Comment unbelievable, yet very believable (Score 2, Insightful) 492

Apple makes some of the dumbest moves in regards to the lifeline of their app store - the developers! Boy are they good at pissing people off! I'm a very happy shareholder (picked it up at 27 back when...!) but every day there's some new twist that they've pulled and alienated this group or that. I think parental controls and allowing any app that doesn't do harm to the phone itself would be their best stance - how many sales are they missing because of these China-like rules?

Comment Foxfire! (Score 1) 876

I get it all the time - nobody can say Firefox, it's always Foxfire. Drives me nuts. I've been doing on-site service with the company I started for 10+ years and I really would love to be insulated from the customers. I don't want to deal with them on the phone or via e-mail, I want to show up and fix what needs fixin' or whatever else I have to do. Babbling on the phone about the same thing over and over again is driving me crazy.

I thought Dell 'got it' and was behind those of us that want XP instead of the nightmare that is Vista. How can they be raising the cost of older software?! Makes me sick. (They do run deals with no upgrade costs *sometimes* as far as I know.) On a side note: It was $99 before for the upgrade/downgrade to Vista, how is $150 three times the previous cost? I've worked on many a Vista computer (including beta testing back when) and I've never liked it, and have really grown hate it. What a waste of power. On a brand new system, "Please wait while Vista tests the performance..." Are you kidding? Nice out of box experience. Simply transferring files can be such a pain and so slooooooooow. UAC triggers a gag reflex.

Slashdot really kicks ass. I'm shocked at how customizable this site is and how much a user can do. Groovy.
