I’m so traumatized by the fact that my US$5 is taken away from me through this GoDaddy auto renewal service. It is of a service I don’t want and I did not know it was auto renewed till when it was auto renewed minutes ago. Oh that’s so great.

Parting with my 5 bucks - the worst day of my life. I don’t remember setting it to auto renew. I guess it’s in this labyrinth of checkboxes that I did not notice. They like to put a bunch of bright graphics and that always distracts me from the form controls, i.e. the check boxes and radio buttons.

You know this GoDaddy is reputed for all the wrong ways. I haven’t heard good stories except that they have pretty good Super Bowl advertisements sometimes. That asides, GoDaddy as a online company is poor. The web site is slow. The support is slow.

When requesting for email support it says the expected time to revert to me was 3 hours on the website. It’s just for show. After I reported ‘the incident’, they send me an email immediately:

Your question has been received. You should expect a response within 24 hours.

This is your Incident ID: BLAHBLAH

Thanks,
GoDaddy.com, Inc.

Please do not reply to this email. Emails sent to this address will not be answered.

You should never ever ever tell your customers not to reply an email unless it’s a bloody newsletter and the mailing software did not support it. Okay, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

Take a look at the preferences:

I wish they come out with Acrobat Reader Lite or something. Acrobat Reader is just filled with crap I don’t want at all.

Adobe Reader actually feels slower and slower these days. I just want something to read my documents with, I don’t want to fill in form, don’t want 3D, don’t want JavaScript, don’t want collaboration tools, don’t want read aloud tools and all those additional navigation tools.

Acrobat Reader is in this stage where they have nothing to add in the software any more and the program managers just have to get creative in order to keep everyone’s jobs. All the additional fanciful tools just serve maybe 1% of your customers. The rest of 99% are totally clueless why a bunch of text take so long to load.
