Re:How Booking.com manipulates users on Thursday September 21, 2017 @10:02AM (#15303468)
I work in the travel industry as a developer and my current task is to make our booking engine more "bookingcom-like" (yes, this is exactly how the requirements were formulated by product management).

To achieve this task I did a small research of other travel web sites and I realised that most of them added such psychological elements lately.

Today I found this gold article and forwarded it to the product managers, hehe :)

Re:PC sales plunge, Microsoft and Windows 8 blamed on Thursday April 11, 2013 @07:19AM (#5531173)
What about the poor quality of the new PCs (laptops / desktops) ?

In the last years I never heard anybody saying "I bought a new PC and it's great" but rather "I got screwed buying a new PC".

Lenovo, Dell, HP! WHY U NO BUILD GOOD PCs ANYMORE?

There is no such thing, the law refers to something else. Check this: http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/
