The king of the computer dildoes has to be Norton. That's the anti-virus company that baits you with a trial version of their anti-virus system. Then when the trial expires you are stuck with their obtrusive pop up screens every time you start the computer.
All three of my computers are plagued by Norton pop ups every time I turn them on.
They give you a disgusting unfair insidious choice. They tell you that your trial version has expired (yeah, no shit) and you are not protected from viruses (what I really want is to be protected from Norton)
Then you get this clever shithead choice of decisions
1- Renew now - and they add that this is "recommended"
2 - remind me later
I have to instruct them officially to harass me later, as if that's what I want!
There is no way to get that pop up screen of the computer without choosing either to pay them for a system you don't want to buy or give them your expressed permission to harass you more and more.
Not only that, the expired system kicks in whenever it wants and starts to scan the computer for viruses! Its not going to fix them, mind you, its just going to tie up the computer when you want to do something else. You have to figure out how to shut down the scan and that is not that simple unless you're a pro computer person.
I would like to get the president of Norton tied to a tree -- they will then get two choices,
1 - Untie me in ten days
2 - remind me later to untie me in twenty days
Its your choice Norton - you fucking greedy sneaky pigs
how dare you give me those choices and force me to make a decision both of which are hostage to my ability to continue to use my computer, both of which are kissing your corporate asses for profit. You fucking ass holes. You need your fucking skulls cracked.

The lastest dickweed award goes to the ESPN sports website. You pull up the major league standings and as soon as you start reading them a box with a promo inside comes rolling right into the middle of the screen blocking vital information. The only hope to get rid of it is to click on it and hope one spot will close it. No it takes you to that promo website. Give us the standings and then block it. Computer dildoes.
RULE ONE - EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET IS A SCAM FOR YOUR MONEY
Here is a typical example. I bought a dreadful new Toshiba computer with the pathetic new Vista system last week. I turned it on tonight and up pops this big invasive prompt of a special offer from Toshiba. there wasn't a clear and easy way to turn it off. It was clear that if I didn't address it it would probably bug me forever every time I turned on the machine.
"Special offfer from Toshiba for buying your computer from us!"
"Coupon for 15% off future Toshiba products.!"
I clicked it on and spent 20 to 25 minutes of valuable time filling out four taxing pages of questions. as always, there was some "mistake" I made on each page, some question I failed to answer properly or something like that. I had to answer a lot of opinion questions too. Oh joy!
Finally I get to the end the rainbow and what do I get? A chance to buy one of five products from Toshiba! I don't have a need for any of them and I don't see anything about a 15% coupon. Apparently I'd get this vague coupon only AFTER I gave Toshiba more money from some other product I didn't want in the first place. The coupon came with a roadblock. I had to by something first before i could even find out how I could get the coupon. And the products themselves had no discount. So what that adds up to no discount at all unless you're as much of a gullible dildo as the Toshiba offer was the work of despicable scumbag computer dildoes to begin with.
The only option to exit the final screen was "buy" or "exit."
Scammed again by the world of computer dildoes.
Its just another moment in computer world, home of more dildoes than ten billion whorehouses combined. The world outside of computers has a hundred times more decency and integrity than the world inside of it.
Why didn't Toshiba tell me that the 15% coupon required a five page application plus a purchase? Because they are SCUM, that's why. They probably absorbed the info they needed to scam me for other stuff even though I chose to exit the application. That's because computer world is dildo world, and scam scum world too.
This entire event was no incident. It was just another passing moemnt in computerland where everything, but everything is a scam for your money. And honest hard working effort to make money is honest, but a scam where you are misled into a false premise for your money is scumbag central. Its just another passing moment in computer dildo world.
I have been scammed like this ten thousand times since I bought my first internet capable computer ten years ago. I just happened to start this essay on the subject tonight with the Toshiba 15% coupon incident.
I'll be returning this piece of crap computer this weekend and get me a Mac. I'll eat the 15% restocking fee and Toshib can take its ""15%" coupon and stick it up its Toshiba ass.
I realize that Macs aren't perfect, and Steve Jobs is no Christlike figure, but lets face it, macs are better and Bill Gates ripped off Apple from the get go with an inferior product mass marketed better.
As for Vista, anyone that buys it deserves the punishment they will get. You've been warned. see the website "20 reasons why Vista sucks." Unfortunately for me, a child needs to burn his finger before he will believe that the stove is dangerously hot.
Registering on-line is hell. Everything requires some dildoic registration form from hell just to move on. And you're always trapped by the technotrap that you can't move on without doing as they command. Fuck you and fuck your family! Why can't they have a box labelled as such that I can check and send to the owner of the company? I'd rather watch a ten hour stand-up concert of Whoopie Goldberg ten consecutive times than fill out these shithead registration forms on line.
How bout those scams that promise you a "free-computer." ? Wow. Don't be a fool. I made that mistake one time about 8years ago and am still plagued by the results. I kid you not. And I never got the free computer, needless to say.
It starts with an innocent offer that you fill out a few forms and agree to a few freee trial offers and you'll get a free computer after you're done. It will only take a few minutes and your free computer will be on the way! My ass is still sore form that one.
After an hour of nauseating on line forms, you only begin to enter computer scam hell. before you know it, you've agreed to subscribe to a hundred magazines, 59 computer deals, 234 companies are lined up to come to your house to install capreting, house alarms, and new cabinets; the hare Krishnas are on the way with the Jahova witnesses in tow, every car dealership within a hundred miles has you on the hit list, you've agreed to try the Encyclopedia of Whales, and you've agreed to donate your liver to science and the bill won't have to be paid until you die. You've agreed to refinance the homes of everyone you've ever known, you've agreed to try 68 new products for the new computer you're supposed to get, there are 49 vitamin companies sending you stuff (the first bottle is free by the way) and you're going to sign on for 88 new credit cards (each requiring a new and separate application that must be filed out NOW.)
Are you getting the picture? After almost two hours of this horseshit i realized that I was agreeing to so many scam committments that I was going to have to end up paying more money than three computers were worth, plus I was going to harassed to no end by being on five thousand hit lists for salespeople/salsescum.
I couldn't take it anymore and I exited the registration. To hell with the damn computer. i'll just buy another one if I need a second one tht badly.
Well guess what? Even though I exited the application I still got on all those hit lists. To this day many years later I am still harassed on line by these companies. I get spam scammed 30 times a day. I try to tke a little time now and then to "unsubscribe' but its impossible to keep up with the water coming into the rowboat by tossing over one scumbag now and then with a tiny pail. And make no mistake. I remember the "deals" I agreed to when I applied. They were specific and I have never heard the end of these maggotts. I realize that everyone gets spammed but I can assure you that trying to get me free computer was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made.
So far what have we learned?
One - Toshiba sucks.
Two - Vista really sucks.
Three - Never agree to one of those free computer deals.
One of these days I'm going to call up one of those scumbags that tell me every day on the net that I have win the Nigerial lottery and to collect my 6 million dollars I have to send a guy in Nigeria a registration fee of $658.88 cents. There is a pool of acid waiting for that person to get dipped into slowly if I can ever get the opportunity to man the crane.
We haven't even begun to address why some scumbag scammer thinks my mother and my mother-in law, both of whom lives alone needs a bigger penis. The abuses of big railroad went on for decades before the government got around to putting a stop to them in the 1800's. In this century it's time to put a stop to internet scam scumbags.
Some time soon I'll get around to why Verizon is another of den of dildoes.
