Steal on hard drives!


Recommended Posts

did anyone mention they are ATA-100? I will definately pass. I have a Maxtor 120gig ATA-133, so no thanks on a larger drive with less performance.

Yeah, but for us with ATA-100 boards, the 8MB cache is well worth it....you won't notice any difference between an 8MB cached drive at ATA-100 or an 8MB cached drive at ATA-133. At all.

nice news post creamhackered...

and doug is right... and especially if you RAID them as most people have stated they would be doing then of course you won't notice any difference. The PCI bus will max out before the HDD throughput does on a 3-4 drive striped array.

the price is $143.99 now

if ubid was smart they would allow their mistake to go through

it's not like they don't rip off thousands of people everyday themselves

try provantage sometimes they can't be beat for price

its all in the laws in the land you live in. i ordered that geforce4 4600ti for $129 from bestbuys website.

They had to honor the price since that is the law in virginia.

its call "switch and bait" it means that a seller can not charge a lower price and then jack it up to the right

price and cancel the sale or advertise other similar or same product.

if anything ubid will be losing buisness in the long run... im sure they sold all the drives at the low lahrd price

and if they cancel MY order im sure as hell no going back to them to do buisness!! im sure a lot of you would

agree w/ me on that!! its bad buisness to cancel the orders like that!!

When bestbuy actually sold me that card for $129 i have since then bought atleast several items since then

since they were human enough to be flexable. I will continue to buy from bestbuy at this rate.

as for ubid, if they cancel my order i will NEVER buy from them again!!

ya, I'm in Va as well, so maybe I can fight this down the road. But it's definitely a long term sort of thing. You can't really expect to hit them with a lawsuit and win, it really is just a technical mistake. And it's up to them whether they want to win over some customers for many years to come by honoring their prices, or lose them for ever.

uBid's Role and Responsibilities. uBid.com features two types of marketplaces, and uBid's role and responsibilities vary in each such marketplace.

uBid Direct Marketplace. uBid itself is the seller of the products offered in uBid Direct Marketplace. uBid undertakes responsibility for all aspects of the transaction and the product listing, including product descriptions, identification of quantities, establishment of starting and maximum bid prices, establishment of reserve requirements (if any) and shipping.

its Ubids responsibility for the price and not the users once the user had brought it

best buy sold me a TI4200 that was on sale, it keep breaking and i had to send it back, the second or third time i sent it back (yes i know, it was PNY and they kept giving me duds) they gave the me cash-back sale price again (it was a $60 rebate that brought it down to like $90, another $60 meant i was paying only like $30 for the card :))

The company i work for, DishNetwork sold a pay-per-event that was advertised as $23.95, but was supposed to be $32.95. Our system charged customers $32.95

on their bill. we did catch the error and made an adjustment for the difference. on top of that we issued a free pay-per-view coupon for people who had automatic

drafting and were actually charged. people were kinda angry that we messed up, rightfully so, but we accepted the loss and compensated fairly and also gave a bonus

to customers that actually paid for the PPV through direct credit card sale or automatic drafting. our customers were happy and not too mad, but since we admitted to the

error and corrected it fairly, they are happy to do buisness w/ us again and keep doing buisness w/ us.

the difference here is that IF[\b] ubid does cancel the orders, they will lose customers new and current who accepted the price for a product and were cancelled.

i see that in these 2 cases my company did the right[\b] thing, but there are other companies out there who can be fart-lahrds and admit they messed up and

not care about the customers that had expectations of a purchase and to be let down.

face it, if you get screwed by a company, it will stick to you for a very long time and on top of that you would tell other people of this and those people would tell

other people... in the end ubid would lose out on tons of potential customers and lose potential profits.

this is a no-brainer for companies, but especially in corporate america, they are blind to this and can give a rats-butt about it

lets hope ubid will do the right thing...

((checking inbox now!!))

Ya, it is much better for the company in the long run as far as customer satisfaction, return buyers, and word of mouth referrerals. But in all honesty, when people are ordering 8-10 drives each, it's almost absurd. Almost abusing their good nature if they honor the price. That's why I thought the 1 drive per household would be a good compromise.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
