Technology companies that are bad at it

Voicemail went off. Call forwarding not so simple… first I was given the code for immediate call forward… not what I asked for. There are 3 options for * commands to...
Dick-tator

Go Larry Go!

A Fine Whine
Must whine about whiners today.
First there are the Apple iPhone battery whiners… “we didn’t know it was sealed” they cry and sue. It was a well reported fact it was not user replaceable and if you bought one not knowing that… tough, you didn’t research much. Two years ago my Blackberry came with an underpowered but replaceable battery and I immediately...
