Microsoft, Google, Apple - it don't matter. Put the enema anywhere you
choose and it will not solve the problem. The Onion had a funny bit that
I think is relevant and can be applied across the board:
"Facebook: ‘We Will Make Our Product Worse, You Will Be Upset, And Then
You Will Live With It’"
http://www.theonion.com/articles/facebook-we-will-make-our-product-worse-you-will-b,33074/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=Default%3A1%3ADefault
and I think The Onion bit is relevant for anyone who uses a computer;
suck it up! Humorist Tom Lehrer noted in his introduction to his song
"Pollution" (way back when), "Life is like a sewer - you get out of it
exactly what you put into it. " So true. Have a nice day.
