You might not have noticed, but Amazon used to grant to customers the ability to preview samples of the music that they might like to purchase. You once could play 30-second samples of each of the songs from nearly any given album. Now, the reason that you might not have noticed this is that it's a feature that's become so basic and assumedly available that you wouldn't have really even considered a world where this wouldn't be the case. Welcome to 2020, folks. If you question whether you'd like to purchase an album through Amazon, then you'll just have to find out the way that we did when I was a kid considering a purchase from Sam Goody: you just buy it and listen to it. Amazon has rejected conveniences of the digital age, and has embraced the uncertainty and band-loyalty that once fed the music industry. "Why," you may ask? We may never know.

Have you ever thought that typing the letter "i" followed by striking the space bar should produce a capital letter "I?" Grow up, you idiot. What do you think this is, BasicIntuitiveWordProcessor.com? Being an online word processor, you can't really expect an incredibly robust interface, but a lot of very basic functionality is lacking. If it's your only option, well then... it sucks to suck.

What's worse than possessing a broken phone and having the folks who are to replace that phone require that you call them? Possessing a broken phone and having the folks who are to replace that phone require that you call them, and then being told by that company's website that your address doesn't exist and you're required to call them again. Apart from the CSRs being pleasant and cordial, there has never been any part of my dealings with Asurion when I thought, "Hey, that actually went pretty well for what it was." But for the people on the phones, I would like to have given Asurion zero stars.

Some decent film choices, but, I mean, c'mon, guys. I understand that this site is free, but in exchange, you'll have to prepare yourself for what is probably the most inconvenient, in-browser movie watching experience available on the Internet. In addition to the not-so-infrequent commercials, if you happen to walk away from your viewing device for 10 seconds at some point during during the last 20 minutes or so of the movie that you're watching, you might return to find that Crackle has decided that you're not going to finish what you're watching, but rather, you're going to start watching a show or movie that is not in your Watch Later list, but for some reason or another, the folks at Crackle think that you'll enjoy it better than finishing that film to which you've dedicated the last hour or so of your life. It's very much a thoughtless, garbage setup - then again, what can you expect from a young, fledgling company like Sony. Maybe once they've gotten some years under their belt, they'll get their crap together.
