What I find disturbing is that they have not made much of an effort to clean up their reputation. Which obviously means that it doesn't hurt their sales sufficiently. I think installing malware that goes to these lengths to compromise the user should make reviewers obliged to point out that the manufacturer does have a history of installing dangerous malware and that one should take this into consideration.
Not that I believe other manufacturers are innocent, but that's not really important. What is important is that reviewers take some responsibility in informing the public about what demands it should be making.
- hippo8 11y agoThe problem is, when you look at non technical users most of them care about, how shiny their new laptop looks. Or that they can play candy-crush on it or browse facebook. Not many people unfortunately I notice, care about their own privacy in the digital age. And the fun thing at the end of the day is, the end users of these products are majority non-technical users.
- giltleaf 11y agoThat's true; it just depends on where the company is trying to go and which user group they are trying to please. But then again, I see sites like passcode growing, so maybe it's changing. What do you think?
