I'm seeing AUD$~~35~~ $33.99.

I paid AUD$1.91 ten years ago for "reddit sync pro" (I believe it was on sale).

I was expecting to pay around $10-$15 to block ads, so this is a bit of a shock.

This quote is just absolutely balls on head ridiculous. I can't believe he said this with sincerity.

"Yes, you pea-brained fool, that's entirely correct - if someone is involved in a sex act against their will, that is a bad thing."

Do these people just have zero morals? It terrifies me that there are people walking around with these sorts of mindsets.

Some people wear a padded bra for comfort, not looks. Ironic that you use the word "pointless", because the padding helps with.. points. So it can actually be quite practical.

Likewise, the numpad can be more about comfort, even for a little ol admin/service person. I use both sets of number keys depending on - well, I'm not sure, just whatever feels right.

I switched over what probably was a small thing, but is big to me.

I like to have my tabs in a list, and google enforced the grid and kept breaking ways to put it back to list.

Once they blocked me from being able to revert, that was it.

I still use it on my work machine as I find the syncing works beautifully, important as I have need to swap between desktop and laptop occasionally, and there are other desktop features I enjoy.

But as for mobile - I am done.

I adored the fox when I used Mozilla everything back in the day, so it's like coming home.

Maybe mine have less bloat because I'm in Australia, maybe I don't consider some of the apps to be bloat, not sure - but I've had Samsung's since the S2 and I've always been content with my phones.

I have definitely found the software to be improved over the years, and I love that I can customise the colours of every element down to hyperlinks in my text messages, all using their Theme Park app from their funny little app store. They also have a few other decent apps to change around the notification bar icons and things like that.

I'll definitely be sticking with Samsung as long as all of these things keep going in a happy direction.

And that's the root issue, isn't it.

They're literally a household name.

I grew up poor in Australia, and no one really had pay TV around me - least of all the people I hung with. Over the years, you'd still learn through other TV shows and movies that HBO was the channel with the good stuff.

Why change that? Why lose such branding? Have they become associated with something that they don't want to be? If not, leave great enough alone.

All I could think while reading this.

If they get away with it, what's to stop them or their golf buddies in parallel industries from pulling the same type of stunt again.
