I believe.

That cell phone companies end out updates that damage their customers phones after the two year mark.


That Mcaffe is more intrusive and annoying than the viruses it protects you from.

That companies purposely keep tech lower than it should be so they can roll out new upgrades to grab more users.

That windows updates mess your computer up forcing you to update your OS.

I was speaking with my wife about potential vacation spots, and I mentioned Salt Lake City. Without searching for anything, I started seeing ads for SLC tourism in sidebars on several sites.
