airtel and net neutrality? dream on.
okay. i’m not a fan of airtel’s ethics. i think we have that established by now. they, obviously, are no fans of mine either.
but this time, they’re just being arseholes. isps across the world have gotten flak for it, but airtel decided to jump on a bandwagon that’s been tipped over several times already. do they not do their research?
rant being over, here’s how their latest rubbish works… when a user types in a web address that doesn’t exist (i’m using AirtelIsRunByRetards.com as an example), your browser should take you to a page that says the web address can’t be found. what airtel has done is this: they take that page and chuck it out the window (ha ha! pun!); and show you their own page, with their own ads, run by a company called “on speed.” well, the r&d team at airtel is definitely on something, but i’m guessing it’s a more malicious drug.
nice work. what’s next? insert their ads into search results? net neutrality, scumbags. look it up.
disclaimer: i don’t normally use internet explorer, but a screenshot about crap deserves a crappy browser. get firefox.
what goes around, comes around
i’ve said it time and again… and here’s solid proof of bad karma coming back to bite you in the ass. delhi is way too over-run with gypsies, tramps and thieves, and we keep getting conned by them, repeatedly…
and this season’s assholes: the agency responsible for this fiasco had it coming… what were they trying to scrimp on this time? the 5k that it would have cost them to hire a half-assed doctor?
yes.. it’s to do with (yet another) client ripping us off.
someone once mentioned that my bad-mouthing lousy clients on my blog would deter potential clients. i don’t think so. honestly, i don’t give a fuck. we’ve made it ample clear that we’re selective about who we accept as clients. even at the cost of not getting as much work as we’d like to. it’s better that way, than to workfor people who turn heel overnight. and run at a loss in the long run.
and if a “potential client” is threatened by the thought of being written about, there’s definitely a lot of dishonesty lurking in his mind. we don’t need that breed of client, thank you.
