Louis Rossmann’s rants, tips, and ideas on the laptop repair industry.
Yelp is the new groupon; effective at spreading hatred and misinformation.

Yelp is becoming the new groupon. Let's take a look at the below review. This is a review of a very reputable and successful company. Some of it I get - dissatisfaction with the aura of a place, the experience with people. Some of it seems to hint that this person would be impossible to […]

Do you really expect a receipt when going to someone's house?

I found this Yelp! review below funny, and characteristic of the often unrealistic expectations of some Yelp! users. There are many people out there who are of touch with reality. I believe businesses should always issue receipts without being asked. However, the expectation that a one-guy-in-his-apartment business issue receipts is silly. The reason you go […]

link-sys, slandered by the New York Post!

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/in_of_the_storm_cZbXPXlc5VWo52sI2aDmRN My thoughts can be found in a comment in the article. They make it sound like the guy willingly works on stolen phones. They don't mention in the article they never told him the phones were stolen, or led on that they were hot in any way. I know Kumar from link-sys. He's a […]

Continuation - oversaturation, service attitudes, and more.

I am continuing on the prior blog on how over-saturation of the market has effected expectations. As stated 2 entries ago, there was once a time where people literally begged for their machines to be worked on. People were incredibly nice for no reason.
