It's really incredible; the number of people with full-blown Stockholm syndrome in this thread is staggering. Why do so many people here think this kind of thing is okay when Facebook does it? Is it simply because they feel kinship to

What a fucking terrible analogy. Do you meet up with all your family and friends to discuss things at the grocery store? Here's a non-shit analogy: what if Verizon only let you receive depressing phone calls?

I love how, no matter how slimy or nefarious or shady a company acts, there's always going to be someone here on HN defending their actions. Unbelievable.

It's funny how companies run by psychopaths -- such as Goldman -- seem to think they can play by a different set of rules than anyone else. Google should tell them to go get fucked and take some damned responsibility for their mistakes

It's funny that Verizon thinks Netflix is damaging the Verizon brand. As if there's anything more they could do to lower people's opinions of Verizon.

Same here in Australia. I could post my BSB and account number here and the only thing people would be able to do is send me money. Being able to write checks against anyone's routing/account combination in the US always terrifie

Apple's run by idiots now. There's the reason in five short words. Now might be the time to get out of AAPL if you're heavily invested.
