  1. I have never "forgiven" Lenovo after the Superfish fracas, and I still think about the company in the same way I did back at that time. No one has to agree with me, of course, but the whole deal about maintaining the image and tradition of Thinkpad line always smelled a bit fishy to me. Thinkpads kinda died when IBM sold it... some almost 15 years ago now? It'll just slowly go that way... trend for trend, slowly being cheapened. Motorola will probably also go that route. I mean, lots of people may forgive and forget some stuff pretty fast, but to me trying to install adware that turns out to be spyware directly into laptop firmware just to squeeze more money out of their line of products takes a certain type of philosophy from a company that tends to be insidious and structural. So I tend to blacklist companies like that. Lenovo with Superfish, Dell for their line of shoddy Windows tablets, HP used to have a huge problem with shovelware but they've been doing better lately, Blackberry for their single key encryption that was handled to canadian mounted police, OnePlus for private data collection going into some server in China, Samsung and the entire Note 7 case... the list goes on. It's all about how they respond when they are caught red handed.
