TD is trolling us...I swear.

(13 posts)
  1. Idk if anyone else is subbed to the Tigerdirect YT channel, but recently they've been putting out techupdate auditions. These people are so horrible. Only one individual out of the four I've seen even seemed like they remotely had a clue about computers. One guy even said he didn't know about what was happening in the tech industry. These audtions are so bad that I feel like TD is trolling us.

    SMH, honestly TD is this what you are offering us? It isn't all that hard to find someone who knows about PCs and technology.

    For the record, the only guy I think is decent is O'Neil.

  3. Despite the accent, I actually don't think Armando is that bad. It seems like he at least knows his tech and has watched a few review videos before, and he has a good sense of humor. O'Neil is good, but he just seems kind of average in my opinion.

    But yeah, most of the guys I've seen so far have been absolutely terrible. Maybe I should apply, hahaha.

  5. ....wow
    none of that is technology.... "wow, this laptop has 4 usb ports" congrats.... usb devices only need one IRQ channel, you can just keep slapping hub's on until you have 127 devices connected... thus its a fucking afterthought when buying laptops...

    i could sit down and tell you the differences between ddr3 and gddr5 memory off the top of my head (gddr5 has an added 8 bit look ahead bus)... or the cas latency of XDR memory (1.25ns)...

    if someone is going to do tech update, get them to talk about tech, not shitty video games or usb ports! god damn... 22nm processors are on the edge of being made, and all you can talk about is your love life with world of warcraft?

  9. Guys, to keep this in one word, why don't invite more disgruntled, logical people who's tired of more BS from Tiger to here and leave Tiger to serve more tech noobs or in other words, "standard" people. Don't forget to ask the real techies to unsubscribe from them though.

    Just another idea, I personally don't care about this saga.

    Just another idea, I personally don't care about this saga.

    Incoming wall of text:

    Tiger won't allow this, they are too old fashioned. It was a company formed back in the 80's, and they have refused to change their strategy as to marketing and products, they still have a ton of newspaper ads for clearance 'deals' and 'sales' to get people who nothing about technology to buy their products (I get them all the time in West Palm).

    It wasn't really until Logan got there that a web presence was established, and even then it was limited. The people they hire are not geeks, in any way, shape or form. Tiger hires salesmen, Logan was first and foremost a salesman, with the added benefit of being a nerd. Bauer & Albert were salesmen, but Tiger got rid of them because their own ways didn't match Tiger's old means of doing business.

    Tiger is looking for someone who can sell products, regardless of whether or not they actually know what they're talking about. They will sell to the masses, and the nerds lose out. They hired people like Logan, Bauer (Who was originally in Radio), and Albert because they know how to talk, be funny, and most importantly of all, sell products.

    As Logan had said, the new CEO is doing some really good things. The old CEO stole from the company and is currently undergoing litigation against him (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/money/lawsuit-former-compusa-executives-stole-millions-2090385.html).

    ....Nearly nine months after Gilbert, Carl and Patrick Fiorentino were physically escorted out of the Miami headquarters of the company they started in 1987 and fired, the first official account of their transgressions has emerged in a lawsuit.....

    Eventually Tiger will adapt, the new CEO is doing just that. Though the company still has a lot of "baggage" (A lot of baggage actually) to get rid of, and until they do that the company will stay in the same rut. Because people are working to prevent innovation and change in the company.

    Also, Miami is a horrible city, foremost, there is absolutely nothing to do professionally there, nothing but bars, strip clubs, and tourist attractions. It's not somewhere you would really want to live unless you're hitting the clubs and doing lines of cocaine night after night (Probably a bit much but I've made my point). So obviously Logan hated it there.

  11. Out of all the 'videos' so far, and I use that term lightly here, Ryan is the best thus far. This job is a public speaking role, if you can't speak fluently, efficiently, or with a clean accent (*Cough Armando, Luis) you just can't do the job. While Ryan is babbling because he has absolutely no idea what to say, I think if they threw a script at him, he would be the most qualified of them.

    But really, all Tiger is doing right now is embarrassing these poor people by not giving them anything to say.

    "I want you to romance this laptop", I mean, What the Fuck? Does this have anything to do with getting to learn how someone would speak?

    I have not logged into my old yt account (recently made a new one that I will use to upload my videos) and I didn't get to see this. But honestly, all the laptop reviews I saw from Albert and Logan were pretty much all the same. Same price, same features and a customized look from X company that was the reason to buy it. Unless they talk about gaming laptops I don't see much use in these. I'd rather have them talk about motherboards and graphic cards.

    I don't know if I want to see these.
