Also, on a more serious note: Why isn't there a website for all those massive marketing lies about every company throws at the customers, it's sickening.

Sickening? ITS MARKETING. The promise that something will make your life better is rarely true, but we deceive ourselves into thinking so because it helps fulfill the prophecy being told.

  There is a difference between saying "FaceTime is awesome!" and "We’re going to the standards bodies, starting tomorrow, and we’re going to make FaceTime an open industry standard."

      > What is the difference? Do you honestly not know the difference, or are you just trying to make a point? Because, and I feel justified in saying this, any reasonable person would look at what he said, and what has happened, and realize that he hasn't done what he promised. That it was part of the marketing for the product as well doesn't help matters. Part of the reason I got the iPhone and got excited about FaceTime was precisely because it was supposed to be open. That it's not would have played a big part in purchasing decisions.

  the point is: There is good marketing and good advertisements and then there are plain lies and false promises.
