‘Billionaires for Coal’ Thank Bank of America


Bild von Rainforest Action Network
RAN activists became Billionaires for Coal for a lunchtime Happy Hour in San Francisco. These "billionaires" were celebrating Bank of America’s status as the #1 investor in coal companies in the US, underwriting .9 Billion in 2009 alone and supporting coal giants such as Peabody Coal, Arch Coal, and Edison International.

First Direct’s Internet Banking “plus”?


Bild von Francis Storr
It’s 2007. Nearly 2008. How can a major bank owned by a massive international corporation operate an online banking service that uses the highly safe (cough) ActiveX so heavily that customers must use the highly safe (cough) Windows platform and the highly safe (cough) IE browser? If this was April, I’d think they were playing a joke. Unfortunately it isn’t and they aren’t.

Even reading the requirements is a joke: "IBM compatible machine"? How long ago did that phrase die out? How many customers will even know what that means, never mind if it’s relevant or not? There’s no mention of the more secure IE7 or Vista. How many people will know what VGA is? Why should they have to know? How many people will be running a monitor with less than 256 colours? Should they have to reduce their monitor’s display to 256 colours to use the site? It doesn’t say that 256 is the minimum. How many customers will know that the resolution of their monitor is? Why should they have to know?

All in all, this is a complete disaster. From implementing an OS-specific system to the text on this screen, First Direct hasn’t thought one iota about their customers.

Pathetic.
