Rather than just improve services for your customers

This article from Slashdot sums it all up. Big companies will spend more time, and money to piss off their already paying customers in order to give them less, rather than do the right thing by them and grow the business. EGO's AND BUSINESS are two awful bed mates.

I have spent the past several months since Sept 08, in a site called Geeks, run by the one and only Chris Pirillo. I have followed him since the late 90's and do admire his work. I am currently struggling with the way in which this site is moderated.
I have been told twice now, that I will be suspended, because I have in fact posted a remark that was thought to be unacceptable behavior, and most recent was told not to use copied content or I would be suspended.

The problem with thew above is A:) On my profile page they put this statement for all to see. No private email, discreet. An example had to be set here, second, the things in which they both stated, simply was not the case, but no matter what I said, it made no difference on the first issue, and this last one kills me, because everyone on this site uses rehashed content from any number of other site, and in many cases it is open and free, and you can find all sorts of the same items on multiple sites. I think my point here is, I need to spend more time making this little blog better, and stop promoting someone else whom could give a flying flip about me.

Restling with my Iphone

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Apple iPhone 3G Review

I always enjoy Paul Thurrotts unbiased style of reviews. He is spot on with this one. I am still a 1.0 Iphone owner and have been suffering with it for the past few months. I love this phone, and know I never would have put up with my past phones with the number of nuisances that have almost become normal on this one. I so much want to see Apple get through this, cause they took a good 1.0 Iphone and wrecked it with the 2.0 upgrade and the firmware updates seem to do little to fix them. Missing my first 9 months of ownership.

It was these kind of moments

Dell: Don't Ask Dell To Replace Your Broken DVD Drive Because It's Simply Not Possible

The things that steered me from DELL more than 2 years ago are moments like this. Amazing that this still goes on. The customer is the customer, and regardless of their ability or not, a request like this should not be treated the way DELL treated it. UNREAL!
