It seems to be a common trait with TelephonyOnline. They did another fluff piece more recently. Different author. But, the most startling part of the article was how the openly said
That's convenient. Let's ignore how MJ operates in practice, and look at how Dan bills it (and sells it, notwithstanding disappointed customers).

If you buy a $40.00 product expecting it to be of the same quality and performance as a $350.00 product, then you are unrealistic. But if you don't have unreal expectations, you can be pleasantly surprised. It's how you look at it. Is the glass half full, or half empty??
Yeah - their support chat people who obviously are located in that Mumbai slum, are not at all helpul and even rude. What do some of these people expect for 40 bucks? |
And how many times have you bought something for your computer that was supposed to work but did not, and when you did get to talk to someone for support you would swear they were not even speaking english........ |

I've been reluctant to refer friends and associates to it because of the drama that comes with Dan. I don't have a problem recommending it. It's just the idea that I have to add 5 minutes of qualifiers that causes me to think "ah, forget it."
A lot of people point out that 99.9% of businessmen (and women) aren't Mother Theresa. Business isn't altruistic. But, I think anyone who's been exposed to Dan (and his associates) know that he takes "disreputable" to a higher level. Nobody could excuse PT Barnum's behaviors by saying all businessmen are looking to make a buck.
To me, the sad thing is that the idea behind MJ could have been a rare "destructive" technology. A "Game-changer" for the industry. Dan seem more concerned with being able to say "I sold 2 million units in two years" ignoring returns, abandonment and non-renewals.
Instead of going down in history as someone who brought long-lasting and powerful change, he's more concerned about selling 100k more units -- regardless of whether his reputation (and the product) is becoming a joke.
He might still pull off something enduring and great. But, it will be despite himself (or those he's surrounded himself with). I think the more-likely scenario is that someone buys MJ. They take it to what it could be. And Dan receives the narrow-minded validation he was seeking[1].
