First it was SystemD, which is horrible and unnecessarily complex and obtuse. Whatever genius came up with it I'd like to thank personally with a punch to the face.
Then the geniuses decided to go for the gold and piss thousands of people off by bricking everyone on upgrade without warning:

Palm is just another example of a huge corporation imploding under its own weight. When management goes bad, all the good tech employee's leave. Then all that's left are the employees who have dug in and created a nice shell around them. Other people in upper management surround themselves with employees who would help protect them. So now you've got all these crappy employees who have dug in. its called the peter principle.

And by bad management i mean management who doesn't address some of the more ephemeral aspects of managing a company, like setting aside good chunks of money towards research and innovation to advance the state of the art inside the company.
Also big thinkers like Dawkins tend to be floaty and in the clouds, but you need to have people that are solidly planted in the fundamentals of business and the economy. Once the financial stability of a company starts suffering bruises to its reputation all the top talent starts leaving to other more relevant opportunities to advance their careers.
You would think some of these companies would realize that simple things and gestures by a company towards its top IT Talent goes a long way, even if raises or other such compensation may be lacking.
A company is its Talent. and I'm afraid that all thats left at Palm is support staff.
I could be wrong but where are the new products? Where are new advances to Palm OS? Obviously there is a big lack of leadership at Palm, and its sad.
Hilarious, what you guys dont realize is who these cables are marketed towards, theres a bunch of rich yuppie producers that have so much disposable income that they will snap these up.
Also, how many DUMB DUMB DUMB recording artists build studios in their homes? remember these are pot smoking artsy fartsy universe energy harnessing artists, and how dare you use a two dollar and ninety nine cent cable in their private home recording studio.

As soon as I actually began to comprehend the syntax of systemd commands, I knew it was a catastrophe. Underneath the veneer of the administration tools lies this: http://hhe.wikispaces.com/file/view/rube-goldberg.jpg/51160771/rube-goldberg.jpg
