Why do you think that Google is responsible for providing you with the opportunity of using Skype? Did they have a contract with you? Did they disable Skype usage with a firmware update?
The fact is that you bought a product, assuming it would do something you wanted it to do, it didn't do it, and you were disappointed. I don't see what Microsoft has to do with your Google (not Microsoft) Chrome (not Windows) product. Are you pissed at Ford for something your Audi doesn't support?
You don't get it, stop using coded language like "responsibility". That is fucking bullshit, that is what allows for our free for all market.
I am talking about the way humans view business. Stop fucking defending it as if it always shits rainbows.
I am saying that they could do better to prevent a bad experience if they wanted to. You are arguing legality, I am arguing pragmatism. The way they do it now is simply throwing anything they want at the consumer and letting them deal with it. It does work for the profit margin sure, but collectively speaking as a climate, it is negated by the flood of consumerism. it is a hidden cost. I simply think it is simply better to avoid that by setting up conditions so that fewer people walk away with a bad taste in their mouths.
Your stupidly arguing "responsibility" is also why we cant get off big oil. The same stupid language that Nader had to fight to get car companies to make safer cars. Yes they can do what they want, but what I am arguing is why? I simply don't think they understand the hidden cost to society by doing it the way they do.
The fact is they don't care. So if your argument is they are under no obligation to care, yea and? That is exactly why I am taking this product back today. If they want my business in the future then they should think twice about what they do in their boardrooms. Or is your argument that me going somewhere else to send them a message is not part of that free market?
I find it funny when atheists rightfully blast the blind faith of religion, but worship the private sector blindly the same way. NO sorry, blaming the customer all the time is what you are advocating.
No offense, but that's crazy talk.
You bought a fucking notebook computer, and it didn't do what you wanted, and you go from that to rants about big oil? Dude. . . come on.
As for me worshiping anything. . . fuck off. But I don't believe every company has to model itself after your personal needs of the day. Next time, research your product and see if it does what you want it to.
