Wants Your True Confessions
07/05/2004 10:47 AMA couple of weeks ago we ran a feature called "Confessions of a
Cellphone Seller: The Sprint Edition," written by an in-store customer
service representative for Sprint, and we've gotten nothing but good
feedback about it on the whole, and we'll definitely be keeping it
updated as new information and new products come in. What would be
nice, though, is if we could get coverage of all the carriers, and
that's where you, presuming you work as an in-store representative,
come in.
Details after the jump.

01/07/2004 03:21 PMDear Customer Service: Today I had a problem and called your
help-line. I (like quite a few people) would prefer to solve the
problem myself using your website, and I (like an increasing portion
of the population) am perfectly competent to do so. Unfortunately,
your web site does not have a solution to this particular problem, so
I need to talk to a person. Imagine my dismay when, at three
successive levels of telephone menu, I have to listen to lengthy
exhortations on the wonderfulness of your Web site and on how it could
solve my problem if I would go away and (please, please) not call you.
If I could use the Web site, I wouldn’t be calling. This guarantees
that by the time I eventually get through to a person, I will be
irritated and prone to unfriendliness. As the proportion of people who
are Web-connected and Web-competent increases, the cost-effectiveness
of this kind of go-away message is going to fall. Please bear this in
mind.

Sprint PCS Customer Service Follies
Sprint PCS Customer Service Follies
06/28/2004 07:42 PMI was trying to get my wife Karen's defective cell phone replaced. The
repair place had never seen the model in question and the national
phone number, which I had to call 4 times to get a human, said they
couldn't just send a replacement because it's not being made any more.
I used the store locator on their web site and got the number of the
local repair shop. I dialed it, and the option for customer service
kicked me back to the main line. I called back and hit "0" right away.
The response? An automated "Good bye". And they hung me up! What's up
with that? I combed through the invoices one at a time ooking in vain
for anything detailed about the phone in question to prove it's still
under warranty. There is no search function—all the bills are in
PDF. Never mind that the one helpful person I talked to on the
national number told me the activation date put it under six months).
Later, after going back twice, we managed to browbeat them into doing
the right thing and replacing the defective cell phone. The new cell
phone had this crappy imitation of the Mac OS X Dock, which Ask Tog
(Bruce Tognazzini, a former Apple employer) has already trashed for
its poor usability, that my wife had to turn off before she could
stand to use it....

they suddenly decide, after the fact, to
chang
e their privacy policy for their online sites, which they say is
necessary for better customer service. Specifically, they say that
Disney customers increasingly want to be able to tie their offline and
online activities together, but as current online privacy policies
forbid them from sharing info between their own entities, certain info
that would be useful to share between, say, Disney online and a Disney
theme park cannot be shared. However, at the same time, they're also
sneaking in changes to make it easier for their "selected partners" to
spam you. Even better, according to some, the "opt out" options they
give you have
been turning up "Page Not Found" 404 errors.

Monroe County Family Court Judge Marilyn O'Connor ruled March 31

Maybe. But not sufficiently so for the
NY
ACLU to say
much anything about it.
Maybe the Judge could have recommended the same sex-ed scheme that
shows, in parts of England and Wales where it [called A Pause] was
trialled in 104 schools, sexual intercourse among 16-year-olds fell by
up to 20 per cent.
Now that may mean we have to have
more
discussion of oral and manual, with less genital-genital emphasis.
Anything that promotes the right to say 'no' amongst vulnerable young
folks is alright by me.

want to use the hot corners (I already have them overloaded with
Exposé and I want to have the top left corner free so I don't have to
worry about counting pixels when I try and access the Apple menu), but
so far the best way to lock the Powerbook is to go and turn the lid
down and then back up again. which turns on the screen saver (and
stops iTunes, BTW, since the computer goes to sleep for a second).
I know there are Mac people reading me, so please: tell me which key
combination I have to use, or which freeware application I have to
install to just be able to press Apple-F12 to lock the computer! I've
been trying to find the info from Google, but apparently I haven't
been able to figure out the right keywords.
Frustrated now!
(Sorry for the headline, just wanted to grab your attention there. My
Mac Powerbook does NOT suck, it is a wonderful little machine and I
grow more attached to it every day. It is by far the best computer
I've ever owned. I just need this one thing to make it perfect.

Passym sucks
Passym sucks
01/22/2004 03:17 AMTonight is my second night in an Embassy Suites with Passym
Wireless internet access, and I have to say that Passym really
sucks.
Connectivity is just horrible. I don't know why the service sucks
so badly... it might be because I'm in a corner room (they're larger
at the Embassy Suites) or it might be because I'm using a Macintosh,
but neither of those two things should be reasons that the
connectivity sucks so badly...
Maybe there are too many people using the service to keep up with
what I want to do, but that shouldn't be a problem. I've normally
stayed in Wyndham and Marriot hotels with Wayport access, and even
though most of the time those hotels only provide wired access, they
always worked just fine. I could connect to my office's VPN at the
most complicated end of connectivity issues, and I could definitely
send email through my own servers, but with this silly Passym service,
I can't connect to the VPN and I can't even send email through my own
service... and the speeds are terribly slow compared to what I expect
them to be... especially at $10/day.
The worst part is that to get technical support, I'm supposed to
email their support@ email address... no one here at the hotel knows
anything about the service from a technical/troubleshooting
stand-point, and I can't get email out through my email client. Good
thing I have a webmail client set up on my server...
So, next time I stay in a hotel, I'll ask them if they have
internet access, and I'll ask who the provider is. If it's Passym,
I'll choose a different hotel if internet connectivity will be a
need.

Why JSP Sucks So Hard
Why JSP Sucks So Hard
12/19/2002 11:43 PMonce again my UI engineers will be taking perfectly good HTML
written in Dreamweaver and tearing it apart, throwing out some of it
and rewriting other parts of it, just to make it work with the JSP
they're writing. Once they're done, the HTML author will have
absolutely no clue what the page does any more, and will have no
desire or ability to edit it. When we insist that no really we need
this redesigned, we'll spend twice as long doing it (doubling our
costs, negative ROI, bad technology choice, yadda yadda yadda) since
the HTML author will need that long to write in sample data and then
have the JSP author tear it out again. -- Marc Hedlund

Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
09/20/2004 02:53 AMMy wife and I went to a work related party last night which turned
out to be pretty boring. So much for the $70.00 spent on tickets. We
left early and knew that the sitter was good to go decided to drop in
on a friend of hers.
We get to her house and I am admiring her house and see a big
Master Degree in Education hanging over her computer. I was surprised
to see it actually as we have known her for a while and she had never
mentioned it. Anyway to make a long story short she says hey my PC is
having problems can you look at it.
You guessed it 2 hours later and much under breath cursing I give
up and tell her I need to take it home or we can just pull the restore
disk out and start from scratch. I get this deer in the headlights
look when I explain that her computer has been hijacked and is
infected with nearly every piece of spyware known to man.
1. Virus Definitions 2 years old
2. She had never run Windows Update.
3. Systems is plugged directly into cable modem
4. No Spyware detection software
5. No Firewall
Remember now she has a Masters Degree in Education. She commented I
should open a business and fix peoples computers like hers. I guess my
21+ years working with advanced electronics now makes me qualified to
fix computers. I suppose I could charge her $750.00 for a days worth
of work. All I could do was smile and say drop it by the house and I
will get it fixed for you...
All my wife could say when we left was sorry. I hate stupid
educated people. Sometimes being a geek sucks.

Sucks Sites Get Some More Support
Sucks Sites Get Some More Support
04/05/2005 04:42 AMThe issue of so-called
"suck
s sites" has come up plenty of times before. Someone upset by
something a company did puts up a website all about how that company
"sucks" and (almost invariably) the company proceeds to sue the person
for trademark infringement, thereby guaranteeing that their heavy
handed tactics get more attention. A smarter move might be to
actually address the issues on the site or simply leave it alone, but
somehow many corporate lawyers just can't resist. While some of these
sites
have been awarded to the companies, it looks like the
courts are increasingly realizing that people have the right to
criticize companies online. The latest such decision, about someone
angry with a hair-replacement service,
has some great quotes from the court explaining why this
isn't trademark infringement (though, the court also chose to go the
pun route with phrases like "bald-faced" and "splitting hairs").
"The Supreme Court has made it clear that trademark infringement law
prevents only unauthorized uses of a trademark in connection with a
commercial transaction in which the trademark is being used to confuse
potential consumers. Kremer's use of the Bosley Medical mark simply
cannot mislead consumers into buying a competing product -- no
customer will mistakenly purchase a hair replacement service from
Kremer under the belief that the service is being offered by Bosley."
Once again, the courts have been called in to explain that a trademark
doesn't mean you control every instance of the trademark -- but just
those where someone is trying to mislead and confuse potential
customers. You would think that lawyers (you know, experts in the
law) would understand this concept by now.
Update: Apparently,
confusion over this matter is fairly common. Even the AP's "legal
affairs writer" seems to think copyright and trademarks are
interchangeable terms.
The orange XML icon sucks
The orange XML icon sucks
06/16/2004 01:03 PMI'm not a fan of the orange XML icon, even though I use it on my categories page. I
love the concept of a universally recognised icon for RSS
feeds, but XML
is simply the wrong acronym to put on it. Don't think it's liable to
cause confusion? Check out this excerpt from Journalism.co.uk
(emphasis mine):
The Guardian is planning to launch more XML-based services in the next
few months, adding to the news feed services the site already provides
to both commercial clients and individual readers.
XML, also known as RSS, is a method of streaming
information from a website. Many sites now offer a free XML feed
enabling readers to receive headlines from news sites via a desktop
software program. XML also avoids problems involved with sending email
newsletters, such as junk mail and out-of-date addresses.
