Best Guru
Coca Guru
Caption: Valley of the Corporate Gurus
Very appropriate characterization, I’d say. It’s exactly the way I feel about that company, especially now that it’s forcing me to download everything from a ‘cloud’…
Just curious, I am sure that Wiley has this all figured out, but I wonder how he avoids problems with trademark infringement, when he does strips like this.
I noticed that Best Guru had no steps to the valley floor just a series of pedestals. Did that imply that they were out of touch of the average person?
You forgot to mention Xbox One.- Spying through the game system’s camera- Requiring a constant internet connection to play games that don’t require it- Forcing consumers to repurchase used game discs, even if borrowed from friends who purchased them earlier
Microsoft pulled these disturbing features after they drew public concern and anger, but the fact that Microsoft conceived such ideas to begin with left a bad taste with prospective consumers.
And how would my life be without them? Heh! I remember life without them. I like this better. I like dishwashers, cars, air conditioning and all sorts of things that eeevil corporations bring to me.
