Beyond: Why I Had to Stop Using Apture

    It sounds a bit like British housing:

    Ah I detect British Workman syndrome here:

    Oh I almost forgot: It’s a British hosting company. What did I expect? Charity? Is this yet another example of rip-off Britain?


    Posting random anti Brit insults on servers run by a British company is going to help your case how exactly?

    I fail to see how Apture can be a memory drain but I may be missing something.

    I have a theme running on this blog about my view of Britain these days as a massive rip-off society where everybody is out for what they can get by hook or by crook.

    As a Brit myself I am sick and tired of living in this rip-off culture. Here's a very recent example:

    When energy prices went up by 33% our gas and electricity bills went up by 40%. Now that energy prices have fallen by 40% our gas and electricity bills are going to fall next month by a measly 10%! - And the energy companies are trying to appear generous.

    I wouldn't go so far as to describe these as either anti-British or insults. They are the products of my cynical outlook on growing commercial greed. - As if the credit-crunch hadn't taught anyone anything.

    As for Apture being a memory-drain; it appears that it does use up quite a lot of resources. - If removing it has indeed cured the problem as it appears to have done.
