Clever ad, I wish they brought this level of quality to their website however.
I recently attempted to register on the MySun website. I set it all up and they send me the "confirmation email". The email says thank you for joining, and refers me back to the main page.
The main page then proceeds to tell me that to log in, I need to verify my email and account, and that I should request a confirmation email. I request a new email, and receive the exact same one, with no confirmation/activation link whatsoever, just a link to the main page.
This continues ad-infinitum. So I send customer-support an email telling them that it is simply impossible to create a new account on MySun. So far I have had the email forwarded to three different people in customer service, all of whom say that they are the wrong department and are forwarding my request to the right department.
I get in the car, get where I'm going and say to myself "damn I should have seen if there were any little cherries to pick up on the way here. I'll try on the ride home."
@tande04: Indeed, it's addictive. I've been on Waze just over 2 months and am already in the top 200 (after having started somewhere in the mid to high xx,xxx wazers)... mind you, it's a huge challenge for us Canadian Wazers who are building maps 100% from scratch.
That said, Montreal is starting to come together - especially now that there are a few other equally hooked Montreal Wazers onboard :)
Wait, an ad that highlights the advantages of ones own product, presented in a clever manner, that manages to both poke fun at competitors and itself at the same time, without distorting reality or generally misleading the public?
@Kaiser-Machead: No, but it does double as an umbrella, insulation, sunglasses, construction material and so much more. Not only that, but it never needs recharging either.
I really hate when you guys post a supposedly interesting article that I have to subscribe to some other site to read. Give me the gory details or please, please don't bother telling me "here's an interesting article. NOW PAY UP MAGGOT!"
Ellison is not wrong in his observations of industries going through cycles of integration and disintegration. Right now for exmple, in finance, banks are going through disintegration after a couple decades of integration.
but it has other bits, like Apple purchasing chip designer PA Semi, that make it worth reading.
alright, matt. i am gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mean this part of the article is a particularly good read and that is what makes it worth my while. NOT the fact that it is about apple.

Then I get home and say, "fuck."
