Mind of a Young Undergrad Entrepreneur

Yes! Today, I finally got a chance to get back at companies that outsource their call centers.

I purchased Quickbooks Pro 2008 for my startup company - Influenza Media with the assumption that it will support multi-currencies just like ALL previous versions. Sadly, I found out that it only supports CDN currency when I got home.

I gave Quickbooks a call and asked about their “upgrade service”. Long story short, they asked for another $200 dollars to “upgrade” my Pro version to a Multicurrency version, which makes the total sum up to ~$400 dollars. That’s fine because they had told me that I could keep the Pro software…which means I can just return it back to Best Buy (where I bought the software) and get my full money back!

What costs $400 dollars - I got for $200 all from “upgrading” my software.

In your face India!

I’m a daily user of Digg.com and it’s just pure awesome. If you haven’t heard already (if you are a techy and haven’t heard of Digg then shame on you!) Digg is a social bookmarking website that allows users to share links to interesting stuff on the internet.

While I was surfing on Digg the other day, I noticed the top stories were composed of mostly stories about Apple.
