iphone die phone who cares about profits

By Wilbur Corncob at 06/24/07 11:18
CNN is blather away today (well, actually on June 22) about the iphone being set to ring up profits; "Consumers -- not to mention many tech writers and investors -- expect the iPhone to be a superior, standard-setting device. In other words, the iPod of cell phones."

Blah blah blah. I could care less. The iphone is the last product I care to try. Why?

Simply because my experiences with itunes on my pc. The only thing I desire with itunes is to get it off my computer as fast as possible.

I think the iphone hype is a result of brandnames being more important than a quality product with excellent functionality. Maybe the iphone has all that but you'd never know with the cult like hype surrounding in.

You can go buy (and use) an iphone if you like... and be a member of some absurd Apple cult.... maybe one day the ringing iphone will be a subliminal signal for you to go do something bad... don't forget Jonestown!

And... maybe your iphone will be locked too... so you can switch to a different cult (as if they will keep you their customer).

In my view Apple Computer has gone downhill since the Apple II system.

Hating the Cable Company

By Wilbur Corncob at 06/15/07 07:54
I realize this is the phone hell blog, but I think the cable companies are often a regular source of grief for their clients as well.

I remember years ago we moved into our new house and the cable service was working! Not wanting to be dishonest and steal the cable service, I called the cable company to request service in my name.

Later that day the cable company came out and disconnected the cable. They should they could return to install the service in my name in a week or two!

They said the disconnect and reconnect had to be seperate orders because there might be a problem with the signal or something!

Of course that is absurd. All they needed to do was start billing me and IF I had a problem with the signal I could schedule a repair call.

The result of such a policy would be less work for them and a more satisified customer. Their method of operating inspired me to install a satellite system (10' dish) and stop paying their monthly fee.
