That is all? Really? What does 502 even mean?
TechCrunch has an article up Dear Google, What's Wrong With You? not about policies or ideologies, but about the actual functioning -- or not functioning -- of the products. Most of the geeks are concerned with Android and its apps not working, which I don't care about, because I long ago abandoned two buggy Android phones and switched to iPhone.
But I do ask about the poorly-functioning or badly-designed other products, because as must as I malign Google for sabotaging liberal democracy in its ideologies and corporate actions, I've usually found the free products to work. They've stopped working, even though Google had its most successful quarter ever, with billions of dollars in revenue for new sales of gadgets like tablets and phones.
My comment on TechCrunch:
Yesterday I got a "502" error while posting on G+ again and again. It has a picture of a broken robot. I didn't even know G+ has a fail-whale, but it does!
Google Docs is so frustrating. Not only are there the saving issues. When you scan and send a document to Google docs and it is not right-side up, there is no way to fix the angle within Google Docs itself. Sure, you can then download the PDF and then fix it in Adobe, but that's no permanent solution. Why is it that previously (not sure why latest version doesn't have this), on Firefox, I could access Google docs and fix their angle in the browser, but I can't do this on Chrome?
Come on, guys, you made billions this quarter, can't you make it so we can turn a damn document 90 degrees in Gdocs? Is it really that hard? I mean, you make driverless cars. You can't get a document to turn on its own?
Really, the problem of Google is its profound indifference to customer service. Customer service and customer requirements are utterly alien to this company. It got spoiled, inducing search dependence.
Come on, invest some of those billions in the United States and help create jobs and move the economy by making real customer service. How about opening stores that don't just hawk your gadgets but have live people to actually fix all the many frustrating problems -- arbitrary removal of Google AdSense, that annoying Chrome bug that seems to save all your tabs in perpetuity that not everyone experiences, the ridiculous forcing of people to back space and refresh the browser to save their searches.Think of the people, Google!
