The prevalence of "chat with us!" and "take a quick survey?" website popups encapsulates everything that is wrong with non-Apple computer hardware manufacturers.

Apple does seem to have replicated that experience in their brick-and-mortar stores, though.
Really? My experience in their bricks and mortar stores is that I can barely get someone to talk to me when I I want to buy something. Kind of the opposite problem, but almost as frustrating.

I guess it depends on how busy they are. The one time I've recently set foot in an Apple store, it was swarming with employees (probably 2:1 employee:customer ratio). This was a small mall location, though—it felt claustrophobic to begin with.
The one thing that could change my mind about patent trolls is if one of them were to pop up and banish those unsolicited floating chat windows by suing everyone who uses them.
