Marketing, what crap (none / 0) (#3)
by Anonymous User on Wed Apr 02, 2008 at 10:48:45 AM PDT

It is so difficult to find true specs anymore.  If one is lucky enough to find it, a similar product, even made by the same company, lists the spec using different terms or measurements.

Most of what one finds is pure marketing hype ... like those words have any real meaning.

I wish the US had better consumer protection laws, but money talks and big business writes the rules.  For the most part, we are screwed.

This topic might be of interest to the AG, though, especially since Logitech hasn't fixed the misleading (at best) advertisement.
