Journal Journal: Trolls never die

Journal by 1337 Apple Zealot on Friday November 16, 2007 @06:59AM

Its been four years since I last wrote in my "Journal". Yes I am a troll, I don't mind posting at -1. Slashdot is not as good as its used to be. Even Linux has eventually given up on the Desktop. Linux had a good chance in 2002-2004, but Gnome messed up with the file management and KDE imploded with overload. Microsoft is won by many factors, such as multi-billion dollar marketing and support not just pre-installation. To all 16 year old nerds reading this, don't waste your life on thinking

Store Says DRM Causes 3 of 4 Support Calls 155

Carter writes "Ars Technica is reporting that Musicload, one of Europe's largest movie stores, has found that 75% of its customer support problems are caused by DRM. Users have frequent problems using the music that they have purchased, which has led Musicload to try selling independent label music without DRM. Artists choosing to abandon DRM in favor of good old-fashioned MP3 have seen 40% growth in sales since December. Good to see someone in the business both 'gets it' and is willing to do something about it."
