Technology Complaints

Contributed by Cameron Hodgern We got a new house to match the new job and right now I'm totally overwhelmed decorating it. I love being home because everything's so neat and new but gosh I just can't wait until the house is done being decorated. I think there's something to be said for a home that reflects your individual personality and so I would never hire a decorator because I think...

At the very beginning of May, Mac users were faced with the serious problem of a rampant Trojan virus.

Now that Play Station Network is back online, I was playing Modern Warfare 2 today, Sunday the 22nd of May 2011, and now it has been hacked again! Someone is scrolling websites in numerous colors in the middle of the screen during online game play. Sometimes it says youtube.com. I hope they can deal with this immediately.

Craigslist is a great thing. It gives people from local areas the opportunity to come together, buy, sell, give away, and barter goods. It's great! Old people are awesome, but not when they post missed connections on Craigslist. First of all, who taught you to use a computer? You just got a cell phone last week. Has arthritis not done its job yet; how are you typing? I mean seriously,...

In the past few days I have been noticing that google image search is plagued with FakeAV web sites and spyware. So often I google an image and get bombarded with pop ups linking to malware sites. This attack has been destroying many legitimate websites according to an article written by Bojan Zdrnja. It does seem that Google is trying its best to eliminate these attacks but it still very...

In 2009 an employee, Sun Danyong at FOXCONN a Chinese manufacturing plant that produces the iPad for Apple committed suicide because he lost the iPhone prototype. Since Danyong's death 14 other workers have taken their own lives. Now Chinese workers are being forced to sign a pledge stating they will not commit suicide. Apparently the working conditions in this plant are extremely stressful,...

Here is something that really pisses me off apparently google has released an app that is called "KG dogfighting" that encourages users to prepare virtual dogs to fight through the use of shock collars, steroids and training. Does Google support dog fighting? I would not be surprised, Google has done NOTHING since they release their search engine. I use an iphone and I am certain that Apple...

I am a new user to google gmail and I have a complaint to file. Every time I either send a message or delete a message it replicates itself a dozen times. It is driving me NUTS! I have used Hotmail for years and never had a problem such as this. What is going on? I heard Gmail was terrific. It does not seem that I am able to fix this problem. I have googled "Gmail repeat message"...

Children have changed as much as the technology has. As the computers and machines have advanced, our kids have become more prone to fits of rage and temper tantrums if they don't get their turn on the new gadget. What strikes me, are the parents who encourage their children by buying them huge, high-priced computers and IPads. A touch-screen as delicate as most IPhones isn't something you should...

During the last 2 years google has acquired over 30 major companies (that we know of). This is a record number of acquisitions compared to some of the other online giants. After looking over al list of google's acquisitions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Google i immediately realized a few things: - Google does not build anything. - Google has not invented anything...

Course Google maybe one of the biggest Internet Companies in the world. It enters new fields every year and gives a real hard time to all the already established competitors. Its chat engine, Google Talk, is however not so versatile. Its video calling capabilities are limited. When you do it for the first time, it asks you to go through a hefty process of installing some kind of video...

HCL is an electronic company that manufactures laptops, handhelds, etc. I happened to own two HCL laptops at two point of time. Both of them sucked. There was a defective hard disk drive in the first one. technically, it should be covered by warranty. Costumer support however refused to acknowledge that. I had to spend 120 bucks to get it fixed. The second one had some manufacturing...

I have been a loyal Apple Customer since the VERY EARLY days. Trough all the tough times i stuck with apple, this was before the iPod, Iphone etc. Back the apple was mainly focused on the so called Prosumer's. A small group of Professionals who really appreciate the advances apple gave us, Dual CPUs, SCSI Drives, High Res Displays and many more. Most of these prosumers are users of...

I decided to try Gmail in 2004, I was excited about all the the hype. - Never delete a message - SUPER fast email searching - Great filters - Unlimited space - Safe and secure That time has no finally passed. Google's Gmail has gotten slower and slower by the day, and as of the last few months it has become unusably slow for me. Before you start asking, yes, i have tired it in all...

Music is religion. Bring me a person who doesn't like music and I'll kill myself (only after killing him :p) In the US, we particularly idolize singers and bands. We rush to the stores to buy new albums as soon as they're out. And we shell out big bucks for it. However, this is true only for the established/properly advertised singers and bands. Even so, the artists get only a small share of the...

Major problem with Google adsense. Anyone have a solution to my complaint? I looked on the Google forums but it looks like this is ongoing problem since 2009 and still no real solution. Some have suggested creating a xml file called crossdomain.xml but this does not seem to help either

About a month ago Google Adsense disabled my account. There was no reason given, I just woke up and went to check on my earnings and BOOM my account was disabled. Immediately I panicked and thought maybe it was my browser (wishful thinking), switched browsers but to no avail. I then started searching "Adsense Account disabled" and found out it is a very common occurrence for many...
