God knows that I'm not a vindicative person, but rather a quiet man.
But d@mit, how much I hate stupidity and deception !!
Deception especially is what I want to talk about now.
I was just looking through PalmOne site for fun and I came across their page entitled Palm OS vs. Pocket PC (http://www.palmone.com/us/products/compare/palmos-vs-pocketpc.html)
Boy this thing is full of highly and plainly deceptive information !! :evil:
Most figures are 3-4 years old!! i.e. a century in term of computing field. :bad-words:
Obviously a comparison table is made for PDA-uneducated people (and probably computer-uneducated people as well) seeking basic knowledge to take a decision based on the current state of PDA land.
And they are fed with totally inacurate and obsolete data for today. :soapbox:
Obviously enough, these people seek to buy a PDA today, so they have to and expect to find today's data. At least not more than 4-5 months old, even much less 3-4 years old. :splat:
Who could think that what you read today is not the current situation?!
So this is plain and total lies. :bangin:
I know that business means war, but even in competitive sports like boxing, if you hit below the belt you face severe penalty!! :twak:
Granted the dates are given, but as usual hidden in places most people never look: in fine print at the end of the table. :splat:
And even if the dates are given it still doesn't reflect today's situation and is therefore highly misleading and misrepresenting. :snipersmile:
If I were working in MS's law department I'd take immediate action against this unqualifyable behavior!! :deal:
