The author needs to read this and get a life. Stop focusing on the downsides and actually do some work. It's as though people want to entirely forget the past and merely see the present.
Furthermore, shame on HN for taking on the liberal agenda and feeling pity. It's one thing to point out a problem. But to point out a problem without offering a solution? This is pathetic. For the first time, I am embarrassed to be part of this community. Way to be objective like the logical type we aspire to be guys! You've really let me down by even allowing this to reach the front page. This does not help me write code better... in any way. You have exploited HN by posting, and REALLY? upvoting this kind of bullshit.
I've left a couple of comments on HN about the perils of multitasking. Didn't go over well. Not a popular idea here... unless you can find something online to back you up!
You shouldn't. Although I'm in software now, I've done enough hardware design to know that sometimes shit just happens no matter how well you jump through all the hoops.
It's a pity that it happened so soon after the product was released, but things like this are not at all unusual. In fact, they're lucky that they found out about it right away. I've known of suppliers changing the component they sell you without informing anyone or changing the part number, causing problems that go undetected for years.
It just says my patience will be rewarded with tea... I'm on an iPhone. I'm going to have to be patient for a very long time to get this tea. And I'm thirsty now.
Seems like the WakeMate guys are desperate to burn bridges. There are proper channels for addressing negative reviews... This isn't one of them. It's difficult for me to maintain interest in a company that doesn't respond to criticism with a promise to do better in the future. Oh well.
