            I want to buy an air conditioner, and since I've had good experience with Panasonic units in the past, I am strolling through Panasonic India website. All I see there is marketing bullshit with a lot of nonsensical writing accompanied by stupid pictures of air conditioners sweeping blue coloured air all around it like a swirling hurricane. The contents in their website try hard to convince me how awesome their technology is, and how they've broken new grounds and how they will capture this world with their air conditioners. I want a frockin' button on their website, which would just show me the product specifications and price, for the fact that nothing else matters. But, there's no way to find it. So, I've to remember the model numbers that I'm interested in (like OMGLOL-KA-MEGA-AWSUM-DOUCHE4385) and call up their customer care or a showroom find out the price of each model. No, thanks. So, it's either a Hitachi or Samsung now. They're both equally good as well (Hitachi being slightly better, in fact), and have straightforward, useful information on their websites.

I know that prices vary, and I don't expect them to be perfectly accurate, but you'd damned well better show me typical pricing if you want me to spend two seconds on your product page.

                                Sure it is! I'm also fairly certain women have a reality distortion cortex to obfuscate all that structure.

                                  I tend to go with a reactive approach. It's simple: "Uh huh. Yes dear. Whatever you say dear. I'm sorry." Those sentences cover just about everything, apart from: "No. Your bottom is perfect, no matter what you wear." Mrs Yoda and I are celebrating 25 years this year, so I must have got something right with those sentences.

                                      I tend to go with a reactive approach. It's simple: "Uh huh. Yes dear. Whatever you say dear. I'm sorry." Those sentences cover just about everything, apart from: "No. Your bottom is perfect, no matter what you wear." Mrs Yoda and I are celebrating 25 years this year, so I must have got something right with those sentences.

                                        I would get annoyed being placated like that all the time. Guess women don't have that problem. :)

                                          I want to buy an air conditioner, and since I've had good experience with Panasonic units in the past, I am strolling through Panasonic India website. All I see there is marketing bullshit with a lot of nonsensical writing accompanied by stupid pictures of air conditioners sweeping blue coloured air all around it like a swirling hurricane. The contents in their website try hard to convince me how awesome their technology is, and how they've broken new grounds and how they will capture this world with their air conditioners. I want a frockin' button on their website, which would just show me the product specifications and price, for the fact that nothing else matters. But, there's no way to find it. So, I've to remember the model numbers that I'm interested in (like OMGLOL-KA-MEGA-AWSUM-DOUCHE4385) and call up their customer care or a showroom find out the price of each model. No, thanks. So, it's either a Hitachi or Samsung now. They're both equally good as well (Hitachi being slightly better, in fact), and have straightforward, useful information on their websites.

                                          There is your mistake; you need to find a dealer or retailer. The official distributors often are not allowed to sell directly to the customers or give them the prices.
