When luxuries turn into necessities, guess who wins?
So WTF?
As soon as you walk out the door the damn thing is obsolete, isn't it?
Pffffffffttttttt!!!
"Upstaging plasma TVs?" by Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | June 12, 2008
The new XEL-1 television from Sony Corp. is too small and too expensive. So why am I thrilled with it? Because the XEL-1, with its 11-inch screen and $2,500 price tag, provides an enticing glimpse into the future of television. It's the harbinger of a new technology that makes today's flat panel sets look like your grandparents' 27-inch Magnavox.
I just fucking bought a flat-screener last week with my rebate check!!! WTF?!!!!!!!
The XEL-1 was introduced last October in Japan, and came to the United States in January. It's the first consumer TV based on an enticing technology called OLED - organic light-emitting diodes. Sony and other major TV makers believe OLED is destined to become the dominant flat-panel TV type, rendering today's plasma and liquid crystal display sets obsolete....
You know, I'm getting sick of this TECHNOLOGY RACKET!!!
Nothing is ever good enough, and nothing ever lasts!
Talk about CREATING a MARKET!!!!
And CUI BONO?
For now, OLED is suited only for consumers with thick wallets and excellent eyesight.
Like everything in this society!!!!
The screen is too small for comfortable viewing unless you're seated just a couple of feet away....
Then WTF good is it? $2,500 dollars for a MATCHBOOK?!
Pffffttt!
So this GREAT PRODUCT is actually MORE INFERIOR SHIT!!!!
I am SO SICK and TIRED of HORSESHIT MARKETING telling us how great pieces of shit are!!!!
A high-end LCD or plasma set should provide 50,000 to 60,000 hours of normal use, or up to 20 years. Sony says the XEL-1 is good for just 30,000 hours, or more than a decade. The video technology research firm DisplaySearch said last month that its own tests indicate a much shorter life span of around five years...."
Just in time for you to RUSH OUT and get the NEW PRODUCT, right?
Unless it breaks before then -- or they come up with some NEW GADGET you NEED!!!
It's what is known as PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE, readers, and it BENEFITS CORPORATIONS quite well.
Yes, AmeriKa, you can go back to eating shit, thank you.
Whatta RACKET, huh?
