The Power of the Intarwebs March 22, 2008

As I was trolling through my usual sources, I came across an article regarding Sony computers and their option to remove Bloatware via a “Fresh Start” service ($50) that they offer.  Pretty ballsy if you ask me.  Put something that customers do not want on their product, and then charge them money to take it back off.  Sounds kind of shady to me, but apparently I wasn’t the only person who thought so.

Soon after, Digg users had the article posted, targeted, and annihilated.  As clusters of complaints poured in, Sony then retracted the $50 fee, offering it as a free option on two of their customizable machines. 

I suppose Digg is good for something other than knocking out websites.
