Re:Logitech isn't always bad - not *always*. (Score 1)

I'm a not-so-proud owner of a Logitech Harmony remote. It came with some software, the size of which is in sharp contrast to the slow and clumsy functions it provides. Taking a closer look at it revealed that most of its fatness comes from the fact that they ship nothing but an old netscape plus some small additions. To make use of my remote, I've been asked for a lot of personal data, including my e-mail address. Guess what? Now I get a lot of "information" from Logitech about all kinds of things I'm not at all interested in - newsletters, crowded all over with personalized links. I've asked them several times to stop that. Never got any answer, and they keep flooding me from time to time. Using the same Logitech address, but a different sender, I asked for some information about that fabulous laser mice they make. You know what happened. I hadn't to wait for long ... surprise, suprise: the address turned out to be all but dead. And, of course, another address of mine started to get mail from them I've never asked for (that's what I call spam). I'm also a Squeezebox owner. I don't feel comfortable with the idea that the same company which showed they don't care at all about my privacy, Logitech, gets information about my personal habits like listening preferences and times while I'm connected to the Squeezenetwork server. I'm not known to be paranoid (which doesn't mean they aren't after me, of course), but if it weren't for Pandora, I'd probably think about letting my home server run 24/7 and stop using Sqeezenetwork. A word about quality: the Harmony wasn't cheap. One of its knobs already ceased working ...
