In what way does it fundamentally change the product? Does it stop keeping food cold? Does it stop generating a shopping list and displaying it on the screen? What fundamental feature in the product description does it stop doing or fundamentally change?

Don't get me wrong, I'd be very unhappy if this happened to me. But, I think you're confusing fundamental with cosmetic.

If you bought a silver fridge and it changed it's colour without warning to red and no longer fit with your colour scheme, sure you'd probably be able to claim for a refund, or if outside that period, a repair or replacement. Depending on how these are ads function, that might be a difficult parallel to draw. Outside the window of time when you can change your mind for a refund, I would bet that most consumer laws don't give you any recourse. I would also bet that Samsung's lawyers reviewed the laws in the markets where they enable this, leaving your only recourse being to the courts instead the retailer.

He wrote "my Country". That's incorrect. Try reading before replying. Are you German? If so, you probably should avoid the topic of capitalisation of nouns in English.

As for your last sentence whinging about Apple quotes, whinge on. It's a /. bug. Turning off smart quotes will still leave a plethora of situations like my currency symbol or ellipsis that result in a mess. I will not change this setting for one website. Get used to it.

They can call me at the pub, but theyâ(TM)ll have to tolerate background noise and me steadily getting more sloshed and not remembering anything. Better to just send me the meeting notes and Iâ(TM)ll change the plans tomorrow ;). Some of us actually have a life, and some of us also respect our colleagues and reports (which starts with respecting their time).
