Trolling Tech Support - Off-topic

Just wanted to post my tech support screenshots. Myself and fellow developer MarkHoj decided to troll tech support for HTC, Motorola, and Barnes&Noble. Got some funny stuff. Without further ado, the screenshots:

New to smartphones, maybe.

Given the fact that I work at a computer repair shop, if a customer were to email me something along the lines of what you wanted, I would laugh. I wouldn't be surprised if the tech support people didn't care about what you had to write. they just had to write back to you because it's their job. I do not have any screenshots like that because I have better things to do than chatting with tech support about stupid **** like this. However, if I notice that te tech is "not so smart" while talking to them, I overwhelm them with technical details, until they are forced to connect me to the next level of tech support, where the people on the other side of the phone seem to be a bit smarter. I feel like you didn't troll the techs since you said what you wanted, they told you that they don't support that and explained that it voids your warranty, and then you thanked them. To them, you were seen as an asshole, and not as a troll. Thank you, good night, did I bump the drunk thread yet?

Good now? Finally this thread has something worth seeing

They seem to handle this pretty well and be polite, But I think the Moto guy and Nook girl were trying to void your warranty? Sneaky

This unicorn farts rainbows.
Your trolling is irrelevant.

I complained to HTC the other day that they don't make decent sub 4" phones any more. They told me i should buy something called the 'HTC Rhyme', which is Purple!
PURPLE FFS!!
I'm offended!
I also complained to City Link about the asshole courier driver i keep encountering on my drive to work. The guy thinks he's Ayrton Senna whilst clearly being as skilled in driving a vehicle as Muffin The Mule! The three apologetic emails that i received back from the company brought a great deal of satisfaction to my week though.
I hope his need for racing his POS van was worth more to him than having a job!

Britain's Got Talent

Anybody else watch the show? I'm not British but after i saw Boyle's first performance, i started watching the show. I watched the performances on Youtube and became extremely addicted to it then found a live stream but i'm still upset that she didn't win. I thought Diversity was flat out amazing and their performace was jaw-dropping and much better to that of Flawless'.
Anybody else upset she didn't win?
well imo she wasnt that outstanding, she was a good singer i thoink the reason she was so well liked was because she looked like she did and the voice didnt match, in these shows i only watch the auditions anyway, just to watch to idiots
but two thing pissed me off this year
1, the young girl who sung alicia keys getting booted in the early stages
2 simon cowell whinging at the guy who played on a guitar that lit up, even though he got that queen song rather well
my coclusion its a fix and simon cowell is probably still breast fed
Boyle was just someone fugly who could sing nothing more. Diversity were something special though, they were perfectly in time and were literally flawless. If you watched her expression Boyle was happier thatr she didnt win because she felt she didnt deserve it...

Mike is the X factor!!!!​
sorry about the blatant image shoddiness im geting used to gimp
I thought Susan was going to win, but there were a few things that hurt her chances. Personally, I didn't think her semi-final performance was that great, and she had some incident where she threatened to leave the show.
I thought the little girl Holly who started crying was BS. And was surprised Simon allowed her to go again, the guy who sang high, Greg, should have one that, but that's me I guess.
For the finals, Diversity's performance was probably the best dance routine I've ever seen, the guy who came up with that is a genius.
But I have to say Stavros Flatley was probably my favorite though.
tabloids dont report a lot
The Diversity's performance was a stunning dance routine! They deserved to win...
Completely agree Mike. I thought that he prelim (first act) was what got her to the finals, not so much her semi-finals performance. Not sure what went behind the scenese and with all these headlines about her "Boyling" over, but she seemed like a confident naive woman. Sucks that she's in a clinic so shortly after her performance :|.

RANT @ Apple & Apple Product Users

Before you read any further down in this thread, look HERE.
Imagine that! Apple is LITERALLY in denial. They're blaming the USERS for Apples ignorance in the Mobile Device World. When will the Apple users learn that their devices ARE HUGE PILES OF CRAP!?.. AND ACTUALLY ADMIT IT!?!?!?! FAIL.
Here's the Reality: *When Apple tells users not to hold their device as they see comfortably fit is the day that the sheep get prodded once more.. and all the sheep go back into their state of denial, following the trend of IDIOTS around the world who actually continue paying for Apples Stupidity. Apple has never been #1 in the world for anything besides failure, and that shall never change.
[*And hey, that happened TODAY... run along little mindless sheep... go back to your Apple Tree and cry]
Smart Choice: Buy something that doesn't have a FRUIT LOGO ON IT!!! And they day you do that is the day you'll look in the mirror and laugh at the previous you for falling for an over-budgeted advertising scheme and following the rest of the sheep. Forget Apple and you'll be human again, not an ignorant waste of [male mating juice].
God help all Apple users around the world, allow them to lose the blinding curtain of stupidity that floods their vision. And allow them to once-again think for themselves.
There, I feel better.
What are your thoughts on this issue? And be honest...
[At Staff: If this thread is simply TOO much, feel free to delete it. I just thought it was time for Apple Fans to step into reality.]
Agent Zach
I've been reading your posts for sometime now and in "some" occasions don't really approve or side with your opinions but this time...buddy...right in the nose.
I'm still in awe about the way Apple does business, taking advantage of people just because they are the company that once revolutionized the computer industry with personal computers. It’s like buying a cell phone from Fidel Castro using Hugo Chavez cell company…a marriage made to match.
Just like sheep I tells ya, sheep!!
I was shocked a flaw this big gets through product testing, and then they tell you not to hold it that way? That's it? A flaw that doesn't allow you to use the phone as a phone is a HUGE problem, and Apple won't acknowledge it.
Of course they won't. Why take the blame when they can blame at&t some more.
After reading some reviews, etc.. it seems even the WiFi loses signal when held in hand.
And I'm sure at&t isn't logged into every router in the world... or are they? [We already know Google was once. ]
It's just another fail strategy by the reincarnated Adolf Hitler {Zhe Fuhrer} [Steve Jobs].
if you dont like apple products then thats your problem why do you want the ppl to stop using apple???its a personal choice...not your choice....
All-in-all, I don't want people to stop using their Apple products, I just want them to stop lying to their friends, family, and even THEMSELVES.
Besides, when someone walks into my home with an Apple product, it makes me feel better about about my device, knowing that it works the way it should and they I want it to. Apples devices, on the other hand, work the way Apple wants them to, not how the user wants them to...
are you envy of your friends iphone dropping signals? theres an app for that! lol

Apple raised the bar for Mobil devices, we are all profiting from that and the competition that comes with it, that is a very good thing.

Steve Jobs Resigns as Apple CEO

CLOSED: There is already a thread for this.
Breaking news yesterday night out of Cupertino, California. Apple CEO Steve Jobs, 56, has resigned as chief executive officer of the iconic tech firm he co-founded in the late 1970's.

According to a press release issued by Apple, Jobs said the following to the Apple Board of Directors and the broader Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Just had to say thanks for this - best comment ever!
But Apple will keep moving on - they will just lose their number 1 Carnival Barker is all.
The fanboys will still drink the cool-aid and keep buying their products.
But... it is funny to see a 5% drop in their stock over night. Where is that consumer confidence when you need it?

The reason behind Apple's success is Steve Jobs's concern for quality and user interface. Without him...who knows what Apple will make. No one wants a freaking iPhone that's made of plastic (I mean Samsung plastic...the 3G/3GS were plastic done right) or one that leaks light (HTC >.<) or one that has laggy web browser zooming and scrolling out of the box (Andoid), or just a terrible browser out of the box (Android), or a ****ty media player out of the box (again...Android...the Sense player is decent but ugly) .

Sam Lewis of ATT called me shortly after this tweet was sent out. He advised me it is ultimately HTC that is responsible for the bootloader being locked. Not sure how much keeping his job may have swayed his response but we shall find out soon enough
We need to make them aware that we know about Carrier IQ and we need it unlocked right NOW!

I fully agree. I really like the Vivid but I feel with out root and s-off Im not using the phone to the fullest. I have 15 days left and if the above is not done by then, Ill be ordering a rocket (which I do not want to do...)
I now have a phone dialog going with ATT Customer Care because of a few tweets.
They implied that they expect me to relay that information back to the community and said they realize by talking to me they are talking to the community as a whole.
I have kept the situation updated HERE
Wow! We have incredible people here. I really feel like we're all making a difference!
Is this going too far? I mean yeah its a stretch on the truth but they lied to us so why not..

the way I see it... a voice is a voice... even an angry voice.
HTC & AT&T need to hear as many voices as possible... go ahead and be angry... let them know...
I and others with direct lines of communication will be calm and reasonable and can point to the angry people... and say "see the natives are restless"
Looks like I should get a twitter account one of these years lol.
They don't give a crap if you contact them in an angry manner. Those of us complaining about this are a minority, most people that buy these phones don't know anything about this stuff. The majority have never heard of rooting, or unlocked bootloaders, or ciq. They may appear to be listening but if they really were action would have been taken already. I'm glad I'm not an overly paranoid person, I'd never be able to use a cellphone after learning about all of this info that is collected every day.

Your post looks exactly like the one I put on the "Why AT&T users should boycott" threadm, I'm glad someone shares my opinion lol. While a boycott does nothing because of us being the minority, spamming their social media can actually do something. The general public does have a Facebook or Twitter, so when they see people complaining every single day about the same stuff on HTC's page, that doesn't look good at all on HTC's part. It raises awareness as opposed to just quietly boycotting a device when we are such a small percentage.

Like reselling your old stuff?? Not so fast!!!

unless it goes thru. Considering most of our phones etc are made abroad...
Besides, isnt this what some game companies are trying to put a stop to in regards to Gamestop etc reselling used games?
Wow, scaremonger much.......
Bulk buying and reselling to make huge profits = bad.
Selling your old crap = not an issue.
Both this thread and that article are bad and you should feel bad.

As there is no accepted law that forbids you I do not see why not, this case is because the person made 1.2 Million dollars profit and of course someone would want a piece of that cake I seriously doubt that someone would go after you fro 200$ of electronic that has parts in it from the entire globe. I would say the guy with the 1.2M could have spent a little bit more on a lawyer

I know.
This is a bad article and shame on the OP for posting it without checking something like this out. He/She is like the person that automatically forwards outrageous/inflammatory emails without checking them out.
There is a small amount of truth to the article though. This court ruling would only apply to copyrighted materials that were manufactured outside of the US AND the manufacturer did not give consent for the product to be shipped to, and sold in the US. Only after those conditions were met, then the mfg would then have to object to the second sale. This probably doesn't affect 99.9% of the goods you buy and already own.
ex. You buy something made overseas from Wal-Mart or the Verizon store or AT&T store.. This court case has no effect on that.
