My SSD is faster than your HDD but it is OCZ

ivk — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:25:53 +0000

I am sure my next SSD will NOT be OCZ. Win 7 hangs all the time. OCZ Tool to upgrade firmware can not see own disks at all. Win 7, Hard Disk Sentinel, Acronis – have no problems identifying them properly.

Is ‘do not care’ equals to ‘noreply@’?

I tried to design a card and everytime I wanted to copy-paste Cyrillic text into card details flash plugin crashed. I gave up, completed design in MS Visio and sent it to guys. Moo was not working for me and printing cards will be much cheaper in Ukraine anyway.

After a while I received an email from ‘Little MOO, the piece of software that manages the orders’ which is fun except that with just a little more effort MOO guys could allow Little MOO to ask if I had any problems and prompt to reply. In this version – it is not funny because MOO crashed on me and it looks like little print robot only cares about unfinished orders and not about my experience with MOO. I just do not understand why not to use your support email as a reply-to for ‘Little MOO’. What is the risk?

I reset my password but it still wants me to enter my confirmation code which I either haven’t received or deleted and … there is no link with simple words ‘Please resend me confirmation code’.

MSFT: updates for not installed products

I did not install OneNote and Outlook but Win 7 keeps pushing updates. Why? If there is a reason – why not tell about it in UI? There is no even XP ‘do not remind me’ option.

PayPal using expired ssl certificate

You login to https://www.paypal.com/au/, logout and strangely enough end up on a different domain page https://www.paypal-business.com.au/ with expired certificate. I do not think this builds a reputation for a provider people trust internet transactions. Another interesting thing there is no way to submit site feedback anywhere, even after login. PayPal – you have problems not only with ssl certificate. If I would be able to send it to you I will also attach this:

MSFT: no stimulus to change

Removing one line in CSV file is “as easy” in Office 2010 as it was before. You have to stop and think and did not mess up answers in four popups (shown in chronological order). Should be none to me. They say Windows 8 will be like Mac OS. Really? I deal with this feature since Office 2000 but seing it in 2010 forced me to finally write about it.

This type of navigation on a bottom of some popular blog pages always stops me to think which way newer/older posts are. Why not to make it dumb obvious like this?

We all admire Apple but sometimes it is so simple and easy to be like them – just replace ignorance with passion.

Was installing SQL Server 2008 on Win 7 – all latest and greatest. Had a warning – how sad it is. To make me feel really sad a link in a pop-up is not a link. It is 2011 – people do not expect to be asked to type URLs with parameters. Most importantly it creates a feeling that nobody cared not only to plug into install a firewall configuration tool but even to make a link click-able.
