There is one type of article that always lifts my spirits: Company fined $3m for adware use. Only problem here is that the FTC let them off with a nominal fine. They should close them down, grab all the assets and put all stockholders in jail for 20 years without parole. The death penalty is too good for these creeps. Sad thing is that this company will probably recover with even higher profit margins.

Will the people with Zango on their computers pay attention? Probably not. This passive attitude is why the computer industry is full of crooks and going straight to hell. You have Microsoft with over 300 "fixes" concerning XP and the number is still growing. Apple charges a ridiculous fee for outdated hardware and gets away with it. Yahoo is putting spyware, adware, malware, dungware or whatever it's called today, on your computers left and right, but I still see this garbage used as home pages everywhere. Hey FTC, when will y'all deal with these jerks?

Yes, yes, still better a Microsoft world than an Apple one. It is true that since Windows is the big boy on the block they are the primary target. Still, they need to worry more about customer satisfaction and less about profit. Good Lord knows they've made enough over the past few years. This latest fiasco called Vista will most likely be another never ending string of "fixes." Yes, yes, they are to blame, but the jerks tampering with their code are even more guilty of violating the rights of the public.

Rant over. Gosh, this can be quite tiring. Maybe tomorrow I'll write about the resident possum and his latest shenanigans. Now I need to review the first sentence up there and decide what made me get out the soapbox (insert evil grin here).
