Sony has been criticized for loading its Vaio laptops with bloatware, or ineffective and unrequested software that supposedly allows the user to immediately use the laptop for multimedia purposes.

yup

not as much as my phone, though, which now drops internet when i'm in my house and it'll do it for like 5 mins at a time. it started right when we got fiber, though my friend told me the two have nothing to do with each other w/r/t interference.

Thinking about getting a refurbished iPad 2. Mostly for reading e-books (atm) and I don't think I'll need a cellular connection for it. I can get one at about the same price through my cell provider but that's with a 2 year plan but I'm curious as to how much more it would be tacked onto my monthly bill.

yep

i wonder how many people are employed at time warner just to handle the volume of "unplug it then plug it back in" tech support calls

the other option is AT&T who have something akin to the Labyrinth of legend for a "customer support" hotline complete with an IT minotaur that says there's nothing wrong with your connection and you have to buy a new 100 dollar router even though you haven't finished paying for the one they made you buy in the first place

Whenever the internet goes completely down (twice so far in a year versus zero times in five years under the old company) I do a live chat on my phone and the person is always like "yep its down can't tell you when it will be up"

thanks?

this happened with my phone service a year or two back. i could not make or receive calls and i'd receive text messages days later.

after several calls i was sent something called an airave (something like an in-home miniature cell tower) which did not work. one day i refused to get off the phone with a woman until they comped my monthly bill for lack of service. took forever and i could tell she was getting mad at me (which was very satisfying), but i got my money back.

i'm glad it was really satisfying to make a CS person mad at you, i mean you are profoundly irritating i guess you should take "pride" in abusing the proletarian for your own ends instead of you know acting like an adult and going "May I speak with your supervisor?"

i did. the supervisor was the person i would not let off the phone. i even asked to speak with her supervisor. she kept saying things like 'i understand your concern ma'am, but at the moment there is nothing we can do while service is down'. after hearing that from no less than 5 people (over a period of a week +) who really just want to get to the next call, i was ticked and it was nice to elicit some emotion (any would have done) from anyone.

and evidently there was something that could be done because i was refunded 65 smackers that day.

at one point i went to a physical store and the woman there was very nice and i believed her when she said she did not have the power to change my bill. however, she was the one who suggested i called customer service and really push them. it must have been because when i introduced myself i shook her hand. nah. i don't know, but her advice worked.

refusing to get off the phone is childish, which is par for your shitty little putt-putt of life

and i'm not sure what you were trying to "prove" by quoting me, impervious to irony as ever, i work in the industry and i have to tolerate people like that and they always get what they want and it's always irritating.

people like you being obstinate babies instead of saying the magic S word also tend to just make things awkward and unpleasant.

listen, i pay for service. i don't have my service for over a month... i want my money back. and i was sick of being told i would get a callback that day only to have to call back myself a couple days later and start all over again.

i asked for a supervisor every time i was told the person could not do anything... well, may i speak with someone who can?

don't play with my money (because i don't have much). i had no problem when i was told service would be out a few days. then a few days later they didn't know when it would be back. after that they were only trying to stave off doing anything about it besides telling me to wait.

i've worked in call centers. i know people can be unreasonable, but sometimes it's the big business screwing the customer.
