    The Stupidest Company On Earth

    http://www.netdrive.net/company.html

     

    I give you this link just to point out how bad this company is. I found NetDrive, I like the idea, I might even use it because I have a need for sshfs in windows. I decided to see what sort of company made this product... Lets find out:

    1) Solution Box -- un locateable on google since solution box gives quite a fucking lot of hits of all bullcrap.

    2) There are NO LINKS on the damn about website.

    3) I might need something like OpenDisk (made by our friends at the Solution Box). OpenDisk is also ungoogleable. At least without digging around for a while. And no its not www.theopendisk.net...

     

    Can they make it any harder to find their product? I am going to see if I can use their email to actually get links.

     What, you mean like www.solbox.com?

     Of course, that's not much help to you unless you read Korean.

    I think that somebody might have dicked with his browser security a little too much. I can see that link fine too.

    People really need to learn how to do Google searches.

    When you're getting too many results, you narrow it down with other terms you expect to find on the same page.  Type in '"Solution Box" OpenDisk' and it's result #4.

    Of course, TDWTF is now result #1 - I didn't realize how quickly these forums got indexed.

    It's just an unusable site, not a WTF.

    The OP's complaint about the company page: the only piece of green text that actually is a link is the email address at the bottom. The rest are images. However, the links on the way top of the page still work.

    FWIW, flashblock on Firefox was blocking the "Download free" link. Maybe he didn't notice.

    Googlebot is "intelligent" when it comes to frequently-updated sites like forums and it can pick up changes rapidly.  What's amazing is that the data is pushed into the worldwide, distributed index in pretty much real-time and is available for searching.  Google is fucking scary-awesome.

    I think netdrive is a skinned version of webdrive. It even uses the same installer icon.

    I already found all this. Its just so stupid that they won't link to their site. I would expect clicking on their banner to take me to their site. Clicking on the names of the products to go to the product site...

    They have an english version... Some is english because a few strings were not externalized :P Also the english link is broken. The bastards.

    Code is like a box of chocolates. You never know who stuck a turd in there and why.
