I used to post here in the Lounge almost exclusively for a reaction, mostly bad; I wasn't trolling but I wasn't looking to make friends either. I have earned myself quite a reputation with some members as an obnoxious American trouble maker. I just post now about things that matter to me or I have some feeling about...mostly. :rolleyes:

Isn't that the life cycle of all technology companies: 1. Make something everyone likes and have people throw money at you. 2. Don't listen to your customers if the complaints are less than 10% of your user base. 3. Pay bonuses to your salespeople and executives while continuing to give your engineers unrealistic goals. 4. Watch your user base diminish. 5. Watch your best engineers leave. 6. Watch your revenues drop. 7. Watch your profits drop. 8. Soak your remaining loyal user base. 9. Complain about unfair competition. 10. Die (or become irrelevant). Case histories: NEC, Texas Instruments, GeoCities, AOL, Atari, Commodore, Apple (early, mid 1990s), Yahoo, myspace, Netscape, Expedia, Borland, Netflix (this may be premature).
