An Interview with 180 Solutions

Paperghost writes "Here's a great interview between Jimmy Daniels and an anonymous ex-employee of 180 Solutions, who portrays the company as being somewhere between turmoil and meltdown. There's so many notable quotables it's scary, but here's one that really sets the tone: 'Shutting down these rogue distributors turned out to be a lot more difficult than they expected though. When you lose them, your daily installs go down drastically and the revenue goes to hell. The layoff in September could be laid directly at the feet of this effort.'"

    Those fuckers are evil - even the Wikipedia page on 180 Solutions tried to install spyware on my computer.

    You'd think having so many "rouge distributors" would cause a lot of red faces.
