It's not just that, when you cannot sign into XBOX Live, your XBOX LIVE Arcade games don't work. So it's a bigger issue for some. I play some of my Arcade games and it sucks that I can't play them because XBOX Live is down. Regardless of the cost, $50, I expect good service. If MS wants me to pay more, I would, but I expect them to honor there service level agreement. Especially if they require you to sign in to XBOX Live.
Those are my same thoughts...Some(most) people lack tact while on cell phones. Voices raise up two or three octaves for no apparent reason. You are trying to sleep and the idiot beside you is talking about nothing for the next two hours, louder than the outside noise.
Ethics are what they are...I guess people never get over charged for a car with your belief? Do I think it's wrong that the Zune was $100...no. Reason, my company purchases PC's from Dell $200-$500 off the cost. Are we "robbing" the webmaster of his kids medicines then? Are we being unethical? Should we pay full price for the PC's and on the back end charge our customer's the difference? At buying almost 1000 PC's from them in the last 4 years....I hope we didn't put any body out on the street or cause a kid to die from not getting there "medicine"?
@miller How did Dell pay for it? I think it's robbery paying a "middle man" and the "other man"...no telling how much we are paying over cost...would you feel better if Dell offered a gift card instead?...What about price drops? ...Are we robbing companies then?
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
