Orkut & GMail!

Is that what Orkut did in their recent downtimes?
They just made Orkut allowing GMail accounts! Now the network of trusted friends also allow any gmail Billy! =)

Well, the big disadvantage, as you can see in the login window in the screenshot, they made it broken for Opera! Booooooooooo! Bad marks for me and another reason to leave Orkut and showw it my back. Mainly also because I never get donuts 🙁

Please also notice that I still have my Gmail Invitation Giveaway action running! 😎

If Costumer Support simply…doesn’t work

I have written earlier about how “great” technical costumer supports of some company work.

If everything goes bad, they are either:

1) Slow (believe me, 4 weeks to reply to an email is slow!)
2) Short in their answers (1-sentence-replies)
3) They ignore your inquiry.

Gigabyte Germany was sooo funny!

My questions:

“1) Does your graphics card use 2 slots (a Gigabyte Radeon X800 256MB passive PCI-E DVI/TV)
and 2) how about the heath since it’s a passive cooled graphics card? I do not want to damage the cards underneath your Gigabyte card.”

Their reply:

“No this card uses 1 slot”

Question 2) was simply _ignored_ even my re-reply noticing them and asking to answer my 2nd question kept _ignored_ as of yet.

Since their homepage/contact form system uses PHP which automatically jumps to the German devision of your service, I cannot contact user services, as I would like to (I would have liked to contact their Taiwan costumer support in the hope they are more professional).

Thanks to Google I have found their company contact email of their headquarter “Gigabyte Taiwan” and so I wrote to them an email and I find the subject a kicker! 😀

“Complaint: Your Costumer support is a pain” 😀

5 days later I have received an email from Gigabyte Germany saying sorry for they failure, and then they have rang me up and answered to all my original inquiries.

Success! 😀

Interview with Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner

Thanks to Shmanky in my forum, who posted it there!

Well, the Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner got interviewed by Cnet and was not too decent to make predicitons and visions plus plans to get Opera number 2nd.
Eventhough he likes Firefox, i.e. he said no bad word about them, be believes it’s possible to get Opera that much a name, that they will become second! 🙂

He is also that guy that swom from Norway to the USA! 🙂

Have fun reading! 🙂

I surf faster now, hooooraaay! =)

Well, after months of a disaster because my new cable ISP (before I used DSL) sucked so much (please read all about this at my previous posts about my internet connection, it wasn’t funny anymore!

But now, they have lowered prices, so I re-signed up with 4000/512 internet!
WOW! What a download rate!
Now I reach the boarder where some download servers cannot offer the speed I could handle!

A Mail Trader, Logitech, A Headset and 2 Years Warranty

Yesterday, my Logitech USB 30 Headset broke a second time, again broken cable.

Now, in Germany you have 2 years warranty, but in the 2nd year the costumer has to prove by law that it was broken because of technical error and not that the costumer himself broke it.

Logically, that is impossible to prove as a costumer, so no company, trader or mail trader cares

You get 2 years full warranty anyway.

Except in this case I received an email from the mail trader saying I am 6 weeks over the first year and so they refuse taking the headset back.

I was calling them, and after passing the waiting loop I have got the same ass that wrote that email, on the phone.

he explained to me the law (which I already was aware of).

So, I was calling Logitech directly.

Which said of course they give me 2 years warranty like anybody else does.

So I had to break apart the microphone and usb plug and send it to Logitech which is in Switzerland!

So, I wrote an angry email to the mail trader.

I received an email back saying sorry for the wrong information from his co-worker.

of course they send damaged stuff to the manufactor as every mail trader does (for free as the law tells).

I get my 4 € back for the postage to Logitech in Switzerland.

but still, they are not-so-nice.

I couldn’t believe, they refuse to give me warranty and discuss with me about a small tiny paragraph in the law.

logically, that is impossible to prove as a costumer, so no company, trader or mail trader cares.

you get 2 years full warranty anyway.

Especially since nowadays you have so much mail traders, making an exception from the “common way” will cost you costumers. Well, especially this makes the behaviour of that co-worker of the mail trader non-understandable for me.
