Worse than installing CS3

Yes. I have found something:

Getting help from Google. People can talk all the shit they want about Microsoft and Apple being uncaring, they can talk until the cows come home, but neither of those companies can hold a candle, not a fucking candle to the absolute evil apathy that is Google support, especially for Adsense.

For example, let's say that you want to transfer your adsense account to a different email account. First, fuck, are you stupid? You can't do that. So you think "Considering in two years, Adsense hasn't even paid for a good bottle of wine, fuck, i'll kill the old account, and then set it up under the new one." You kill the old account and wait a bit. Then you go back and try to create the account under the new email address. Should work? Nah. Fuck that.

Okay, fine, you get the "your application is unapproved, read the email why". Well, you didn't get one. No really, you didn't. Okay, so you (ironically) google for it, and get a link.

Yay! A link!

In that link, it has another link for you to resubmit your application. Sweet! So you go and sign into adsense with the account you want to resubmit with. What do you get?

FUUuuuuuCK OFF.

Well, it's more polite:

An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as it is associated with an unapproved application. For more information about your application, please review the message we sent to the email address you provided with your application.

I know WHY it was unapproved, it was associated with a different adsense account. I CANCELLED, PERMANENTLY, THAT ACCOUNT. I now wish to resubmit. Evidently, THAT CAN NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN.

Oh wait, there's a support link, let's try that. Okay, fill out the questionnaire, only two questions, so short and sweet. Excellent. Hit submit. Oh look, I can pick my specific problem. Great, and here's the solution:

An AdSense account does not exist for this username, as it is associated with an unapproved application. Please search your inbox to find the message you received from us, and review it for more details.

Fuck you Google. Fuck you in the ass with a rusty sawzall and a broken blade.

Right now, if Google starts losing market share, I'm going to hold a fucking party that involves a photoshopped pic. Two items: Sergey Brin, Goatse. Yeah. I feel warm just thinking about it.

I cannot wait, can.not.fucking.WAIT for all the ChromeOS morons who are all vibrating with joy to discover the fun of OS support from a company that will not.ever.talk.to.you.

Compared to Google, Apple looks like an overcommunicative tween.
