Im surprised (ok maybe not) that, that post was actually raised up to +4 interesting instead of -1 troll/flamebait.... should speak all about who shouldn't be manning the switch on an imaginary death star weapon.

A correct opinion is not "blatant" and fair to be part of an article. It IS an article not a technical guide manual. But of course, why give any credit to fair and logical argument about a company having to recognise in a timely maner (timely = less than a week or two). It is much better for the customer to keep opinions out of articles so that the public knowledge about a new product of shiny company A doesn't hurt their shiny shares. The consumer is more protected that way and with a bit of luck, the company(ies) can keep filling their pockets on faulty or broken products while trying to silence or prolong the silence and deny any problems exist so they can keep having nice sales and quarter earnings, like in the sub-prime bank packages, those were very nice financial products rated 5 stars and all, and in the end the consumer safety and quality interests won! After all as we cannot see, the consumer is trully their main concern.

There is a tax evasion crime in germany that reached the media and now is a 'scandal', that crime is linked to one of those 'law abiding banks' so how can you assure they are law abiding accounts if they are under secrecy?

Now Mr. Hummler says "What is going on is a power play,... so what? is that supposed to be a valid excuse to protect a criminal investigation? Just because economic "powers" are involved? Economy is the root of all crimes! No one commits it as a hobby.
