It really must be. Because for some reason all big companies are hell bent on tricking even the 0.001% power users that actually care by constantly overriding options and nagging people until they accidentally click the wrong thing that one time.

I have no idea what they expect to gain by infuriating that group.

The anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. They're very bright to do that.

Reminds me of that one quote attributed to everyone under the sun: Honesty, if you can fake that you've got it made.
