More about the so-called Blackberry Owners’ Lounge .更多有關所謂黑莓業主休息室 。 By now it’s very clear what that Lounge thing means: throw a red sofa here and there around the site, call the site an “Owners’ Lounge” to invoke the idea of basking in something “premium” or “exclusive”, and that’s it!由現在的很清楚，什麼樣的休息室的事是指：扔一個紅色的沙發在這裡和那裡周圍的網站，呼籲該網站一“業主休息室”引用的想法姥，在一些“溢價”或“獨家” ，和這樣就大功告成了！ No need to put in any real meat.沒有必要把在任何真正的肉類。 Even after almost a year of existence there is still barely anything available from the Owners Lounge.即使經過近一年的存在還有什麼勉強可從業主休息室。 They have been promising us a mobile version of the lounge for months with no avail!他們已大有希望，我們的移動版本休息室，為個月，不得要領！

Why is the Blackberry Owners’ Lounge為什麼黑莓業主休息室 advertising廣告 a limited 10-feed version of Freerange as “FREE software” (caps and all) as if it were a big deal and not in fact a limited edition that’s always been available elsewhere?有限的10 -飼料版本的freerange作為“ 自由軟件” （瓶蓋和所有）作為如果它的一大處理，而不是在其實是一個限量版 ，這一直是可用在其他地方呢？

And why is it為什麼它 advertising廣告 the regular commercial 30-day trial of IM+ in the Owners Lounge Exclusives section of the site?定期商業30天試用版的IM +在業主休息室獨家節的網站？ What particular idea do they have of the meaning of the word “exclusive”?有什麼特別的想法，他們的一詞的含義“獨家” ？

And what’s the deal with FOX Business News For Lounge Members ?和什麼樣的處理與福克斯商業新聞為休息室的成員呢？ It’s not even an application, it’s just the mobile version of a site.它甚至沒有申請，這只是移動版的一個網站。 How can that be “exclusive”?如何能成為“獨家” ？

And 30-Day FREE TRIAL - wow, free trial!!!和30天的免費試用-哇，免費試用！ - of Garmin. -高明。 Also in the Exclusives section.此外，在獨家節。 As if nobody else could have the great honor of using that trial.至於如果沒有其他人可以有很大的榮譽使用審判。

I know I am a very bad man who’s going straight to hell, but I can’t help visiting that Owners Lounge site and seeing the following message being dropped on every passer-by: “People who buy Blackberries are obviously stupid and devoid of any judging capacity, so let’s treat them accordingly” .我知道我一個非常壞的男子誰的直去地獄，但我不能幫助來訪的業主休息室網站看到下面的消息正在下降，對每一個過路人： “人誰購買黑莓顯然是愚蠢和缺乏任何判斷的能力，讓我們對待他們，因此“ 。 Way to convey Blackberry superiority to potential new customers!的方式轉達黑莓優勢，潛在的新客戶！ Where do these marketing people get their diplomas?在哪裡，這些營銷人得到他們的文憑呢？

I think RIM could have gone one of two ways with their “Lounge”:我認為RIM公司可能會經歷以下兩種方法之一與他們的“休息室” ：

• Give us real treats from time to time. Come on. 讓我們真正的對待，從時間，以時間來對。 Four Web sites have teamed up to give away a completely四網站聯手放棄一個完全 free and full-featured version of Freerange自由和功能的完全版freerange . 。 Why can’t RIM?為什麼不能環？ Ronen arranged with Mobihand a ronen安排與mobihand 1 20% discount 20 ％的折扣 on all software purchased at the BerryReview store對所有購買的軟件在berryreview商店 , valid for more than a month. ，有效期為個多月。 Hey!嗨！ He’s doing it again,他的做法再次， 15% this time 15 ％ ，這個時候 ! ！ Why can’t RIM?為什麼不能環？
• Give us nothing. That’s fine, we understand we live in a capitalist world. 給我們無關，這很好，我們也明白，我們生活在一個資本主義世界。 And they still can sell stuff on their “Lounge”.他們仍然可以賣的東西對他們的“休息室” 。 But don’t lie to us.但不在於給我們。 How about this copy instead?如何對這個副本而非呢？

“Are you a brand new Blackberry owner? “你是一個全新的黑莓的主人嗎？ You probably have noticed that your Blackberry already has several applications that guarantee your permanent connection with the most important people in your life.您可能已注意到，您的BlackBerry已經有幾個應用程序，保證您的永久結合，最重要的人在你的生活。 But there is more!但有更多的！ Discover many other exciting applications you can buy to make your Blackberry experience even better.發現其他許多令人興奮的應用，您可以購買，使您的BlackBerry經驗，甚至更好。 We have several suggestions from our most valued partners.”我們有幾點建議從我們最有價值的夥伴“ 。

Wouldn’t that be a lot more honest ?不會說，有很多更誠實 ？ But apparently RIM came up with a third choice: give us nothing while trying (not too hard) to make it look as if we were getting something extra.但顯然RIM公司想出了第三個選擇：讓我們無關 ，而試圖（不太難） ，使其看起來，如果我們獲得了一些額外的費用。

To be fair, at least the games are bona fide.要公平，至少，遊戲是真正。 They are indeed free and most of them are great.他們事實上是免費的，他們大多都是偉大的。 But we don’t need this Lounge scam for that.但我們並不需要這個休息室騙案為。 The games have been available from the actually exclusive Blackberry browser’s Home page for a long time.遊戲已可從實際上的獨家黑莓瀏覽器的首頁相當長的時間。

If a company that has如果一家公司已 a net income of $412.5 million淨收入四萬一千二百五點〇萬美元 can’t hire better copywriters and sponsor real promotions that make that “Lounge” stuff ever be useful or even make sense, then maybe they should just close it.不能聘請更好的撰稿人和贊助者的實際促銷，使“休息室”的東西永遠不會有用的，甚至不通的，那麼，也許他們應該將它關閉。 Who would miss it?誰將失去它呢？ Why???為什麼呢？ ？ ？ It’s been around for months and served no purpose except cause us embarrassment.它的周圍被數個月，並沒有任何的目的，除引起我們的尷尬。 Leave the lying and deceiving to the carriers.離開撒謊和欺騙，以運營商。 You can’t compete with them in that.你不能與他們競爭，在這一點。

What about you?什麼你呢？ Can you not make that instant connection between blatant lies and what they seem to make of our intelligence as Blackberry users?你能不能作出這樣的即時連線之間的赤裸裸的謊言，什麼，他們似乎使我們的情報作為Blackberry用戶？
