Tired of ALL the "New" Developments and Products Hype
Jun 26, 2012 8:58PM PDT

I just want a simple computer and mobile phone that work and are reliable and easy to use.

That seems to be harder for these tech companies to come up with than the latest bells and whistles that are totally unnecessary and do not work. "New Developments and Products" are just a ploy to get people to spend more money on more stuff that is not necessary. I guess that works really well for them, but it doesn't work for me.

I wonder what would happen if they came up with a product that was truly reliable, I mean truly, and easy to use. If they promoted it, would people buy it? I know one who would.
