Why should I continue to use your product after the way you treated your former CEO?

Hello erqerq, thanks for taking the time inquiring about the issue instead of just silently turning your back on us. You might spare a minute or two to go through these bits of information trying to clear up a some of the misconceptions that are flying around. Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking:

If it were for Mozilla alone Brendan didn't have to leave - we would like nothing better than to rehire Brendan. In fact, we didn't want him to leave in the first place. However it was his personal decision to resign among all this ongoing frenzy, threats and mischaracterization of him as a person and the Mozilla community coming from third-parties, in order for the constant bombardment to end and to avert any further damage to Mozilla and its mission that he helped build for many years in such an essential role.
So in this sad process we have lost a co-founder and brilliant technical mind and now the "other side" of the political spectrum also comes along, again very quick rushing to judgement, bashing our community and some voicing calls for boycotts against our products.
<br>In my opinion Mozilla has not deserved to be in the middle of all of this and getting entangled in the politics of the day certainly isn't the right place for us to be in. Our community exists to advance the state of the Web by promoting openness, innovation and opportunity, which should be the one goal we can all unite around, no matter which views we might have otherwise.
Thank you!

    Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
    I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
    This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
    I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
    All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am  still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
    God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
    See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

  • Why should i continue to use IPOD+ITUNES??

    I use itunes and i bought Texas Hold'em game. Nice, I said: let's go for a backup. What?? I CAN ONLY MAKE BACKUPS ON DVD AND NOT ON HDD-FILE?? Ok, don't worry, let's use a DVD... What?? Itunes don't recognise my DVD Writer??
    It' doesn't matter... Then a virus: i had to format PC. Don't worry, someone says it's simple: let's go to istore again, login, buy again the same game and then itunes would download it again for you recognising you've already bought that game 2months ago. NOT TRUE.
    Plese tell me_: why should i continue to use a software that is not able to make a simple backup in a folder or on a dvd? Why have i to buy games for ipod?

    Thanks to all. In fact I used Manually backup for all songs and cover, BUT IT DOESN?T WORK WITH DOWNLOADED GAMES. When I formatted i chenged from an ipod 3rd gen to an ipod 4th gen. I've tried to restore my hand-made music backup and it works. I've tried to restore my hand-made game backup and it lacks. So i tried to download again from istore because i bought Texas Hold'em weeks before. Istore confirms it's already bought and simply doesn't allow to dawload the game again.
    I'm gonna try with the last release of iTunes.
    By the way thanks a lot to everyone
    regards

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • CES 2013 and items that will change the way you enjoy your Programming.

    I was able to take time off from work this year, and spend it at the CES 2013 with Verizon in Las Vegas. The things that I was able to see opened my eyes to the future of video entertainment. As a Verizon customer and a Community Leader, I am very pleased with the way the industry is headed, and happy Verizon is leading the way in entertainment. Yes I am a big FiOS Fan! From the time I was first connected with fiber optics, I believe in 2006 with 15/5 speeds, and now Quantum speeds, I have been a happy customer. When the FiOS HD TV service was available in my area, I purchased my first 46” LCD TV. Can’t have FiOS quality on a 36 picture tube! Well you can, I just don’t believe it would look its best.
    View the videos on the Verizon News Website. These provide a good overview of the way Verizon provides, and will provide entertainment to their customers.
    Watch the video with Nicole Omo, who was showing Verizon devices and talks about items at the CES. Yes I was there and she was the first one I ran into when I darted off to see the new FiOS Media server as soon as I arrived at the show in the Verizon area.

    Now if you want the details on the server, see them on this page, where Maitreyi Krishnaswamy explains them in more detail, again watch the video. Also you may wish to view the video about Motorola Medios+ and DreamGallery. I can’t wait to get my hands on this new hardware. I had the experience seeing and using the remote at different times during the show, due to the huge crowds at the show, but I was hooked.

     In the video found via the link below, Maitreyi speaks about the panel she was on regarding smart TVs, and if you look real close in the video as the camera pans to the right to shoot video of the panel sitting at the table, you may catch me as the second person in the second row of the audience. My day one at CES is when she talks about yesterday that refers to the opening day. Tonight I was out looking at smart BluRay players, as my 46” Samsung is a bit older.

    The first day of course was Tue. 1/8/13 I wanted to see everything, but was able to see the start of the show. What I really went for was the Verizon area with the VMS, and it doesn't do it justice to call it a booth. I sat and listened to panel discussions of industry experts. Then of course the Keynote Address from the Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam. FiOS!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyKx_615hOA&feature=youtu.be
    Day two on Wed. 1/9/13 there was more time at the Verizon area and getting to see all the cool stuff. I was always attracted back to the Entertainment Area, with the new Media Server. Of course there was a chance to meet with various Verizon staff. To put this show together you know there were key people that were at the show. It is not every day you get to meet with the people you see on the websites. Putting the names and faces together with the people was really nice. Though they were all very busy with the media and the press, they managed to find the time to meet with customers like myself. I walked the entire South Hall top and bottom of the LVCC which seems like 2-3 football fields.
    Everyone is talking and writing about the new FiOS TV platform. Six tuners pause and resume in any room! These are just a few of many articles. The VMS is buzzing, but what I heard was whisper quite, that is when it was running, with the exception of the excellent audio.

    On my third day of the CES it was time to head off to the Central Hall to some TV vendor areas where I could see the types of Smart TVs and devices that would take advantage of the entertainment services the new Verizon hardware and streaming features can provide. What you have should work just fine if you are a FiOS customer. Or even if you are not. I could not pass up the chance to see all the new stuff for TVs. Curved screens,  10K TV. Etc.  At home we have an Xbox with the 75 channels streaming over the Internet, but the Smart TVs are really amazing. If you do not have a smart TV, you may wish to make your TV smart with the use of an LG or perhaps Samsung BluRay player. For streaming to a portable device I do not have an Ipad, but do have an Iphone. It is amazing what Redbox Instant by Verizon can do, even on an Iphone. Redbox Instant by Verizon will be available to the public soon after testing. After walking what seemed to be miles, I was back at the Verizon space for some additional video that was being done.
    Day four was finishing up for the trip home and winding down. The flight home from Las Vegas to Baltimore Washington International seemed like it was going to be a longer trip than the one out to the show. I did have one stop in Denver that held me there for a while because of snow, but I did manage to get on the Verizon Community Forums from 41,000ft in the sky, and may have even made a few posts.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Another item I should mention. The photos in my previous post were taken with a phone. So if some are blurred, that is certainly not the way the TV picture looked. So excuse my poor photography.

  • Why should I continue to use iTunes?

    I've seen nothing but problems and irritations. All I want is to put my music on my iPod.
    Sound Leveling? Don't Care.
    Gapless Playback? Don't Care.
    38,000+ songs? Great. What? Now you can't find them? F this.
    If I could get a version of iTunes that doesn't have the application bloat, that does have options I can choose with install, then I have a feeling I won't be the only person who is happy. Until then, tell me why Songbird, WinAmp or basically anything else isn't as good as iTunes.

    The 38K songs that went missing - were those on an exHD whose letter changed when Windows decided your digital camera (or USB memory stick) needed the exHD's letter?
    Never mind.
    In case 3rd time is the charm, here's a third vote for you getting rid of itunes since you hate it.
    Listening to music is supposed to be fun!

  • Why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences?

    why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences? I had about 100 or so today. I switched all of my notification anwers to NO, as in , I don't want to receive any email from apple communities whatsoever. ??? Thanks.

    You need to double check that you aren't subscribed to the community, not just to the question you asked.  Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question.  Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community.  Probably the community  where you asked your question.  Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it. 
    Hope that works for you.

  • Will the MacBook Pro w/retina display continue to download a file after the screensaver comes on?

    does the Mac book Pro w/ retina continue to download a file after the screensaver comes on?

    Hi scootsmama,
    Network connections should still continue if the computer has only gone to the screensaver or display sleep. On a portable machine, when the machine goes to sleep it closes the network connection. You may find the following article helpful:
    What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
    On all Macs:
    The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
    Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
    Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
    On portable Macs:
    The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
    Expansion card slots turn off
    The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
    An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
    The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
    The optical media drive, if present, spins down
    Audio input and output turns off
    Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
    A computer uses considerably less power when in sleep mode than when awake. The computer will continue to power RAM in sleep mode, so that whatever was in RAM when the computer went to sleep will still be there when the computer wakes. This also means that computers with more RAM use slightly more power in sleep mode.
    Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

  • Why do my texts come from my icloud after the ios7 update?

    why do my texts come from icloud.com after the ios7 update?

    Basically, your iMessage settings have become slightly off due to the update.
    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send/Receive.
    You should see your phone number and your email address. Given your description, I would imagine that only your Email Address is checked. If you CAN (it's probably greyed out), check your phone number off, and it should work.
    Now, operating under the assumption that you can't just turn the phone number back on:
    1.) Go into Settings -> Messages, and turn iMessage off.
    2.) Go into Settings -> iTunes and Appstore, and tap on your Apple ID at the top, and tap 'Sign Out'
    3.) Power your phone off completely (Press and hold the sleep/wake key, then swipe to power off).
    4.) Power your phone back on.
    5.) Go back to Settings -> iTunes and Appstore, and sign back into your Apple ID.
    6.) Go back to Settings -> Messages, and turn iMessage back to ON. Wait for iMessage service to activate.
    7.) Go into Send/Receive again, and verify that your phone number is now checked off.
    8.) Send a text message to a friend with an iPhone to verify that the issue is resolved.
    NOTE: If you do not know your Apple ID/Password, reset it at http://iforgot.apple.com.

    Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"  without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

    Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
    Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
    You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
    Good Luck
