Google+ No thank you

Dear Google, I dont want to use Google+, Facebook or other stupid social networks (spart from linkedin, which is for my work purposes). So please, stop setting up Google+ accounts for ANY services I used to like - such as Talk, Picasa, YouTube. And yes, I know, you started a social network during 2011.

Whats even worse I use avast! on all of my devices, and now there was new avast! backup app for android, I tried it, but no, what it needs? Google disk. And what does google disk need? Set up a fucking Google+ account!!! Jesus, how many times will I have to disable the bloody Google+??

If you like this article add +1 on Google+ (thats a fucking joke).

Update: I just found out that even wiriting reviews on maps needs Google Fucking+. Soooo I suppose its only matter of time that "accounts" will be transformed into "Google+ profiles". But I do not want to have any public profile and see stupid assholes in my "circles". The reason why I dont have a facebook.

2019 UPDATE: Google+ is dead. jeej.

Great documentary movie called Crooks (Šmejdi)

Usually I am not moved that much by a movie, but yesterday I saw a movie called Crooks. (another link here) (in Czech Šmejdi). It is about how companies in the Czech republic are scheming seniors/elderly people to buy worthless goods for tremendous amount of money.

Terrible. That is the only word I can say. Manipulation, humiliatin, threats, abusive language, signing documents under pressure, confiscation of ID and in the end signing the contracts from the seniors who go home with vacuum cleaner that is worth 50 euros with the pricetag of 2000 euros.

The people who are presenting the goods and yelling at the seniors, well I gues they could have been overseers in concentration camps for sure. I have never in my life seen anything terrible like that.

The movie ends with the shot at the property/chateau from 1380 A.D. that is owned by the German Jensen Beckhäuser. It is now being sold for aproximately 40 million euros. This guy owns one of the biggest companies in the Czech Republic that is scheming the money from the seniors. Even bigger fun, he also owns the chain of fitness Beck Box Club. Hopefully I am not member, but if I would be, I would tell them to fuck off after seeing this movie.

I really dont get it, how this can be possibly legal and that these persons are getting away with this. What is worst, there are around 500 companies who do this in here. Just terrible.

But what is the most sad part of the movie is the sentence that the movie ends with: "What is your grandma doing tomorrow?" I guess that one of the reasons of success of such terrible companies is that young people are now disconnected from their parents/grandparents and they feel lonely and thing that going to such presentations of goods is a great way to spend their time.

Windows 8 marketing claim

"Everything you could do in your Windows 7, but with one click more!"

Dont know why, but there is LOT more clicking in Windows 8 - because almost nothing works in the Metro. And the Metro picture viewer? Biggest pain in the ass without touchy screen.

customer service my ass...

Jeez, I dont really get it. I just spent 1000 USD in the VAN GRAAF shop in Prague (bought new suit and couple of clothes) and they refued to give me the original JOOP hanger that was there with the suit in the shop. They tried to give me the "van graaf" one, but I dont want it. I have already one suit on this and it is total shit, because:
a) trousers keep falling down
b) the hanger is thin, so the shoulders will fold badly on it

First I tried to be nice with the cash register lady. Did not work. So I called for the manager of the cash register ladies. He told me the same crap and was doing stupid questions like: "Do you really want me to call the manager of the whole store?" And I was like: "Sure thing, thats what I am here for, call the main shareholder if you will, but I dont want to hang my suit on this crappy shit."

Jeeesh, so after 10 minutes he came back with JOOP hanger that was not wooden, but hopefully even if it was plastic one it had:
a) the "thingy" so the trousers will stay there even when travelling
b) the hanger was broader.

Jesus and this I got after shouting and two persons (the LOL store manager did not come) and 10 minutes of my time. Jesus fecking christ...
