If
anyone likes to play Hearts I suggest that you avoid
at all costs a website called "Harwood Hearts". I was
a member of Harwood Hearts for almost a year but it
seems that if you call somebody a name the hosts have
the option to "ban you". Now keep in mind that you
can't use bad language on the site because all of
those words are not allowed to be used but as someone
who likes to play hearts I was taken back when I was
informed that I was permanently banned? So if I pay
$30 to join you have the right to keep my money and
not let me play? What's wrong with this picture. One
of the problems with websites like these is that they
get to play God and determine, like a corrupt power
official, who will play and who will not play. A sad
state of affairs and I advise all who read this BLOG
to avoid this site at all costs.
What is about Apple users that makes some of them such zealots? I am referring to the "Apple can do no wrong and is God" syndrome that a lot of Mac users exhibit. Recently, with the release of 10.5.2 some people were saying praising Apple for upgrading Leopard while there were a vocal minority who felt that 10.5.2 should have been part of the original Leopard release and that this was just some fixes to catch up. For me it doesn't matter, Leopard has worked flawlessly in original release and 10.5.2 update but one has to wonder if Apple has its priorities straight. The Mac OSX is picking up share and with that comes the responsibility to maintain quality releases. Leopard was delayed due to allocation of resources to the iPhone and with the delay of Windows 7.0 till 2011 Apple has an opportunity to continue to make inroads in share if they can prove that they are a better company that Microsoft and release better products. With increased share also comes the responsibility of maintaining their excellent customer service and to be sure this is no easy challenge.
