Comments on: Vaio vai is Sony charging $50 to remove trialware? http://www.rossrubin.com/outofthebox/2008/03/21/vaio-vai-is-sony-charging-50-to-remove-trialware/ Commentary on the post-digital device market by Ross Rubin Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:48:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Tamara Busch http://www.rossrubin.com/outofthebox/2008/03/21/vaio-vai-is-sony-charging-50-to-remove-trialware/comment-page-1/#comment-3467 Tamara Busch Mon, 24 Mar 2008 03:10:22 +0000 http://www.rossrubin.com/outofthebox/2008/03/21/vaio-vai-is-sony-charging-50-to-remove-trialware/#comment-3467 Great commentary. Why do computers have this junk loaded on at time of purchase? What if other things in life were like this? That my new Mazda CX-9's radio would spout out commercials ever hour and I would have to pay to have that feature deleted? Or that if I bought a new LCD screen that it would automatically come with features to allow me to buy programming like TiVO built-in and I would have to order a non tracking display. Only if I could get a non Webkinz, Power Ranger, Hanna Montana, High School Musical, Nickelodeon, Disney oriented child... T Great commentary.
