage out of there which is an odd thing to say. Plus does completely unrestricted homebrew really have a future? Maybe Iâ(TM)m just being a big baby who doesnâ(TM)t like change. I guess weâ(TM)ll see.

Comment Fake Reviews (Score 2) 54

Almost certainly tons of fake reviews and possibly fake downloads where they use promo codes etc. I highly doubt so many Mac users are using this.

Fake reviews for products is a HUGE industry and almost certainly thousands of people in India got paid to astroturf this app to the top. Amazon is literally being crippled by fake reviews and dodgy products.

Comment Chrome Extensions = Russian Roulette (Score 2) 59

Chrome has a terrible record for this. And the worst part is I use Chrome. Have a bunch of extensions I count on daily. I'm guessing the Ublock Origin extension is safe but for my and your other less popular but still super helpful extensions you and I are taking HUGE risks every day by using them.

Get your shit together Google.

Comment I have a better suggestion (Score 2, Insightful) 68

Stop flooding your entire Store with counterfeit goods. Also stop bundling everything with the now "more expensive than ever" Prime service. Does almost a 200 billion dollar a year company that has 40% of all e-commerce need to keep constantly raising its monthly charges? 40% freaking percent, please take a minute to think about that. When is enough enough and how big is too big. * I like my 2 day shipping and Fire TV but it doesn't mean I can't point out their issues.

That"s not what my research shows. Sound like more like a made up anti-environmental myth than anything. Brands that were less reliable previously have had to step up their game and produce more reliable cars that get better mileage. IMHO forcing higher mileage targets has forced an explosion of innovation and super powerful fuel efficient cars. Hell look what the super cats are doing now. The only place it's gone off the rails is Driver distraction and infotainment systems. But hopefully within the next five years things will improve there.

If we had one single company that owned all the TV stations all the magazines all the radio stations and all the Internet infrastructure i'm sure we would get better customer service and the pricing would probably be better too. Why do liberals keep wanting to harm corporations who are just trying to innovate?
