The bad review kiss of death

I just had occasion to look at my old piece here about a self-contained water cooling device that did not work very well, and checked to see whether an awful review of the device I linked to was still up.

It was not; the site is now a parked domain. Awwww.

More entertainingly, though, the company that sent me the gadget for review now has a teensy little problem with their home page, which redirects to the entirely reasonable http://yenindustries.com/index.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gifindex.gif before Firefox pulls the plug on its foolishness. Internet Explorer keeps on diligently trying to load it for a while before giving up with a less informative message.

So I'm leaving death and derangement in my wake, as usual. Jolly good.

    Through an ironic twist of fate, the link provided (dansdata.blogsome/thermagic.html) gives a 'file not found'.

    (Presumably you meant dansdata.com/thermagic.htm (without the blomsome).)

    Hee - I only now looked at this post on a mere 1024 by 768 screen! On my 1600 by 1200 main computer, the broken redirect URL fits on one normal line, but on a smaller screen it boldly thrusts rightwards into the Google ads and beyond.

    I like it!

    You'll be pleased to know that the internet archive has the Monkeyreviews review, including the graphs. They really are rather hilarious.
