Why find it humiliating?
I personally find this to be quite neat, knowing that there are CEO's that are actually like the rest of us. He does silly things, lives a normal life, but just happens to be rich (Im assuming... if he is CEO)
Why is it annoying? Your not losing any functionality because its labeled "Beta". What they are doing is saying "hey this product is good, and its gonna be even better some day investors". Its alot better, I think then releasing a product a la "Windows" with bugs and its share of flaws.
Not true... On sprint, when you pay for the ringtone, it gives you the option to download and re-download as many times as you would like for 90 days (in case you delete it, etc.) but as long as the ringtone in on your phone, you can keep it for the life of the handset.
I think its pretty sad that some of the first few comments on this article are supposed to be funny. This is a serious issue, and I think even joking about it is bad for the morale of people who are trying to stop this sort of thing from happening.
But then again this issue hits closer to home for me... My younger brother was sexually assualted many years ago, and honestly if I found the guy that did it, I would probably take his life.
