Cost to bribe users to use an outdated, security nightmare = $$$
Come on fedex... this is next level stupidity!
- swalsh 10y agoI'm imaging a few people around a table looking over a cost estimate, when one makes the joke "We could give every user $5, and it would still be cheaper"... when one person pipes up "well.... what if we did..."
- csours 10y agoOK people we need to brainstorm; remember no idea is too stupid.
- stanmancan 10y agoThey'd be crazy if they haven't already begun re-writing it. My guess is they're in the process of re-writing, they know it's a ways out, so this is a way to buy them some time.

- mtgx 10y agoI'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and think they had an "Oh shit, Chrome and Safari are blocking Flash now!" moment. And after that they immediately started working on a full HTLM5 version. That said, whoever is in charge of development and I suppose FedEx bosses, too, should've seen this coming a mile away. They don't really have an excuse for not using HTML5 now.
