Carbonite one of the big losers today????
Poetic justice...
A business or other concern with little respect (or understanding) of the First Amendment might not pay attention to the 4th...
Pretty much my thoughts too. I feel the same way about facebook or any other type of “social media”.
Actually that’s NOT a bad idea. Spread the word that Progressive auto insurance advertises on Rush, or Boar’s Heads meat. Then let the liberals go git ‘em.

Hannity do that , no way, the man is a fraud and thankfully most on here know this and have given up on his phony boring crap of a conservative, sadly though there are many out there which still think Hannity is a republican
Oh, HELL NO!
Hannity is a big wuss. He’s such a phony.
NAIL ON HEAD, I’m amazed how many idiots out there still think of him as a conservative or even a republican, hell I met one woman who actually thought he was a blue collar worker for most of his life and fell for for that crap from Hannity.
Once I pointed out that he has no balls with conservative social issues, has the establishment Rove, Perino etc on and his liberal pals like Colmes, Beckel, etc then she thought about it and has now told me that she looks at him differently and does not watch him
I canceled Carbonite and bought an external drive.
Goodbye Carbonite.
Stick that in your memory ??????????
Rush must have dumped his Carbonite stock.
I have been thinking about Life-Lock for some time. Maybe that time is now. I will wait awhile to be sure they’re staying.
Looks like I will do the same on Sears.
They’ve gone down hill anyway.
Netflukes is a ripoff. Good riddance.
LOL
Dear [Carbonite CEO] Friend,
I have been a satisfied user of Carbonite after hearing about it through Rush Limbaugh, and until today I was also a stockholder of your corporation.
Even after Rush promptly apologized, it appears that you have decided that you no longer wish to be associated with Rush listeners since you have decided to bet your company’s growth on a misguided “political civility” campaign.
AM Talk radio and Rush specifically offer one oasis in the media world where issues can be discussed in a non-PC forum. Important issues that are bankrupting our country and harming ours and our children’s future. Yes, three hours of unscripted and entertaining conversation sometimes leads to errors in judgment and sometimes the wrong words are chosen in haste.
But, even these occasional glitches are nothing compared to the way that conservatives are viewed and described throughout the rest of the almost completely liberal media. You have a right as a business to advertise with who you want, and this is NOT a 1st Amendment issue, but your actions have shown that you do not respect the listeners of Rush, and now the feeling will likely become mutual, to your long-term regret.
I would prefer to deal with a backup company that is not wasting precious resources in an attempt to stifle the available voices that I can listen to to gather political information. A company that is concerned with doing great backups of precious data, not political grandstanding.
How can I get a refund for the unused portion of my 3 year Carbonite membership?
Not sure what the fine print looks like on their 3 year contracts, but someone here was advising small claims courts on the 1 year deal. The poster indicated - which makes a lot of sense - that they're not going to pay a $200 per hour lawyer to defend on a $59 bill.
I'm becoming sure that one of the reasons for their the crushing bitch-slap they got today is not due solely to Rush.
It's mostly due to Rush, but also now that the light is being shined on this company, all kinds of stuff is cropping up; like their lousy contract terms, cheaper available alternatives, the CEO's lefty connections, bad customer service, software problems, poor stock performance etc.
Questions are popping up like "what happens to my data if they go bankrupt" or "do I want a company run by lefties holding my data."
A FReeper on another thread was in charge of maintaining the PCs at his place of work. He cancelled 40 freaking accounts.
The more everyone is learning about Carbonite, it's becoming clear that Rush was a crutch for a hobbling company.
I think they're toast.
LOL that these companies just spent many years of marketing dollars to an audience of patriotic Americans that will NEVER be customers again. Liberals are just that stupid.
Sleep number will be a thing of the past soon. Retailers have stopped carrying them due to the high rate of returns.
