Why? Because I called their “Xfile” app a piece of shit from UI-standards point of view and that they were pimping that “IT-personnel-oriented” stillbirth as a “drop in Finder replacement”. All from my posts:
http://www.godofbiscuits.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=1&search=rixstep

Their hallmark, though, outside of feeble ad-hom attacks, is the wall themselves off:

  • no way to challenge what they say on anything
  • and as they complain about OS X bugs that haven’t been fixed, they stopped using Apple’s official way to report bugs, then BLOCK OFF ACCESS TO THEIR SITE from all 17.x.x.x addresses (Apple’s entire IP range).

It’s the most deranged and self-damaging site I’ve yet to see.

They’re like ill-trained monkeys flinging poo and humping on a Mac keyboard.
