Soapbox! – Some companies out there just take advantage and have no morals. SoftwareCandy is one of those.
(http://www NULL.rj-diamond NULL.com/alex/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/softwarecandylogo NULL.png) **I will start by saying that this post is entirely my opinion. There is a company that I just became aware of called SoftwareCandy (I will not put their link as they really don’t deserve that). The company claims that they are
Inspired by a Vision
At Software Candy, we believe that your computer should serve you, not the other way around. We believe that your Windows® XP, Windows Vista® or Windows® 7 experience should be fun, easy and productive.
That is why and how we came up with the concept of "the perfect software":
The problem is that what they are doing is going around the web and taking posts and solutions from many sites (sites that do not charge for their time and efforts) and then using that information like if SoftwareCandy was the one who came up with it (not giving credit to the original person), and on top of that SoftwareCandy proceeds to charge for this as well.
So they take others works (things that took and time and effort for the original person to develop) and than take credit for the work and make money from unknowing and unsuspecting visitors to their site.
We as techs all face similar if not the same issues, computer issues are computer issues, but for someone else to wait until you do all the work and then take all the credit for it shows a company with serious moral issues.
To those readers of TGM, I can’t tell you want to do or not do, but remember that you have options. If you don’t see answers to a needed solution here on TGM, you can always search the web for others who work just as hard as TGM to provide assistance without charging you, or you can send TGM and these other sites requests. TGM (as well as many other sites on the web) work very hard to help answer questions sent in by our readers. I’m sure you will be able to get a solution without having to pay a site like SoftwareCandy.
This ends my Soapbox**
